Organizing Your Wavetables

If you use several wavetable synthesizers, consider storing your custom wavetables in a single folder on your computer instead of copying them into each plugin's directory.

Synths such as Phase Plant, Pigments and Vital can all read from the same folder, making it easier to organize, update and back up your wavetable collection.
