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 fingertips.

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
