Quite possibly the best explanation of wavetable synthesis I've ever seen, really fun to follow along, and so many 'lightbulb' moments after trying to wrap my head around it for so long!

He does that to you. He takes a complex topic you couldn't understand for the life of you and explains it so that a five-year-old could understand it, without omitting any important details. One point in which I have to object his explanations though is around 3 minutes in. He says that having a basically unlimited number of permutations in the oscillator is what gives wavetable synths their unique sound. I think this makes them absolutely not unique, since you can just imitate the oscillator of any other synth. The fact that analog synths all have slightly different characteristics in their oscillators, based on what components were used and how they're made, down to the very impedance in their circuits, gave each and every one of them a unique sound. Even when trying really hard, you couldn't make a Moog and a Roland sound exactly the same, they'd always have slight differences. With wavetables, this uniqueness is dead and gone.

@@LeBoomStudios yea that's true, but with enough skill and/or technology, you could create the uniqueness, and potentially create other unique stuff, exactly as it sounds in you head. That includes relatively simplistic sounds similar to the subtractive oscillators that ur talking abt. This is literally my first video on eavetables so idk if people use them for that already, but I think you could get some really sick sounds like that.

@@LeBoomStudios and another thing, I actually came to this after additive synthesis, which seems to be talked about like the graphene of synthesis lol, and for good reason. But anyways, I thought about combining wavetables with additive synthesis, and even using traditional oscillators as bigger packets of harmonics to use in the additive portion, which you could already recreate in modern wavetables, to basically create the ultimate sound synthesis machine lol. And if we're lucky then maybe with skill, and maybe the help of more technology like AI or something, we can learn pattern that create certain or specific sounds, including those in the physical world with accuracy, and maybe even recreate small unique kinks like you said in old analog synthesizers. As well as real physical sounds and instruments in the real world ofc. And then combine them and all kinds of things, can u imagine. I think that would be awesome and would love to see what people come up with with that.

Pigments is probably my favourite VST, likely in part because of the huge library of awesome presets it comes with, but the whole engine is amazing. Fun fact! Ensoniq tried to make wavetables a thing with their hardware samplers a few decades ago. They called their version of it "transwaves" but I don't think it got a lot of use. They implemented it by modulating the loop location in the wave by increments of the loopsize, so it was pretty memory hungry.

Thought: If a waveform from a pure old-school wavetable synth is identical to the waveform of an analog synth, it follows that it should sound every bit as "warm and pleasing" as an analog synth, right? I guess the answer is no because the filter of the analog filter - which the waveform is going into after coming from the oscillator - is what is most responsible for the "analog sound". Unless the waveform from wave table already has the harmonics that would come from the analog filter "built in". (Great video from Reverb as usual!)

Interesting how he says that in 2018 you are more likely to find wavetable synthesis in a software instrument rather than hardware.....fast forward to 2020-2022 and there's the Pro 3, HydraSynth, Iridium, Quantum, M, Summit, Peak, Modwave, and now Roland's N/Zyme expansion for the Fantom.

So as it morphs through the four stages of the wavetable, to my ear it sounds like it's basically just raising and lowering gain on the four waves that make up each stage. Is that accurate? That sounds more chunky and simple than I was expecting based on my vague non-understanding of what I've heard about WT synth before.
