How do wavetables work......

.... ie. how did Access source/record the waves and then integrate them into the wavetables?

I mean, if they recorded a single-cycle waveform, did they have to multisample it to avoid aliasing, etc?

..Or do they convert the waveform into a complex mathematical "vector" or "bezier" type waveform, so they can stretch it or contract it as necessary without loss of quality (similarly how true-type fonts work as opposed to the bitmap fonts of old, in a different application).

Also, do Access intend to provide the facility to edit and upload our own waves to the wavetables?
