If I remember correctly you're right, the 00 end is the bass frequencies. This explains why when you switch to a High Pass Filter in the Synth screen that the sound cuts out - the default value is FF, which means that the cutoff is happening at the highest point (i.e. - all frequencies are being cutoff but the highest possible ones, so you might not hear anything unless you are a dog and can hear those high notes wink )

Instead, try to embrace the timbres and come up with wacky crazy sounds through trial and error - you'll have a lot more fun with happy accidents than trying to make a specific thing and failing at it

WAV sound design for me goes like this: Start with sine or a thick square so you have a lot of bass - then mess with parameters and chip away at the bass frequencies until you get something you like. It's like ice sculptures then - you're starting with a big block and then chipping (pun intended) away until you get something really nice and unique to your own sound!

Any recommendations for tutorials that get more in depth into wav instruments? Preferably ones that assume I'm clueless.

You can make some frames with mostly noise bursts to simulate the attack phase of a musician blowing into the flute. maybe creating a table that will take care of the frame switching/looping. Vibrato and tasteful volume modulation will be very important for emulating a flute.

you could also use the third frame of the synth with a slightly different volume and shape, then alternate quickly between the second and third frames with F commands inside a new table to imitate flutter tonguing (F01 to move ahead, FFF to move back) - you can then activate this new table inside a phrase using an A command. using a variety of vibrato speeds

(Vxx commands) will also help make a flutey tone sound more convincing. it's all about articulation, really. LSDJ is really good for flutey articulation though!

Specifically I want to create a flute wave instrument, but all the tutorials I find are just about kick drums and snares.

Does anyone know of any tutorials for other wav instruments or have any tips about how  to go about figuring out how to make instruments that imitate orchestra parts?
