Wavetable synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that uses a series of waveforms, or "wavetables," to create complex sounds. Each wavetable contains a different waveform, and the synthesizer can smoothly transition between these waveforms to produce evolving timbres. This method allows for a wide range of sounds, from rich pads to sharp leads.
In wavetable synthesis, the user can manipulate parameters such as position within the wavetable and modulation depth. Popular synthesizers that utilize this technique include Serum and Massive. This flexibility makes wavetable synthesis a favorite among electronic music producers and sound designers.
