File One of the big reasons for the larger wavetable support to help playback at lower octaves. I just tested 2048 against 256, & find in general the 2048 has more clarity in the higher Hz audio range, even at lower octaves. This helps the sine sound smoother & more clear! But give the "digital" square (just +1 & -1 values), are worse to me in lower octaves; it has a high pitched digital whine in the background. The 256 wavetable seems to have the whine filtered out. The Wave Display shows the square to be perfect (all +1 -1) while the 2048 output seems to anti-aliasing applied (while sounding worse).

Should I just filter out past the fundamental, or crossfade in the 256 wavetable at lower octaves? Or is there something wrong with the new Wave Table Read?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
