The 168 waveforms available in the WhySynth 20051231 release range from pure sinus forms, to analog and digital synth colors, to timbres based on real instruments. Most of the available waveforms are intended for use in some combination of additive and subtractive synthesis, as with the 'wavecycle' and 'async granular' oscillator modes. Many of these also work well with the 'FM' modes, and passibly with the 'waveshaper' mode, but the wavetables also contain waveforms specifically intended for FM and waveshaping. Additionally, since the WhySynth LFOs use these wavetables as well, there are a number of non-band-limited waveform specifically intended for use with the LFOs.
