PPG WAVE 2 SYNTHESIZER

via this auction

"A German PPG Wave 2 synthesizer.

An amazing sounding analog/digital hybrid vintage synth.

A classic and warm sound.

Generate over 2,000 different waveforms. [anyone confirm this for the original Wave 2?]

Loads of knobs. LCD screen.

Sequencer will Record any filtering and wave changes in real-time.

The PPG wave has been used on thousands of hit records for nearly three decades. Everyone has used one. David Bowie, Trevor Horn, Stevie Wonder, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson...you name it. This is it."

Update via Achim:
"The original Wave2 has 32 wavetables plus the upper wavetable. If you
count the interpolated waves (only every fourth slot has an actual
wave), then yes it's "over two thousand". The number of distinct ROM
waves is "only" around 300."
