Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave
Synthesizer, which no doubt is considered one of the most respected
high-end synthesizers of the 80s. Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this
instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole
generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was
your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the new
PPG Wave 3.V renders this breathtaking sonic character very affordable,
comfortably to use for every VST or AU Host.
PPG Wave 2 was the very first digital Wavetable synthesizer with analog
filters that allowed completely new worlds of sound and endless sonic
possibilities. Shortly afterwards, the successor PPG Wave 2.2 came out and
was born to make history. With a gigantic arsenal of waveshapes, it could
not only reproduce known analog sounds, but also brilliant choirs, bells
and whistles. The digital sounds of wavetables had been unheard until then
and offered sensational sonic evolutions by smoothly going through 64 waves
back and forth. But the technical possibilities also produced harsh
artifacts such as aliasing and others, which could not be omitted back
then. Today, although technology is some steps further, Waldorf engineers
even managed to get the harshness back in order to recreate the character
of the beast. Wolfgang Palm, the inventor of Wavetable Synthesis, assisted
during the development process in order to recreate the PPG as close as
possible. "We are very thankful for Wolfgang's very informative advice and
insight during development." Says Waldorf CEO Stefan Stenzel.
