What actually generates the wavetables?

[oli@bass]

Hi Timo, thank you for sharing your very interesting observations.

I tried to find some relating information on the Virus Forum, but couldn't find anything (which doesn't necessarily mean it's not there...).

Judging from your descriptions, I'd say they use exactly that: Most probably three different types of methods to store and generate the wavetables. I guess the main categories are PCM samples, mathematically connected dots and pure mathematical functions. This is similar to what you find in the Waldorf / PPG synths.

The interesting question is how complex the math functions can be in general and whether it would be possible to use curves instead of lines to connect dots with future processors.
