With a 256-frame wavetable, the spectral content is limited to
128 harmonics. At a fundamental frequency of 50 Hz (the low G on
a bass), the spectrum stops at 6.4 kHz.

Whether or not this is a big deal is up to you. When I tried
Paul's Miniwave (256-frame wavetable), I remember wondering "why
won't the LPF open fully?" and Paul telling me "but the filter
_is_ fully open". I've not heard anybody else mention this so
maybe it's just me.
