"Wave 2.3 (1984-1987) - 16 oscillators (two per voice), 12-bit resolution, dual modulation wheels, SSM 2044 VCFs, 8-part multimbrality.

The PPG Wave could be connected to multiple peripheral PPG components simultaneously, such as a 'smart' keyboard controller (PRK), 8-voice expansion units (EVU), and a sampling/editing/sequencing wave computer (Waveterm). Collectively, this setup was referred to as the "PPG Wave System", which was intended to compete with the Fairlight CMI..."

Note the following video although linked in the auction is not the one listed. This is just a demo of the PPG Wave 2.3 from thePPGs.com.

"Showing the first video to be featured on thePPGs.com.

The PPG Wave 2.3 is one of the most fantastic synthesizers ever made - period.
Its sound is out of this world and to me there is no synth more delicate and at the same time raw and unique.

The video features the PPG Wave 2.3 and at the end of the video you'll hear my old and trustworthy Hammond AutoVari-64 as well as I try - and fail - to play in time with it.
The audio from the PPG Wave 2.3 and Hammond AutoVari-64 has been recorded to disk and inserted in the video for the best possible audio.

Have fun listening to the wavetable fun !!
