Wavetable

My first impression was "another Vital"? It turns out, yes. More and/or less.

The comparison is unavoidable because they, as well as Serum, are spectral warping wavetable synths with morphable waveforms in 3D..

Vital is more refined - with clearer and easier modulation implementation, more effects and rudimentary sample playback.

Wavetable has more wavetables than the free version of Vital. While I was able to figure out most of the modulation matrix, it feels a bit awkward. But it generally works well.

However I did have an issue with the LFOs. I was unable to find a way to get them to NOT retrigger at the beginning of each note. I would have liked to be able to introduce a bit of randomness to some of my patches using slow LFO settings. But because they retrigger at the beginning of their cycles at the onset of each note, they end up only working like an envelope.

Another annoying glitch happens when I reaload a session, the patch name is incorrect, though the patch sound is correct.

All this being said, as a first release this is an excellent sounding and very usable synth. It seems to be very stable, never crashing during the few hours I tinkered with it. Despite its limitations I will be using it in some of my productions.

I encourage the developer, Socalabs, to keep building on this really solid foundation.
