This one in via Javier Zubizarreta:"Check what I found on the Waldorf site, on the PPG 2.V plugin page:
At right you have a screenshot section, if you click on "graph panel" you´ll see something weird in the filter response... a crazy drawing and the words "Whoops"!!!!!! That´s not all... if you click on "Program" screenshot you´ll see "vcf - rand" where it should say "true PPG" and "XXX XXX" where it should say "out 3-4".
It seems the pics are from an early stage of development or something, strange they used the XXX which means other things... ;)"

A couple of updates via the comments:
"These are really early drafts of the GUI. There is still a bug in the straight line between the Modifiers section and two sections below.
The funny drawing etc. would fit perfectly with the sense of humor of the Waldorf folks, especially Wolfram Franke, who did the PPG 2.V
In Germany the XXX does not mean anything special, except a placeholder for 3 characters...

"I remember seeing these screen shots just before the beta test I took part of started. And I was the one that noted the wrong design of lines on the front panel first. Mainly because I did not had the right host to use the beta version to test in the first two weeks of beta testing.
Anyway, this was my first beta test for a synth related product then.
And yes, the humor of the Waldorf team was always like this.
And I can asure you: tripple "x" is only a often used combination of letters as place holders here in Germany. Nothing more.

Yep, I miss those days on the Waldorf List. Here's another interesting bit of Matrixsynth trivia. When I received my Waldorf XTk, I was so thrilled I sent waldorf an email. They asked me if they could put it up on their user reviews site. I was so thrilled I of course accepted. The review sat there as the main user review for the Waldorf XTk for nearly a year. Good times indeed.
