The PPG Wave 2.V is a reincarnation of a classic 1982 synthesizer, now resurrected by Waldorf, the leading makers of Wavetable synths. The software version has a number of advantages over its original counterpart: its outputs appear in the VST mixer, which means that it can be routed through effects and EQ's. MIDI tracks are sent directly to the PPG Wave 2.V, making cables and MIDI interface completely unnecessary. Being able to use up to 8 PPG Wave 2.Vs each with 8 Multi Modes opens up a myriad of creative possibilities.
The combination of modern high-specification software, the charm of the bygone "digital" era and the PPG Wave 2.V's huge creative potential produces a unique instrument which not only brings back the fun-factor in working with synthesizers, it also allows the creation of very individual and expressive sounds.
The Wave 2 series was the first digital wavetable synthesizer with analog filters, heralding a revolution in both sound and concept. The Wave's most interesting feature was its ability to sweep through 64 waveforms in what PPG called a wavetable.
Almost 2000 waveforms were available within the Wave's 32 internal wavetables. The result of this wavetable technology is that the PPG instrument has a much broader palette and more animated sound than typical analog synthesizers of the early 80's, which tended to have only a few static waveforms such as sawtooth, pulse, or triangle. The PPG sound was very unique and identifiable.
Now we bring this exclusive sound back to life with all the advantages a completely integrated software production environment such as Cubase VST has to offer: The outputs appear directly in the VST mixer, so effects and EQ can be applied like any other audio channel. MIDI tracks are routed directly to the input of the PPG Wave 2.V without involving the vagaries of MIDI cables and interfaces.
The polyphony now depends solely on the CPU power of your computer and opening up to 8 PPG Wave 2.Vs, each with 8 times multitimbral capability, gives you more than enough space for your sound imagination. A new graphical page offers easy editing of envelopes, generators and Cutoff/Emphasis.
The combination of modern software technology plus the charm and massive sound potential of the "old" digital days results in a unique instrument which brings back individuality and pure fun: The PPG Wave 2.V.
