How do I install the AOS-Wavetables into the Surge XT VST synthesizer?

To ensure proper functionality of all sound presets in the Infinite XT – Volume 1 collection, you need to install the AOS-Wavetables on your computer. This installation is required only once and the process is very simple.

Note: This installation does not affect any of your existing or previously saved user presets.

The AOS-Wavetables are provided free of charge as part of the Infinite XT – Volume 1 soundware collection and are stored in a separate folder of the same name.

After the installation is complete, the AOS Wavetables will be available directly in the oscillator selection menu of Surge XT under WT → User Wavetables.

Notice: To ensure a smooth installation of the AOS Wavetables, do not launch Surge XT or your DAW during the process. Without the AOS Wavetables installed, some presets in the Infinite XT – Volume 1 collection will not function correctly or may not work at all.

All installed AOS-Wavetables can also be used individually to create your own custom presets.

macOS: /Users/Your User Name/Documents/Surge XT/

Linux: ~/Documents/Surge XT/
(This folder is created automatically when you save your first preset or change any user settings.)

What each part of the directory path means:

 
•  C: – the system drive
•  Users – the directory where Windows/macOS/Linux stores all user profiles
•  Your User Name – your specific system username (e.g., John, Isabella, StudioPC)
•  Documents – your personal Documents folder
