'''Wavetable synthesis''' was first developed by [[Wolfgang Palm]] of [[Palm Products GmbH|PPG]] in the late 1970s <ref>[http://seib.synth.net/documents/w22omeng.pdf PPG Wave 2.2 owners manual]</ref><ref>[http://wolfgangpalm.com/ppg_blogs/c4/ Part 4 "Digital Age"] on Wolfgang Palm's blog</ref> and published in 1979,.<ref name="Andresen">''A New Way in Sound Synthesis'' by Uwe Andresen, Audio Engineering Society (AES), 62nd AES Convention (Brussels, Belgium), 1979</ref> and has since been used as the primary synthesis method in synthesizers built by PPG and [[Waldorf Music]] and as an auxiliary synthesis method by [[Sequential Circuits]], [[Ensoniq]], [[Korg]], [[Access Music]], [[Dave Smith Instruments]] and others.
 
==Wavetable synths==
Wavetable synthesis has been the primary synthesis method in synthesizers built by PPG and Waldorf Music, has been used for the [http://www.blacet.com/MW.html Blacet/Wiard Mini Wave], the Ensoniq ESQ1 and SQ-80, the Kawai K3, the Korg DW8000 and the Modulus 002. It has also been used in synths by Sequential Circuits, Access Music, Dave Smith Instruments and Yamaha.
 
== Principle ==
Line 27 ⟶ 30:
It is often necessary to 'audition' each position in a wavetable and to scan through it, forwards and backwards, in order to make good use of it, though selecting random wavetables, start positions, end positions and directions of scan can also produce satisfyingly musical results. Most wavetable synthesizers also employ other synthesis methods to further shape the output waveform, such as [[subtractive synthesis]] (filters), [[phase modulation]], [[frequency modulation]] and AM (ring) modulation.
