"Serial Number 700XXX. The machine is 6 voices and come equipped with full MIDI capabilities. It can function in Mono, Stereo, or even as a 6 voice multi-timbral monosynth. It also has CV/Gate capabilities and can be used as C/V to MIDI converter for up to 6 channels of your old gear. The modulation and routing capabilities on this thing are incredible."
PPG Wave 2.2 Wavetable Synthesizer from the year 1982.
part1: some typical classic Wave 2.2 sounds
part2: the different functions (coming soon)
The PPG Wave 2.2 is the direct successor of the Wave 2 but with 2 oscillators. He is one of the greatest synths ever. A real classic! Only 500 Wave 2.2 were manufactured.
The sound character is different to the later Waldorf Microwave synths and a little bit different to the Wave 2.3. The nice SSM 2044 filter make the sounds so warm and incredible.
