# Wavetable to Image Converter

![Static Badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/rust-000?style=for-the-badge&logo=rust&logoColor=fff)

## Description

*[Serum](https://xferrecords.com/products/serum/) can turn images into wavetables, but how would wavetables look as images?* ~ someone probably

This is a command-line tool that converts WAV files into images. It's useful for generating wavetable images for synths like [Serum](https://xferrecords.com/products/serum/). It generates them based on samples, not spectrum data. 

*Maybe i'll expand this cli in the future* so you could import images to synths like [Harmor](https://www.image-line.com/fl-studio-news/introducing-harmor/) too...

## Builting from source

Make sure you have cargo and make installed. Clone this repository and run:

```sh

make build

```

To uninstall, remove `wavetable-to-image` from ~/.local/bin

```sh

rm ~/.local/bin/wavetable-to-image

```

## Usage

```sh

wavetable-to-image --input  --output  -n 

```

- `--input `: Path to the input WAV file.

- `--output `: Path to save the output image file.

- `-n `: Number of sample skips per iteration. Adjust this to control the length of the output image.

## Example

```sh

wavetable-to-image --input test.wav --output test.png -n 32

```

This command converts `test.wav` into `test.png`, skipping 32 samples per iteration.

### Batch Conversion

*(temporary workaround)*

```sh

find  -type f -name '*.wav' | while read f

do

  wavetable-to-image $f "/$(basename "${f%.wav}.png")" 16

done

```

## Roadmap

- use wgpu library

- image to audio conversion
