Considerations for Wavetable Lookup

Indeces to $ x(n)$ are constrained to be integers between 0 and $ N-1$.

If signal $ y(n)$ is used to index wavetable $ x(n)$, its values must be

Audio signals in Pd aren't integers and don't usually (shouldn't) exceed an amplitude of 1.

Additional processing must be done to signal $ y(n)$ to make it usable for wavetable lookup.
