What is wavetable synthesis and why does it sound like it is moving?. Visually show a wavetable morphing from one shape to another, then match each stage to a quick audio example so viewers can hear the 'motion.' Close by relating it to familiar modern sounds (glassy leads, evolving pads) and one simple tip to try in any synth.

Wavetable synthesis is a digital technique that stores a series of single-cycle waveforms in a table, enabling the creation of dynamic, evolving sounds. As the oscillator scans smoothly from one waveform to the next, each stage produces a unique audio example, making the sound seem to move like frames in a stop motion film. The result is familiar modern sounds such as glassy leads and evolving pads, and a simple tip is to modulate the wavetable position with an LFO for added motion.
