Spectral wavetable · hcde6rk7

Play it on your computer keyboard: A–K (white keys), W E T Y U (black keys), Z/X octave down/up.

Upper harmonics carry the whole sound, so it bites and cuts with nothing underneath to anchor it. As the frames advance the tone slides and tightens, darkening toward the end, while neighbouring frames morph smoothly so the movement stays even. It thins into a sharp, glassy edge.

Free spectral wavetable for lead, fx, 256 frames, royalty-free.
