OVERVIEW OF THE TONVERK STRUCTURE The illustration below outlines the Tonverk structure. 128 PATTERNS PROJECT SAMPLES 4 GB SD CARD Projects, Presets, Samples, Wavetables 16 SONGS 16 TRACKS 5.1 SD CARD The SD card contains Tonverk data, where Projects, Presets, Instruments, Samples, and global settings are stored. The amount of data you can store on the SD card depends on the size of the SD card. Tonverk comes with a 64 GB SD card. The recommended minimum card size is 2 GB, and it must be formatted in exFAT format. For more information, please see “6.11 SAMPLE BROWSER” on page 25. 5.2 DATA STRUCTURE 5.2.1 PROJECT A project contains 128 patterns. The project also stores general settings and states. The currently loaded project becomes the active working state of Tonverk. From here, it is possible to edit the patterns and presets of the project. Every time Tonverk is switched on, it boots to the active working state, the active project. Projects are saved, loaded, and managed in the FILE menu. For more information, please see “9.1 THE FILE MENU” on page 33. 5.2.2 SONGS A song is an arrangement of patterns set up to play in sequence. Each row in the SONG mode arrange ment can have separate settings for pattern, row repeat, row length, and tempo. A song can be up to 99 rows in length, and each project can contain up to 16 songs. For more information, please see “10.11 SONG MODE” on page 47. 5.2.3 PATTERNS The patterns are the primary data container for Tonverk. Sixteen patterns are available for each of the eight banks, resulting in 128 patterns for each project. A pattern contains up to 12 presets (one for each audio or MIDI track), plus sequencer data like trigs and parameter locks. It also includes the settings on the TRIG page, as well as BPM, length, swing, and time signature settings. For more information, please see “10. THE SEQUENCER” on page 38. 5.2.4 SAMPLES Tonverk can load and play WAV and AIFF audio files (samples) with 16/24/32-bit depth (floating and fixed point) as well as M4A, CAF and FLAC files. The preferred sample rate for loaded files is 48 kHz (mono and stereo interleaved). Files with other sample rates (44.1 kHz/ 88.2 kHz/96 kHz) can also be loaded, but they will gracefully degrade in quality when played back. You can load a sample of up to 45 minutes on a track. The minimum sample size is 96 samples. Samples are stored on the SD card, and the size and number of those samples are limited only by the available free space on the SD card. For more information, please see “9. PATTERNS, PRESETS, AND INSTRUMENTS” on page 33. All samples that are played on a track in Tonverk are played back with an attenuation (low ering of volume) of -22dB to maintain headroom in the device. The sample files themselves are unaffected. 5.2.5 WAVETABLES A wavetable is an audio file that contains a number of waveform waves. Tonverk supports up to 64 waves per wavetable and interpolates smoothly between them. Each wave in the wavetable must have a power-of-two size (in samples): 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, or 4096.
