The
Wavetable Synthesis was the first digital sound synthesis method
developed at the end of the 1970s. The shape of a single cycle waves
is described in a look up table as list of sample values. A look up
table oscillator interpolates this table to produce waves of the
desired frequencies by looping this table as long as the sound will
last.
To enrich the dynamic of a sound you can mix two wavetables by digital interpolation. The wavetables can be taken out of natural waves (record and automatically select appropriate waves) or from a collection of wavetables. For convenience they are collected in categories like vintage, fourier, natural, oligo or special. You can specify a series of wavetables by selecting the target wavetable (first click) and adding the source wave (second click) from the collection list. You can also import a wave (*.wav or *.mp3) and automatically transform it to a series of wavetables by one click. And you can create a series of wavetables by “Transform” any of the actual synthesizer sounds by one click. This dynamic wavetable sounds can (like usual) be modified by the ADSR-modulator and all sound-effects.
