Because they are still multisampled instruments. They sampled the original
wave at different frequencies to get a more accurate representation. This
wouldn't be necessary if the waves were single cycle, but they aren't. If
you open any of the samples, you will see many cycles in each. That's why
multisampling across the board is necessary. Single cycle patches would
sound like the boards they are modeled after (such as the JP Supersaw)
unless the sampler itself had the same oscillator and mod architecture as
the modeled patch (which of course is not the case). If it was a single
cycle, it could be one sample mapped across the board, treated as a synth.
But in this case, it would sound much, much different. Perhaps good, but not
what it was modeled after.
