Let's go ahead into the drop down menu here and we can see that we have a bunch of different categories for wave our tables. First of all, we have basic which are essentially just different layouts of the basic waves, so we got Square-Saw, Sign-Square, Sign-Triangle as we discussed. Then we've got Poly-Saw, which is a series of detuned saw tooth waves. Let's take a listen. (saw tooth wave notes) That's got kind of a nice thing. It's the sound that you may have come up with on a monophonic synthesizer that has a couple of different oscillators that you can tune apart. Let's listen to what happens as we move through the wave table. (notes playing) So this is a really interesting sounding wave table and there a lot of different ways to use these. Don't feel like you have to go crazy with the modulation. You can also just take something, find a sound…
