Note: Audiofiles may have been editted slightly to fit the Mercury Live Coding environment better

Waveforms​

Single Cycle Waveforms are only used in Mercury4Max, MercuryPlayground only uses the basic waveforms sine, saw square, triangle

All single cycle waveforms thanks to the amazing AWKF pack. AKWF or Adventure Kid Waveforms is a collection of one cycle waveforms to be used within synthesizers or other kinds of sound generators.

Wavetables​

All wavetables have been generated from (slightly) adapted code from the Mutable Instruments Plaits module, thanks to Emilie Gillet. The original source can be found through the link below. The code to my adaptation for these wavetables can be found on my codeberg here: https://codeberg.org/tmhglnd/plaits-wavetables
