I like the Wavetable. But how do work with it. Does it normally go into a filter. How do envelopes work with it? Or is it pretty much standalone?

Think of it as just another oscillator except it can produce much more complex waveforms than your basic square, triangle, etc. The fun part is being able to sweep through those waveforms with modulation.

I do not have it, yet, but I feel like it can be describe as a more complex oscillator indeed.
With the CV inputs you can use some LFO or other modulation source to modulate the sound as you wish. i don't see why it coul'ndt go with filter or envelopes. I'd see the Wavetable as a big juicy oscillator and play with it as I would with a VCO or the 2OSC.
That being said, I guess there is plenty of amazing and fun ways to use it.  |

Like a VCO...
Wavetable -> VCF -> VCA
ENV -> VCF & VCA
LFO or SEQ or what-you-want CV-> Wavetable CV inputs

Wavetable synthesis gets its main mojo from scanning the wavetable(s) via modulation signals. Tinker with the "WAVE MOD" stuff on it with envelopes, LFOs, and the like. Hell, try modulating it at audio rates, even. That's where the magic lies, in getting those strange timbral shifts that act almost like some sort of sequencing...that amazing early-1980s PPG sound.

Yep. I like the video for it. Was also tempted by Algodrone but don't know whether the 8bit output going to be too harsh for mixes, though some of the sounds are really cool too. |

Here's the Dove Audio Eurorack version of the WAVETABLES module. With her integrated oscilloscope, you see exactly what's going on and how this kind of oscillator works:

Hey, if 8 bits wasn't too gritty for Thomas Dolby (that was the bit depth of the early PPGs, like the 340/380 he got from TD that's all over "The Golden Age of Wireless")...it just takes a little bit of different EQ, depending on whether you want the HF aliasing or not. Just a tiny touch is enough... |
