Sound Synthesis Basics
95 Blofeld User´s Manual
This principle offers powerful capabilities. To give some
examples:
• Each note on a keyboard can access a different wave
of a wavetable.
• Different waves can be played depending on key
velocity.
• A LFO can modulate the position within the wave-
table. You can create subtle to drastic sound changes.
• User-selected controllers e.g. the mod wheel, can
change the position within the wavetable. When you
turn the wheel while playing a chord, each note´s
wave will be modified intantly.
• Wavetables are perfect as FM sources when you want
to create very strange sounds.
You should keep the following sentence in mind:
A wavetable is a list with 64 waves, among which you
can move at will.
w If you like the sound and possibilities of wavetable
synthesis, you should try out the virtual instrument
Waldorf PPG Wave 2.V which is part of the Waldorf
Edition plug-in bundle.
