Behringer gets into wavetables and reveals their PPG Wave prototype
An interesting development
Comments
Pretty cool. Could of did without the keyboard but that’s a minor quibble. Hopefully it retains the grittiness of the original.
I'd love to hear it. Hopefully there will be an audio demo first.
I'd love to touch it. The original Wave 2.3 had great build quality which was part of the experience.
Truth.
Anybody received theirs yet, mine has just been dispatched from Thomann.
A nice, but ‘cryptic’ run through of the Wave.
The Wave has arrived, an excellent recreation of the original with extras, although it has some bugs too, which should be fixable with a firmware update, most critical one is if you save a patch when the sequencer is running it freezes the machine.
For anyone wanting ethereal drones this is a beauty. Hopefully they’ll release a desktop version too.
Thank you for the confirmation!
PPG Wave has always been a dream synth of mine 🙏
Same for myself, now a reality that’s affordable as hardware.
I have the PPG wave 2.2, but I bought the B wave. The PPG wave 2.2 would need serious repair, new bushings for the keyboard (or a new keybed entirely) to be used. And a MIDI expansion. It is still working for an hour or so, and its sound is unparalleled.
The B wave is good for workhorse tasks. It is new, stable, has an acceptable keyboard with 4 octaves (2.2 has 5) and cheap plastic wheels, USB instead of cassette, DIN Sync, and proprietary PPG interfaces, and even 8 separate outputs for each voice. Its sound is good, in some cases identical to the 2.2. In other cases not quite perfect, but still good. Its VCA envelope is linear, the 2.2 envelope is exponential (may be changed in a firmware update, but we don’t know. Maybe not).
I’m very happy with the B wave. It also serves - via USB - as a MIDI controller for softsynths that have a similar traditional architecture. It is really nice to grab the attack knob of a hardware synth and control the attack of a softsynth. This can be done by other means, but these have a different layout, or are touch based (Lemur, TouchOSC, etc.). Playing the GForce OB-X with the B wave keyboard and knobs is a joy. It invites to make small changes on the fly, automation in the DAW. Something one wouldn’t do normally, or only rarely.
Needless to add that the editor allows organisation and loading of wavetables. In the 80’s one would have had to buy a Waveterm workstation.
Congratulations @Phil999 the B-Wave I believe was modelled on version 2.3 I don’t know the exact differences, but yes the ability to have linear or exponential envelopes would be great, perhaps an option for free running or re trigger of the LFO would be nice and patch names on the waveform oled would help too, hopefully they will implement these along with bug fixes too, but overall it’s a fantastic synth.
i like mine as well 🥰
@Crabman congratulations too, a beautiful synth recreation it is, have fun.
Thanks 🖖
