Behringer PPG Wave Progress

An updated on the Wave from Behringer (don't miss the note on the logo design further below):

"We’re very excited to share with you that we’ve just completed our third and final prototype after 3 years of development, which will now go to our beta testers for final testing, before the synthesizer is released for mass production.

The Wave hybrid synthesizer was a particular complex research and development project, as the recreation of the unique sound properties such as aliasing, over-sampling, low-res converters etc. was very challenging. But after much hard work, we nailed it.

We’re also working together with the legendary Hermann Seib, one of the creators behind this beautiful synth.

This is an exceptionally beautiful and unique synth and once we receive the necessary semiconductors, we’ll get it straight into mass production and into your hands."

Followed by:

"Normally, I wouldn't be bothered by something unimportant like that, but something is annoying me with the design of the logo/synth-name section of the panel. Maybe it is the missing 'PPG' part or the version numbers, or even both. Of course, I do understand that most likely copyright issues are leaving no other choice than using whatever remains, but at least to me, it looks like 'basically Samson - but without his hair' if you get what I mean. I don't know, but perhaps it would be cooler and more of a bold statement (rather than the somewhat castrated "wave") to either use only the version number instead (making it the "Behringer 2.2") or just the capitalized letters "PPG" using the same font as for the "wave" (instead of the iconic original logo design). This would look more like 'maybe it's not the actual Samson, but all of it's might and power'"

ROLAND SH-09 Analog Synthesizer 1979 | HD DEMO

video upload by AnalogAudio1

"(c) 2022 by AnalogAudio1

The Roland SH-09 is a great little monophonic analog synth. With only 1 oscillator, a wide range of cool sounds are possible! Quite simple design, but the basic sound is excellent: the fast envelope, the PWM in combination with the sub oscillator makes that 'magic Roland analog sound' happen.

Quite interesting features as S&H, noise generator, 24 dB filter, ADSR, external signal input (with its own input level slider). The sound architecture is very similar to its successor SH-101, but the SH-09 sounds more like the earlier Roland gear from the 70ies. It really shines when controlled by a sequencer, it has some fantastic percussive sounds. Built like a tank, high quality hardware, easy to repair.

I played the Roland SH-09 with reverb effects from the Lexicon MPX-500 (in the intro) and delay effects from the Korg SDD-3000 (right channel only). On the left channel you can hear the synth dry.

At 3:15 it gets groovy with the Roland TR-606! Enjoy..."
