«UPIC waveform editor» by snappizz

A fun little GUI toy emulating a freehand waveform editor as seen in Iannis Xenakis' UPIC software. Draw on the graph to edit an oscillator's waveform in realtime.

Is it possible to save the waveform?

The latest version sets "~waveBuf" to point to the buffer, so you can access it even after the editor is closed. (It's in wavetable format, so use Osc to play it and not, say, PlayBuf.)
