I am looking for good smooth waves, like something that would sound like a piano, electric piano, violin, etc.

It is impossible to "sound like a piano/violin/etc" with only a 64steps/6bits-depth WaveTable.

If you want to make chiptunes that can approach more to a piano sound, you should try FM Synthesis.

Well, this isn't quite true, is it? Isn't it possible, with a large amount of effort, to transcribe, say, the attack portion of the waveform of a piano sound into one FDS instrument, and then pick it up in the next frame with another FDS instrument that has the next part of the waveform transcribed?

Maybe it wouldn't work so well for different pitches, though.... Or, maybe it wouldn't work out at all. But I know that people have done cool things like manually encoding speech synthesis into the FDS via waveform transcription.

That is technically possible, but then you are talking about multiple waves for a single sound. Could this be added on future versions of FT?, a FDS instrument that is actually the union between 2/3/4/etc FDS memory spaces. :D

That's starting to sound a lot like N106/163...

You can't actually change the waveform smoothly for the FDS. The channel needs to be halted while you change the wave, so there will always be a rough pop in the transition.

I tried this and it didn't work out too well.

There's only so much you can do with the wavetable.

You can just make a bunch of waveforms and write the music at like 900 BPM or something for a good piano sound.

Sounds a lot like LSDJ's wave channel. Pops and all.

Your best bet would be on VRC7, IMO. Patch #2 is a good start for elec piano.
