Wavetables #491

Description

CircuitPython has a nice tutorial on making music tones with synthio. In the demo video it sounds awesome, but I was confused how it was getting all that timbral complexity from a simple osc-filter-ADSR setup.

The clue is that they are using wavetable morphing and the code includes a set of waveforms that are referenced to the (now defunct) waveeditonline web site (although you can still get the wav file there). The file is called BRAIDS01.WAV, which seems to imply it is extracted from the Mutable Instruments BRAIDS synthesizer, a multitimbral/multi algorithm Eurorack module, which is open source. I'm guessing there's a lot of art put into the Braids wavetable, so it might be worth seeing if we can import and use them too.
