is there a difference? whats the difference? i know the XTk is based on wavetable technology, but how does that differ from modeling?

sort of... on the XT, if you only send it 2 waves for example (maybe a square in wave 0, and a sawtooth in wave 60), it will 'automatically' create the intervening waves by interpolation. i'm not sure at what point this is done, if it's realtime or done when the wavetable is generated (i haven't done it yet, sound diver just doesn't like my computer it seems)...

but once the waves are there, there is no interpolation, true. having more waves (or making the difference between waves small) will have a similar effect though, i would think.

Looking around, what I was on about is called,
Analyse-Resynthesis, but still there's not alot of info about it.

If you're looking for smooth, the XT really isn't your bag. It can do it, but getting there can be a little work. It wants to be nasty. Bad girl XT!

Anyhow, considering the limititations of the 64 wavetables. I've yet to run out of sounds from the XT, but should you want more, you can create your OWN waves, and import them. Not sure EXACTLY how that's done, but it can me.

Regarding the Fizmo. I think xoxos once had one. They were plagued by serious build quality issues. It took 2 or 3 complete keyboards to piece together one that actually worked the way it was supposed to. And if memory serves, the company that produced them has gone under. Waldorf is still going strong, so I'd lean in that direction.

Thanks for the discussion, I know how my XT sounds, but I never really considered how it got there. :-)

fizmo.. some nice (odd) features and sounds, vocoder, external fx, but (besides the build issues) underpowered, ie. you won't be fming with these oscs.

Someone said that the XT interpolates between any 2 waves. (that would mean the microwave II also, correct?)

Wouldn't interpolation result in smoother sound than a wavetable synth without interpolation (wavestation)? Perhaps you can turn interpolation on and off?
