Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave Synthesizer, which is considered one of the most respected high-end synthesizers of the 80s.
Developed by Wolfgang Palm, this instrument is featured on countless records, and it inspired a whole generation of producers, composers and listeners. While back then it was your choice to spend your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, the PPG Wave 3.V renders this sonic character much more affordable, to use for every VST or AU Host.
During the development of the PPG Wave 3.V, Waldorf gladly received extensive advice from Wolfgang Palm himself to ensure that the PPG Wave 3.V becomes a worthy successor of this adorable jewel of the art of German engineering.
Unleash the massive sound potential with the charm of the “good old digital days” with this unique instrument, and bring back the pure joy and individuality of 80s synthesis with the PPG Wave 3.V.
