Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - I Almost Missed the Synth of the Decade
video upload by JimDaneker
"I thought the 3rd Wave was a mere PPG clone so I ignored it. After seeing a few compelling videos on it, I took a chance on one. After pre-judging it based on presets, I almost returned it. SO glad I gave it another chance - it has blown me away. Don't miss this one!
