Seems like it would have some influence... but being able to resynthesis audio is likely more influence. I basically never go into the actual editor in Icarus.
What Hive has is the Uhm scripts (a unique in the practical sense and freshly conceived function)... the ability to import Wavetables... plus with Zebra you can draw and export Zebra wavetables for Hive.
That seems like enough to me for the actual wavetable.
