What are tables?


#1

What are the tables? I know it can seem like a trivial question, but apart from the classic blocks with which you can create synths, axoloti has many functions that do not understand. There is a list with a little description for the modules?

tables are 'arrays', so a collection of data...
i.e. table 8b size 2, has two data elements of 8 bit, bipolar data (i.e. -127 to 127)
you can read and write to them using an index...

why are they useful, well, the data is 'arbitrary' ie. we can use if for whatever we like,
so one example might be to store a waveform.

if you click on help, then there are examples of how to use.

they exist in most visual programming languages (e.g. Reaktor/Max) and are perhaps a little more complex concept, if you have not done any programming before, and tend to be for more advanced uses as they are lower level.

I understand tables better now after working with it for a few days. Have found alot of potential in them, but I am sure I am still missing out on a lot. It probably has many uses.
I checked the help files, but to be honest more clear tutorials, which is aimed at people who do not know anything about programming would be nice.

But again I guess it is part of the trip when you buy a modular synth: you have to get familiar with a lot of new terms. I learned so much about math during the last week and it is pretty nice smile Sooo many times I was close to making a new thread in here, but resisted and did a google search instead and found out. Some things I guess we have to ask in here, since only people here know about it. But yeah I learned more about tables from reading in here, but would love to see a tutorial on different examples of use.

Urbanspaceman: Also look at the Wavetable synth example. That one is pretty nice wink

Thanks To all, i'm a web developer and i understand the array blush !
Now i'm away from my axo, but i will look better on the table.
