That's not what a wavetable is, by any definition relevant to synthesis.

Of course the VS has waveforms stored consecutively in ROM, with 32 more stored in NVRAM. That's just data. In wavetable synthesis, an entire table of consecutive waveforms is loaded into an oscillator. In vector synthesis, 4 individual and arbitrary waveforms are loaded into an oscillator.

I think of a wavetable as a system with multiple short, periodic waveforms, where you can interpolate between them. On the PPG, you get something like 32 waveforms, and interpolte between consecutive ones. On the Prophet VS, you get 4, and you interpolate between all 4 at the same time.

It sounds like you use a different definition, which is fine. I don't think we're going to learn anything by litigating this kind of disagreement.
