PPG WAVE 2 (NOT 2.2 or 2.3!) digital-analog hybrid synthesizer vs Darth Digital
Published on Nov 16, 2015 NoiselabCH
"Here comes the first PPG WAVE on the market, the PPG Wave 2.
A fantastic digital-analog hybrid using wavetable synthesis for the OSC section and analog filters, envelopes and amps.
Only 8-OSCs instead of 16 in the 2.2 and 2.3. 8bit in the Wave 2 and 2.2, 12bit in the 2.3. 8-track sequencer onboard along with a arpegator. CEM 3320 VCFs for the 2 against SSM 2044 in the later ones.
This unit however has 2 issues:
- 2 faulty VCA's (I guess)
- a horrible keyboard nearly unplayable
This unit has no retrofit, so I'm using an arpeggio and mostly long release times to hide the distorted VCAs or try to use it as an effect.
So no deep exploring here - but this lovely synthesizer has something hypnotic and sounds rarely especially digital, more than that it's warm and organic.
Be the waveforce with you..."
