The 3rd Wave is a powerhouse wavetable synth with 24-voice polyphony and 4-part multi-timbral capability that’s like having four independent synthesizers at your fingerprints.
Each of its 3 oscillators per voice can be
- A classic PPG-era wavetable
- A high-resolution complex wavetable
- An analog-modeled waveform
Create up to 64 custom wavetables of your own using the built-in Wavemaker. With sample-to-wavetable capability, you can connect an audio source to the audio input and generate a wavetable at the touch of a button.
With 24-voices, the 3rd Wave has enough power for the most note-intensive performances.
And that polyphony really comes into play with its ability to layer up to 4 independent parts or split zones — each with a completely different sound, sequence, and dual effect.
Each stereo part has independent panning, volume, and a dedicated stereo physical output.
Key Features:
- 64 total user wavetable positions with 48 wavetables that contain 64 waveforms per table (32 legacy PPG waves with room for another 16 of this type)
- 32 original 8 bit wavetables from the PPG 2 series instruments with room for 16 more user created 8 bit wavetables
- 7 high-resolution modeled analog waveforms (sine, saw, triangle, supersaw, pulse, white noise, pink noise)
- VCO sync
- Linear FM
- 6-stage wave envelope per oscillator with variable time and position that can be looped
- Optional wave flow section that allows for no wavetable as well as no waveform interpolation
- Upper wavetable mode as with the original PPG 2 series
- Unison mode and chord mode with variable voice count
