PPG Wave 3.V Beta Testing Begins

via Waldorf:

"The new Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is now in beta test stage.

Waldorf PPG Wave 3
Busy testers will put the plug-in through its paces. We are very proud that one of our testers is mastermind Wolfgang Palm himself who invented the PPG Synthesizers in the 1970s.

Here are some secret facts: Besides the well-known features of the PPG Wave 2.V our new plug-in offers sample playback based on the classic PPG Waveterm technology. We have added some nice stuff like an opulent effects section, filter drive as well as an extensive sound browser.

Not enough? Well, what would you say if we added the complete Waveterm B sample library and more than 130 wavetables (a lot of new stuff created by Wolfgang Palm)."


Also, the Waldorf Edition software package currently featuring the PPG Wave 2.V, Waldorf Attack drum synth, and D-Pole filter is available for purchase online. Note it is also available at Novamusik here.

"Three masterpieces in one edition:

* Waldorf Attack is a very powerful and versatile drum synthesizer, beloved due to it's rich palette of sounds an intuitive user interface.
* PPG Wave 2.V is the authentic reproduction of the legendary PPG Wave 2.3. that dominated many productions of the 80s.
* D-Pole is the prestigious Waldorf Filter with resonance up to self-oscillaton and beyond.

Everything runs properly on Mac and PC, also on Intel based Mac and as AudioUnit.
This offer is a download item. The boxed version can be purchased from your local dealer.
Here some sound examples:
PPG Wave 2.V
Waldorf Attack #1 - Feel the Attack
Waldorf Attack #2 - Chaos
Waldorf Attack #3 - Werkeln"

bOOmbaum Delay Mod LDR Light controlled delay FX

boombaumYT | October 28, 2010

"Demo of bOOmbaum Delay Mod. The Monacor Delay was modded with 2 additional Delay Time knobs and a LDR (light sensor). You can switch between all 3 Knobs and the LDR, so the delay time changes abrupt. The additional knobs are extra big, so you can control the delay time very accurately.

Here just a demo of the LDR and the additional knobs. The beat is running on the Electribe SX.

Enjoy! Check out the Knob Demo!"

14 STG Post Lawsuit Lowpass showcase

YouTube via 7thDanSound | October 27, 2010

"This video is a show case of the STG Soundlabs Post Lawsuit Low Pass Filter based on an old ARP filter. I like the sound of it and wanted to show you some of it's characteristics. I play simple single oscillator wave forms through it and fiddle the knobs. No cool trick this time :)"

Differences: I did a quick comparison of the full version of the Filtatron and Moogfest Filtatron. The Moogfest version is surprisingly featured. It is the same minus Line In, Delay Rate and Depth MOD knobs and the Filter Pad. You get the Sampler and VCO, VCF, ENV, LFO and Pads for LFO, Delay, VCO, ENV & AMP.

I've been skipping the two as this site is about synths and everything I've seen on the two is centered around guitars. That said, you can obviously use them with your synths. Below is the new AmpliTube promo vid followed by a review on AmpKit by BigGeekReviews. If you have or are considering either, feel free to comment. Create Digital Music has an in depth post on AmpliTube here I'll need to check out as well.
