Turning a single cycle of a recorded sample into a wavetable for Kyma oscillators.

When composing music with samples, it's worthwhile to explore all of the musical opportunities in that samplereversing it, timestretching it, granulating it, etc. Along those same lines, you can take a wavetable fro a sample and use it in your oscillators, so, instead of using the usual sawtooth, square, or sine waves, you create an oscillator that has a timbral connection to the sampled material.

Here, I show how to take take two vowel sounds from a vocal samplean "ah" and an "oh"and cycle them in a Kyma oscillator, creating unique timbres that blend with the original sample and its processing.
