by the description I think he is trying to do wavetable synthesis with the Eventide. none of the links work so I cant listen to the examples. Wavetable scanning requires fixed frequency wavetables so that as the start and end points of the scanning playback postion move through the table the start and end of the wave are on zero crossings. various comercial products allow you to use your own wavetables but are still restricted to needing a properly formatted wavetable to function correctly.

using crossfades at the start and end you could get around the fixed frequency limitation but you would have to use crossfades longer than your lowest frequency cycle to avoid pops.

cool idea tommylee! I hope you share your patch when it is done.

other products that sound similar to this idea are the Harvestman Tyme Safari, Elektron Monomachine mk2 and MAX/MSP
