Pre-made Wavetables/Wavetable Banks

Hello max community!

I'm hoping to get some help here since I can't really seem to find any answers researching on my own. Recently I've been playing around with generating my own wavetables in max to make some new timbres and it's been a lot of fun.

That said, a lot of wavetable synthesizers I've played with have a lot of really nice pre-made wavetables to represent different instruments or timbres (an example could be intellijel's eurorack module "shapeshifter"). Making my own wavetable buffers is definitely cool, but I also think it would be fun to experiment with others. Plus, I really don't have the technical know-how to write an algorithm to generate a wavetable close to the timbre an oboe , for example. I imagine there could possibly be 512 sample audio files around that could be loaded in a buffer.

So....... are there any wavetable banks or files that I could use with that anyone knows of? I would really appreciate it if someone could point in that direction :)

I think I was actually just using the wrong wording when I was googling earlier. I found a couple of resources for waves, thought I would share in case anyone is interested:

This one costs money, but I liked the sounds. Going to play around with the free ones before I pay for anything:

If anyone knows of any others I'm definitely interested!

yep, you will find tons. but it might end up beeing more work to adapt all the different lenghts to your synth than creating your own. :)
