Thank you !
It works well with your samples (waveforms) but I had to resize my array to 515 to make it work. I found the explanation in the tabsosc4~ help patch :

"The table should have a power of two points plus three "guard points", one at the beginning and two at the end, which should be wraparound copies of the last point and the first two points, respectively."

These kinds of start/stop bits are necessary.
In this case 515 points = 1 guard point + 2^9 points (512 points waveform) + 2 guard points.
I just wonder why these "guard points" are not 'generated' internally by the tabosc4~object.

Another question: Michal, in your samples the triangle and square are between 0 and 1. To use them as sound oscillators (like osc~), i think it would be better to get a signal between -1 and 1, ie for a triangle waveform, something like 0  1  0 -1  0 . Am i right ?
