Before watching this, I thought wavetables were so much more complicated, precisely because of the fancy wave sampling visualisation thing Albeton's Wavetable does. I thought there must be some sort of dimensional transformation maths kinda thing going on, along the lines of FFT; thanks for explaining it so concisely!

So basically wavetable synthesis is moving or morphing between a bunch of single cycle waveforms. I always thought this was the case, but info about it has always been ass at describing it. It has been well over a decade since I've written music, but the one thing I really remember that is also a great example of a wavetable synth is FL Studio's Granulator. On my channel I did a Hardstyle/Hardtance remix of Cosmic Gate Fire Wire and manipulated the hell out of the Fire Wire vocal clip. If you're curious on what it sounds like, the wavetable manipulation is not that long after the acid section at the start.

awesome video! I had been getting confused by other definitions of wavetable synthesis by the word 'sample' being used in more than one context
