Individual folder downloads of the AKWF pack
All the single cycle wave forms from the AKWF pack but broken down so you can download each folder separately. If you want them all you will probably want to download one of the all in one pack that you find here.

Acoustic guitar
Single cycle waveforms sampled from acoustic guitars.
Aucostic Guitar – Single cycle waveforms
Alto sax
Waveforms sample from a alto sax.
Alto Sax – Single cycle waveforms
Birds
I sampled some birds.
Birds – Single cycle waveforms
Bitreduced
Waveforms that are bit reduced… Sounds video gamish.
Bitreduced – Single cycle waveforms
Blended
I mixed wave forms in a analogue mixing console to get blended waveforms.
Blended – Single cycle waveforms
Perfect waves
The most perfect waves I could produce.
Perfect waves – Single cycle waveforms
Basic waves
A collection of basic waves but taken from various sources. When I started to sample one cycle waveforms I found that a saw waveform coming out of one machine isn’t like the saw waveform coming out of the next one…
Saw waves with a gap at the zero crossing
c604
Waveforms taken from my beloved Commodore 64
Cello
Waveforms sampled from cellos.
Clarinet
Waveforms sampled from clarinets.
Clavinet
Waveforms sampled from clavinets.
Dbass
Waveforms sampled from double basses.
Distorted
Distortion noise whoooooaaaaaaa!!!
Electric bass guitar
Waveforms sampled from bass guitars.
Electric guitar
Gitaaaaaah!
Electric organ
You got an organ goin’ there no wonder the sound has so much body.
Electric piano
Waveforms sampled from cellos.
Flute
Waveforms sampled from flutes.
FM
Waveforms sampled from FM synthesizers.
Granular
Waveforms created using various granular techniques.
Hand drawn
I made these! Hand drawn… Oyeah!
Human voice
Waveforms sampled from voices.
Linear
Waveforms made by using linear interpolation.
Oboe
Waveforms sampled from oboes.
Oscillator chip
Waveforms sampled from a oscillator with 32 steps.
Overtone
Waveforms made by a very simple additive synthesizer I built. Sounds like an organ.
Piano
Waveforms sampled from pianos.
Pluck algorithm
Waveforms made using a pluck algorithm. The waveforms is taken from different stages of the generated sound.
Raw
RAAAAW!!!
Sinus waves harmonics
Sinus waves and harmonics.
Snippets
Waveforms sampled from really short pieces of anything. Television, the trains going by, the microwave oven, etc.
Stereo
These are stereo waveforms, not many synthesizers can read those…
Stringbox
Waveforms sampled from my favourite string box. It sounds nothing like a string quartet but I love it. The string box is more or less these waveforms + a cheesy chorus.
Symmetric
Symmetric objects are beautiful.
Theremin
Waveforms sampled from Theremins.
Video game
Waveforms sampled from 8-bit and 16-bit video games.
Video game basics
Some basic waveforms from video games.
Violin
Waveforms sampled from violins.
That’s all, happy sound designing!

Hi! This is so amazing!
Do you have a place to download the wavetables as a “full sweep”? I guess I mean instead of single cycles, a wave file that cycles through all the waveforms in a wavetable? I want to experiment with an Elektron Model:Samples, but so far I can only find the single cycles to loop. I’d love to automate or use an LFO on the sample start time, giving me different waveshapes.
Hopefully this makes sense!
Hi I am working on the next version of AKWF wich might be named AKWT as in wavetable.
Hi ,
I’d love to see if these are wave tables are comparable with the U.D.O audio super 6 ..
Here are the requirements from their website .
The alternative waveform format for DDS 1 is as follows:
16-bit signed integer format samples
Normalised, single-cycle waveform with 4096 points (8192 bytes)
Bandlimited at sampling frequency/8 (Nyquist/4), i.e. frequency content above 512 Hz in your 4096 point waveform should be removed
Binary file containing no header data and file extension .ws6
Would any of your waveforms fir this criteria ..?
I’m more than willing to donate if this is the case..
Thanks
Hi
My name is Sam and I have just started using Caustic 3.2. I downloaded the Free AKWF single cycle waveform folder that os supposed to go in Subsynth. The problem I’m having is I don’t understand what to do with the large grouping of files in each folder. I’m pretty new to the sound synthesis game having done no more than change the FX loop direction on my guitar’s BOSS Gt-10. I’m primarily a guitarist ( played ~20years) but this sound synthesis thing is awesome to me and I want to get started. Thank you so much for all the work this AKWF package must have taken!
Hi Sam! Sorry for the late reply… I am working on sequenced waveforms but in the pack here it is basically one offs. I haven’t used Caustics unfortunately. I use them in many ways. Some synthesizers I have can morph between waveforms or just transition between them. That’s how I mainly use them kinda like regular oscillator shapes. People have done all sort of things with them though. Good luck!
Thank you 🙂
This is EXACTLY what I was needing for use in iZotope’s Iris 2!!! Thank you so freakin’ much!
Cool! Have fun!
this is amazing sound quality!! using such sounds in either caustic or g-stomper i just gotta figure out how if u know. give heads up how two input such sounds please thank you. my donation will come later. no space for such downloads of samples as of right now.
Hi there, these .wav waveforms are really cool. I would like to get them into a straight text file, something I could import into Excel. do you know the easiest way to do that?
Do you mean the names or the raw data or the data but in a specific data format?

Adventure Kid waveforms resampled to C and with octaves spread across slices so each wave file contains C0-C7. Made for Octatrack but adaptable for gear that can set start end end points of samples. Should save space and directory browsing.
Otherwise just use the direct waveforms I posted below.
The friendly folks at Elektronauts took this single cycle waveforms and repitched them to C so they play correct chromatically.
