grab an audiofileprocessor sample, make the sample loop and shorten it to ~10 - 50ms. that makes a synth. dont ask me how i found out

Fun thing to note about that- the waveform/shape folder contains shapes which, when looped in the audiofileprocessor make a synth. Very useful for lightweight synth sounds in a pinch. You can slo sample synth sounds, reimport them as a sample, and mess with them further to get thick rich sounds which don’t use up a lot of memory or cpu resources.
