"The legenday PPG Wave 2.3 is a hybrid digital-analog synthesizer from the mid-1980s known for its distinctive wavetable sound. Combines digitally generated waveforms with analog filters, giving it a unique blend of crisp digital timbres and warm analog character.

The 2.3 model expanded memory and multitimbrality, making it far more flexible than earlier versions. Its evolving, glassy textures helped define many classic electronic and film scores of the era!

This PPG Wave 2.3 is in very clean condition and has been pro maintained its entire life. Feel free to reach out of you have any questions about this gorgeous specimen.

Service notes:

-Firmware v8.2 (fixes bugs in the original OS, allows for sysex dumps and transfers wave files to the PPG from the Wavesim plugin)
-Replaced electrolytic capacitors and serviced power supply
-Remounted memory battery
-Cleaned all edge connectors and sockets to motherboard
-Serviced keybed and cleaned key contacts
-Cleaned internally
-Tested sysex transfer, loaded sound via sysex and saved"

Extended Analog Synthesizer

video upload by WPalmWT

"This project is based on an analog synth simulation. Everything I'm demonstrating here can (theoretically) also be done with a classic subtractive synth.
If you are interested in the basics of this project, please watch this video: The Moog Synthesizer revisited [posted here] I started this a while ago and now picked it up again. In this version of the synth I extended the possibilities and demonstrate some sounds."

PPG Waveterm B - powers on but n/tested SN 0157

"PPG - Waveterm B (s/n 0157). In good condition (very good apart from some rust on the black keyboard 'shelf'). It powers up and screen shows “PPG Wave-Term B”, but not tested further as no system disk. It might be unlikely for the disk drives still to be functional - but they can be serviced, we think, if needed. VEMIA can collect and pack: 30GBP."

PPG Wave 2.3 v8

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Reverb listing

"An absolute legend. Super rare PPG Wave 2.3 with v8 software. This PPG has been completely serviced, bushings replaced, all caps replaced, old lcd replaced with a Noritake VFD (no more output whine), and the OS upgraded to v8. I have a copy of the PPG manual as well and it is available online.

The v8 software fixes the bugs of the original, allows for sysex dumps, and even allows dumping wave files to the PPG from the Wavesim plugin. Due to age and fragility, unit is local pickup only and as is. Being local pickup, you of course will be able to go through it and verify all is functioning."

PPG Synthesizer 1020 with Servicing

Note: links to listings are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this Vemia listing

Click the auction link on top when you get there for additional listings.

"This ultra-rare early PPG monosynth's overall condition is very good, and it is great-sounding. But there is one problem: VCO 2 is quiet via the internal mixer, however the input to the Ring Mod is working perfectly. This makes me think it’s something relatively simple in the mixer rather than an issue with the oscillator…. fingers crossed! VEMIA will collect after the auction and service it fully at the seller's expense. All you need to know about it (and more) is here…
It is of course labelled Palm Products Germany - hence PPG. VEMIA will collect for servicing, and then pack: 30GBP."

"PPG - PRK (Processor keyboard) (s/n 01037) In very good cosmetic condition. 72 wooden keys. Untested, powered it up but it does not light up - though not sure what it is supposed to do without the PPG Wave/Waveterm attached. So please assume not working. 110V/240V switchable on back.

Synths That Tanked! Top 15 Value Crashes You Won’t Believe!?

video upload by Andy Whitmore

You be the judge. Feel free to comment below.

"💥 The biggest synth value crashes of all time! These once-iconic instruments lost tens of thousands in value—from legendary analog giants to futuristic digital monsters.

You've seen the synths that became priceless icons… but what about the ones that didn’t?

In this countdown, we reveal 15 professional synthesizers that lost the most value from their original prices (adjusted for inflation). From boutique rarities to digital behemoths, these are the synths that hit the market hard—and hit resale even harder.

🎹 We cover:

Synth name + release year

Original price + adjusted inflation value

Current resale value

Total loss 💸

A fun or tragic fact per synth

Whether it's a Fairlight, Synclavier, or the ultra-rare GX-1, some of this gear once cost more than a house… and now? Let’s just say you could buy one for the price of a laptop.

🧠 Think you can guess the biggest loser?"
