Table-lookup synthesis [12] (or Wavetable-lookup synthesis [13]) is a class of sound synthesis methods using the waveform tables by table-lookup, called "table-lookup oscillator" technique. The length of waveforms or samples may be varied by each sound synthesis method, from a single-cycle up to several minutes.
PPG Wave 2.2 front panel. PPG's Wave series represents an evolution of its predecessor by combining its digital sound engine with analog VCAs and 24db per octave VCFs, featuring 8-voice polyphony; and by replacing its nontraditional series of push buttons and sliders with a control panel consisting of an LCD and a more familiar arrangement of knobs.
Wavetable may refer to: Wavetable synthesis , a sound synthesis technique used to create periodic waveforms often used in music synthesizers Sample-based synthesis , a form of audio synthesis using sampled sounds or instruments
In 1979, Wolfgang Palm introduced a new concept, dubbed "wavetable synthesis". Wavetable synthesis allowed for the storage of short samples of a larger soundwave into individual slots of a “wavetable” that was stored in the memory of the system. The first PPG synthesizer to implement wavetable synthesis was the Wave Computer 360.
Palm is arguably most famous for the development of products using wavetable synthesis, starting in the late 1970s when he created his Minimoog-like synthesizer - the 1020 - featuring digitally controlled oscillators instead of the voltage controlled oscillators that his 1002 synthesizer and all other analog synthesizers of that time were using ...
Waldorf Microwave II (1997-) Microwave: A rack-mounted wavetable synthesizer developed from the PPG Wave. [4] [5] It was produced in two hardware revisions: early models featured a backlit LCD, while later models used a lit character display.
The Yamaha YMF278 or YMF278B, also known as the OPL4 (OPL is an acronym for FM Operator Type-L), is a sound chip that incorporates both FM synthesis and sample-based synthesis (often incorrectly called "wavetable synthesis") by Yamaha.
The two primary synthesis concepts designed into the Wavestation were Wave Sequencing and vector synthesis, the latter Korg dubbed "Advanced Vector Synthesis".Although the Korg Wavestation was the first keyboard that used Wave Sequencing, its roots can be traced back to the preceding variations of wavetable-lookup synthesis, including the multiple-wavetable synthesizers [6] realized as PPG ...
