tion of one or more Waves. The playback sequence of
the Waves can be dynamically altered, which results in
interesting sound transformations. If the Waves in the
Wavetable are similar in shape, the result will sound
smooth and pleasant. If, however, the shapes are com-
pletely different, the result will have wild spectral chan-
ges and may sound harsh.
