A quick run through Hive's new wavetable interpolation modes. Taking the example of the 4th harmonic of any given wavetable, it shows what happens in the transition between wavetable frames. It also shows the tradeoff between quality and CPU. Note that the "zero phase" mode does not show any transition in this case, which is the expected behaviour.

Regarding CPU in Hive: The interpolators do not multiply CPU with oscillator unison. So if you have 8x unison, there's only a neglectable increase in CPU when using "spectral".
