Wavetable frame size calculator.

Wavetable math, straight arithmetic: choose a documented target layout — Serum's 2,048 × 256, Vital's 2,048-sample frames, the Novation Peak's 5 × 512 user slot — or type your own samples-per-frame and frame count. The calculator totals the samples, the float32 mono byte count, the on-disk WAV size with its 44-byte RIFF header, and how long one frame plays at 44.1 kHz versus 48 kHz. Frame length is fixed in samples, so a table designed for 48 kHz playback plays about a semitone and a half flat at 44.1 kHz — the duration column makes that difference visible.
