"Imagine a monophonic, MIDI controllable, 19" rack mountable PPG blue wavetable synthesizer minus the wavetable scanning, plus a user selectable De-Rez, with a classic MoogÂȘ filterladder and real analogue knobs.... well just image, explore it with the Monowave(X).

The Monowave was the brainchild of UK electronics designer, Paul Maddox [Vaco Loco] who wanted to build a synth the roots of which lay in the PPG.

Originally intended as a monophonic bass synth, the Monowave has uses beyond that.

The Monowave is a wavetable synthesizer with 256 waves available for each of the two oscillators. Each oscillator also has a sub-oscillator. The filter is a copy of the Moog filter, there are separate envelope generators for the filter and amplifier, and a simple LFO. The panel is very 'retro' and 'traditional' with knobs for every function and a simple display.

Internally, the circuitry is all analogue (except for the digital circuitry used in the oscillators)... no wimpy DSP thank you very much - this is a 'real' synth!!
