This post will explain Wavetable\u2019s functionality by examining its oscillators and modulation in detail, then put what we\u2019ve learned into practice by taking the reader through the creation of a beginner-to-intermediate-level patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigation\/Orientation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s make sure we understand how to get around Wavetable\u2019s interface. Wavetable\u2019s GUI packs a ton of functionality into the <strong>Device View<\/strong>, which may make it intimidating for producers who aren\u2019t already well acquainted with wavetable synthesis. Wavetable\u2019s compressed interface displays the synth\u2019s oscillators on the left, modulators on the right, and a filter in the middle &#8211; more on each of these later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"304\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796.png\" alt=\"ableton-wavetable-05\" class=\"wp-image-4737 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796.png 1280w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796-355x84.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796-400x95.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796-768x182.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796-1024x243.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_5-e1523458074796-1200x285.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/304;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Wavetable\u2019s normal view &#8211; I\u2019ll refer to this as \u201ccompressed\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling claustrophobic?

Rest assured that Ableton have done an excellent job including plenty of options for casual synthesists to model everything from instruments and vintage synths to noise and cool shapes. There are too many categories and waveforms to go into detail on each one, so make sure you take some time to poke around through the menus and explore the waveforms offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1273\" height=\"454\" data-src=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675.png\" alt=\"ableton-wavetable-02\" class=\"wp-image-4744 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675.png 1273w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675-355x127.png 355w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675-400x143.png 400w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675-768x274.png 768w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675-1024x365.png 1024w, https:\/\/splice.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Ableton-Wavetable_In-Post_2-e1523458548675-1200x428.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1273px) 100vw, 1273px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1273px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1273\/454;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>One of my favorite stock wavetables: a Juno 106 stacked square emulation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you\u2019re at it, don\u2019t overlook one of the coolest visualization options of any wavetable synth I\u2019ve seen.
