Wavetable frame size

Wavetable frame size is the number of samples in each single-cycle frame, held constant across the whole table.

Common sizes are powers of two (256, 512, 1024, 2048), which work efficiently with table lookup and FFT processing. Larger frames can represent more partials but use more memory. Importers slice packed WAVs by frame size, so the size must match the target instrument's expectation.
