Extracting and repitching wavecycles

[patmaddox]

I'm trying to use CDP to create single cycle waveforms to use in some of my synths. I've been digging around the docs but haven't had any real luck... here's what I'm trying to do:

1. Extract one or more pseudo-wavecycles from a long audio file
2. Modify it so that it's 600 samples long (or some other arbitrary sample length)

I've found sfedit zcut which lets me extract parts of samples at zero crossings, but they're not pseudo-wavecycles. I can't find a way to restrict the number of zero crossings it finds. Is there a way to do that with CDP?

And then once I have a single cycle waveform, how can I change it so it's a certain number of samples?

Have you tried packet mode 1? It's for extracting short snippets and I understand it's also based on zero-crossings.
