Wavetable synthesis is a technique used in certain digital music synthesizers to produce natural tone-like sounds. The sound of an existing instrument (a single note) is sampled and parsed into a sequence of circular tables of samples or wavetables, each having one period or cycle per table.
How does wavetable synthesis work?
Wavetable synthesis is fundamentally based on periodic reproduction of an arbitrary, single-cycle waveform. ... The position in the wavetable selects the single cycle waveform. Digital interpolation between adjacent waveforms allows for dynamic and smooth changes of the timbre of the tone produced.
Is wavetable an analog synthesis?
Wavetable synthesizers depart from analog synths by replacing the voltage-based oscillator with wavetables.
What does a wavetable do?
Wavetable is a new synth that's both intuitive to use and vastly capable. Stretch, shape and morph sounds into a broad sound palette using wavetables derived from synths, acoustic instruments, noise and much more. Start playing right away, or go deeper into sound design than you've ever been before.
