01 WAVETABLES AS MULTI-SAMPLES
The ability of advanced samplers to load and work with wavetables presents new options for working with multisamples too. Let’s say you want to sample the pulse wave oscillator of a classic synth. With a traditional sampling workflow you may choose to create multiple sample layers, one for each pulse width that you sample, and crossfade between these to mimic pulse width modulation. The same source samples combined into a wavetable are both easier to manage within the sampler, and result in a smoother, more convincing emulation of the original synth.
