"vintage synth demo by RetroSound
PPG Wave 2.2 Wavetable Synthesizer from the year 1982.
part1: some typical classic Wave 2.2 sounds
part2: the different functions (coming soon)
The PPG Wave 2.2 is the direct successor of the Wave 2 but with 2 oscillators. He is one of the greatest synths ever. A real classic! Only 500 Wave 2.2 were manufactured.
The sound character is different to the later Waldorf Microwave synths and a little bit different to the Wave 2.3. The nice SSM 2044 filter make the sounds so warm and incredible.

- analog 24 dB/oct lowpass SSM 2044 VCF
