  Technology

  Transitional synthesis is a term used by Paul Wiffen to describe wavetable synthesis and vector synthesis/wave sequencing.

  Wavetable Synthesis

  Wavetable synthesis is the technique of building complex sounds using a large variety of periodic waveforms.

  Vector Synthesis/Wave Sequencing

  Vector synthesis/wave sequencing is the technique of crossfading between multiple audio sources.  Vector synthesizers have joysticks which allow users to control this crossfading in realtime.
