Best Wavetable Synth VST Plugins in 2022

What is a Wavetable?

A wavetable is a group of sampled sound waves. In other words, it’s a collection of various single cycle waveforms. The most basic waveforms are sine, saw, square & triangle. Wavetable synthesis is one of the many types of synthesis at which a single cycle waveform can be randomly chosen out of a collection of wave shapes. The interpolation between different wave shapes is what creates the sound of wavetable synthesis. This interesting technology is severely used in the modern-day music production process. There are a bunch of wavetable synths available and shortlisting a large number of options we have collected the best wavetable synth plugins in 2022 for music producers.
