Wavetable synthesis is periodic reproduction of a single-cycle [[waveform]].<ref>''[
Both variable and (more commonly) fixed sample rate systems are used<ref>''Practical Considerations in the Design of Music Systems using VLSI'' by J. William Mauchly, Albert J. Charpentier, Audio Engineering Society (AES), AES 5th International Conference: Music and Digital Technology, 1987</ref> and the wave modulation rate is usually significantly smaller (slower) than the [[sample rate]]. Depending on the details of the actual implementation, the sound produced by wavetable synthesis may also contain recognizable artifacts, especially [[aliasing]], [[quantization error]]s, and [[phase truncation]] noise.
