Wondering if anyone has developed, or has ideas for how to make an envelope graphic with 6 time parameters and 6 level parameters. This is for the wavetable envelope in the 3rd Wave synth. Currently I’m using faders for the parameters but would prefer a dynamic envelope graphic. Cheers. John.
EDIT: I’ve I had done a bit more research I would have seen that @oldgearguy had developed a flexible envelope graphic using the XY pad. I will investigate.

Yes - the Waldorf XT has an 8 stage time/level Wave envelope and a free envelope.
The difference between the two (mainly) is one can be bi-polar (I think - gee, it’s been a long time looking at this stuff).
If you need help extricating it from the XT code, let me know, but I seem to think you’ve very competent. 
EDIT - I see that I also posted a more isolated version as a demo in a thread and you found that as well.
My work here is done.

You are a scholar and a gentleman! I have been able to adapt your well documented code to a standalone preset for controlling the 3rd Wave’s wavetable envelopes. Having the touch screen control is a great feature too! There is something very pleasing about watching the envelopes on the 3rd Wave’s screen move around as my finger glides across the E1’s screen.
The hard part will be trying to build this into the 3rd Wave preset itself. Cheers!

Glad I took the time to make some notes in-line. Sometimes I’m a little too minimal with my examples.
It does seem like full integration into the 3rd Wave sysex is more of a challenge than it should be.

Well, the negativity is mostly in my head. It probably won’t be as bad as I think. Setting my expectations low lol. The 3rd wave is mostly complicated by reading in and storing all patch names, and by caching the parsed program so that I can compare edits with the original in real time. The wavetable envelope shouldn’t interfere with either of those since it is mostly about the UI.
Thanks to @oldgearguy there is now a touch screen UI for each of the three 6-stage wavetable-envelopes that makes visualizing and editing much easier and more fun. It should largely mimic the dynamic graphic on the 8M display screen except only one envelope is shown at a time. Might need some touch up but is basically all there.
