Wavetable is a versatile synthesizer in Live. It's easy to use and can produce a variety of different sounds.
In this video, let's get a quick overview of the device.
Wavetable's interface is divided into three main sections:
the oscillators, each with their own tab,
a Filter section that contains two multimode filters, and on the far-right there is a section with four tabs.
The first section is Mod Sources which contains Wavetable's five modulation sources.
Next is the Matrix tab that allows you to apply modulation to Wavetable's parameters.
There is the MIDI tab that allows you to apply modulation from MIDI sources,
and finally the MPE tab that allows you to apply modulation from MPE sources.
On the far left we have a sub oscillator with its own parameters for gain and tone control as well as an octave selector.
You can select the Wavetables using the choosers.
The first chooser is the category of Wavetables.
The second chooser allows you to select the specific Wavetables within that category.
You can adjust the overall output of each Wavetable oscillator using the Gain slider.
Below the Gain slider there is a chooser for three oscillator effects: FM, Classic and Modern.
There's also control for coarse and fine tuning of each Wavetable oscillator
by using the Semi and Detune controls.
I can toggle the Wavetable visualization switch between Linear and Polar,
and I can use the Wavetable Position slider to change the position of the Wavetable's oscillators.
Each oscillator can be switched on and off independently of one another.
The two filters in the Filter section are multimode filters and have five different filter types.
The filters can work in Series, Parallel or Split modes.
The Mod Sources tab contains five different modulation sources that you can use in Wavetable, three envelopes and two LFOs.
The adjacent tab is the Modulation Matrix tab.
In the Matrix tab you can apply Wavetable's modulation sources to the parameters of Wavetable.
In the MIDI Modulation tab, you can use MIDI modulation sources
such as Aftertouch or Velocity to modulate parameters in Wavetable.
Similarly, in the MPE Modulation tab, you can use MPE sources to modulate Wavetable's parameters.
On the far right are switchable Monophonic and Polyphonic modes.
In the Polyphonic mode you can use the drop-down chooser to select a maximum number of notes that Wavetable can use simultaneously.
The Monophonic mode features a Glide setting.
Below that are selectable Unison modes.
The Voices slider allows you to select the number of voices running simultaneously in the Unison mode
and the Amount slider adjusts the intensity of the Unison mode.
On the left side of the Wavetable device itself, there's a toggle switch that allows you to expand the view of Wavetable.
