Wavetable synthesis

Wavetable synthesis is a sound creation method where complex sounds are generated by cycling through a series of pre-recorded wave shapes, called wavetables. Think of it like flipping through pages in a book, each representing a different sound element. By smoothly changing between these waveforms over time, the synthesizer produces evolving, rich sounds. This technique allows for dynamic modulation and a wide variety of timbres, making it popular in digital music production for creating expressive and complex tones.
