    This object generates a wavetable with the PadSynth algorithm describe here:

    This algorithm generates some large wavetables that can be played at
    different speeds to get the desired sound. This algorithm describes
    only how these wavetables are generated. The result is a perfectly
    looped wavetable.

    To get the desired pitch from the table, the playback speed must be

    pitches from a single wavetable.

            order. Defaults to 1.

            The bandwidth of the first harmonic in cents. The bandwidth allows

            The amplitude damping factor specifies how much the amplitude
            of the harmonic decrease according to its order. It uses a
