so how are the wavetable waveforms made. was it just programmers coming up with nice patterns or was it trying to recreate specific sounds.
The wavetable waveforms are stored in ROM. However, judging by the what you can do with them, their implementation must be more complex than that of the standard rompler.

Each table is a collection of waves which sound interesting when they are swept. Some sound really good with LFO (cyclic) modulation, whilst others are better suited to modulation via an envelope (many sound just as good either way of course). They also represent a very large library of static waves, should you wish to use them like this.
