42 Graphic Shaper Presets
I was googling waveshaper shapes looking for new ideas and I saw that the Surge XT synth had a list of different wave shapes it uses for distortions
I have re-created them in graphic shaper, named and placed them into specific folders.
I have no idea if I have converted them properly as I wasn’t sure where to start many of the shapes
I thought I would share these presets with the forum
Download the zip file and unzip to Drambo - Presets - Graphic Shaper and then load them up in Drambo project.
Hopefully someone will find some use out of these.
Would love to hear any suggestions or advice to make these better!

Lovely, thank you!
Sometimes i wish I could freely place a semi-transparent image inside the Graphic Shaper to re-draw curves.
BTW, if you want an insane collection of distortion shapes then have a look at iZotope Trash.
You might also want to check out this patch from the early Drambo days (and try it with your own shapes) 😊
And here's an updated version with a few more tones:
Thanks for the reply! I’ll check out izotope Trash and see what shapes work. I do wish I had an iPad as most of the Surge XT shapes were hard to draw on the iPhone. One step at a time.
I’m surprised I had not seen the Instant Meditation project on patch storage before. I’ll check out both of the patches / projects you posted.
Well, with over 700 Drambo posts over there, it's easy to miss a few :)
Last week I was trying to build a 64 steps ladder, and well the snap Y only goes to 32. It wasn’t probably the best approach, but anyway my point is it would be good to have some way of importing complex curves you make elsewhere, maybe a pseudo language like for code, or an XML file, whatever
I can quickly make a text file in whatever language, using excel for instance, but editing it directly in drambo is impossible (to the best of my knowledge)
Exactly.
We could even build a database of shapes, on the drambo docs or something
Would be amazing if you could use illustrator or a vector graphic program to create curve shapes using bezier handles. Then import them directly
You know that adding bezier curves is possible inside Graphic Shaper already?
Yes and it works beautifully!
I would still like a way to import complex custom curves, like the example I mentioned, a 64 step ladder. A simple text file with some way to specify (precisely) the X and Y points would be great
not a priority of course
Definitely 😊
These are much appreciated!
Whoops! I meant to say bezier curves with a Pen Tool! I love using the Pen Tool and it would give us total control when creating the shapes with anchors, control points, multi nodes etc.
Sorry I don't understand.
What's wrong with this?
Nothing is wrong with the graphic tool. I was just thinking if it worked like the Illustrator Pen Tool I would be more used to it. And if I ever get an iPad I could use the Apple Pencil to draw some crazy curves!
How does the Illustrator pen tool work?
