(help))Multiple wavetable synthesis, the subject of this paper, is based on a sum of fixed waveforms or periodic basis functions with time-varying weights.
The K1/J1m allows you to combine up to four different Sources, each with its own frequency, waveform, and envelope. / ... A Single patch on the K1/J1m consists of up to four Sources drawn from the 52 PCM waveforms and 204 VM waveforms available — a total of 256 — with a separate frequency and envelope for each.
