About these wavetables
A lead needs presence in the 1–5 kHz range and a timbre that does not disappear behind chords. These tables have strong upper harmonics and a clear pitch. In Serum or Vital, add 3–5 unison voices with light detune for width, a short glide for legato lines, and an LFO or the mod wheel on the wavetable position for expression. If a table is too sharp, a low-pass filter with some envelope keeps the attack bright and the sustain softer.
