From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   wavetable
  
      A type of {sound generator} often built in a
      {sound card}.   A wavetable contains digitised samples of real
      instrument sounds or effect (FX) sounds.   A wavetable chip
      often also contains a drum kit sound to faciliate rhythm
      accompaniment.
  
      A recorded wavetable sound may be edited and enhanced by
      various effects (reverb, chorus) and layered with other
      waveforms before writing it to {ROM} or {RAM}.   The latter
      type serves as user sound memory.
  
      A wavetable generator is typically controlled by {MIDI} input.
      When a MIDI note-on signal is detected, the output part of a
      wavetable generator generates a sound with definitive pitch,
      typically a musical note.
  
      Wavetable sounds are used in games and music.   The more
      realistic wavetable sounds have all but replaced the earlier
      synthetic FM (frequency modulation) sound generation in sound
      cards but to ensure compatibility with older games etc., an FM
      part is usually included.
  
      The best known wavetable sound generators includes the {E-mu
      8000} chip, used in {Creative Labs}' {Sound Blaster} AWE-32
      card family and in E-mu keyboards.   Other wavetable cards are
      Gravis Ultra-Sound (GUS), ESS Cards, Opti, Zoltrix and many
      Roland cards.
