Wavetable Techniques

  • It seems to me that one of the coolest and most unique sounding features of the Virus are all the wavetable oscillators, especially with the complex formant and granular types. I do not have much experience using wavetable synths, and I often find it difficult to combine the wave osc's with other ocs' (traditional saw/square/sine or other wavetables). I would really like to learn some advanced techniques utilizing these waveforms. This seems like a great way to get some nasty, super-digital timbres out of the Virus.


    Does anyone have any advice, tips or techniques for using the wavetable/granular/formant osc's? Perhaps using F-Shift, FM, F-Spread, etc? Modulation ideas?
