How to Create a Basic PPG-style Sound With the 3rd Wave


video upload by Groove Synthesis

"Learn how Groove Synthesis' sound designer Kurt Kurasaki quickly creates a beautiful and lush PPG-style pad sound from scratch using some of the basic concepts and features of the 3rd Wave.

Coming to you from Superbooth 2024, Kurt starts from a clean slate by initializing a preset to reset the settings of the synth. He then works with a single oscillator choosing one of the classic PPG type wavetables included with the 3rd Wave. Using the amplifier and wave envelopes, he adds movement to the sound. But the true magic to creating the iconic PPG sound lies in copying the settings of one oscillator to the other two and slightly detuning the oscillator to each other. Utilizing the 3rd Wave's multitimbral capabilities, Kurt then creates a stack of sounds that he can spread out into the stereo field by panning and detuning them ever so slightly. Within a matter of seconds, he ends up with a beautiful, shimmering, and lush PPG-style patch."
