Architecture Waveforms Cakewalk Edition, is a collection of over 2,500 meticulously designed wavetables provided in standard .Wav sample format for use in Cakewalk Rapture, Cakewalk Dimension Pro and other supported synths and samplers. The collection offers:

• Vast expansion of available timbre pallet for wavetable synths • Newly developed timbres offering fresh, unique starting points which stand out from the competition • Transformation of sampler instruments into synth instruments • Bleeding-edge sound-design using complex waveforms as modulation sources and other advanced techniques • Algorithmically developed content that is mathematically perfect and the highest fidelity of anything similar in the market • The largest and most diverse collection of its kind on the market

This product is supported and
co-marketed by Cakewalk and
Galbanum. In supported
Cakewalk products it provides
the following benefits:

• A simple and inexpensive method of quickly and effortlessly expanding the awesome potential of supported Cakewalk products • Perfect integration into Rapture, Dimension Pro, and other synths and samplers allowing easy navigation and management • Complex waveforms that retain full detail in bass range, and are transposed and perfectly anti-aliased by Rapture's industry leading synthesis engine, providing the cleanest and highest fidelity use of the Architecture Waveforms to date • A limited number of exclusive waveforms available only for the Cakewalk edition

Galbanum's Architecture Waveforms were originally developed for Architecture Volume One, a massive 8GB resource DVD for U&I Software's Metasynth, and contained over 1,000 waveforms. These waveforms were then translated for NI Absynth, and licensed in part by NI for use in Massive. Galbanum continues to update and expand this collection and this edition is effectively the third version of the library. The total number of Waveforms for this version of the collection is now over 2,500. We have added some very interesting new categories and vastly expanded on the some of the previous categories. We have also made some minor revisions to the folder naming and organization to make navigation of this immense library even easier. The reference manual gives a brief description of each of these categories as well providing a visual representation of an example waveform in each category and offering some suggested usage. Suggested usage, however is only that - a suggestion - and experimentation with various use, misuse, and even abuse of these waveforms is highly encouraged.

This product is part of our
"Future Synthesis Technology"
family, along with Architecture
Volume One

Leading Cakewalk users who have aspirations to be on the cutting edge of modern sound-design, or lead new movements in all forms of progressive electronica will find this collection invaluable. Key users include sound-designers, producers, scoring professionals, artists, multi-media developers, and all synthesis/sound-design enthusiasts who are looking to expand their sonic pallet into new territories.

This library was created using tools that allow for a new level of detail and precision that was previously impossible. All efforts were taken to maximize resolution and fidelity. Some of these where calculated algorithmically using pure math in Visual Studio (C++). Others were edited at the single sample level in high precision editor like Sound Forge. All of them are as mathematically perfect as is possible for the format, and the format itself is vastly superior to most/all of the classic wavetable-based hardware synths that we know of. Liberal use of these waveforms as sound-generators, modulation sources, and waveshaper curves, can give results which are truly amazing.
