PPG Wave 2.2 Wavetable Synthesizer

PPG	Analogue PPG trigger info: gate pulse in/out 15V GROUND to positive.
PPG	PPG Synth overview / überblick..
some PPG MODULES ARE here/hier! –	the ppg 100 modular is here!!
PPG Wavecomputer the first one that used wavetables, that are now in the Waldorf Synths and the later PPGs (wave) max 4 voices, no filter. if you got a microwave or a wave: the first 30 waves! this started it all: the wavetable synthesizers based on spectral scanthough by envelope or LFO (DYNAMICALLY/moving spectra!).. a wavetable is basically made of additive composition of the first 16 harmonics. on the PPG WAVETERM you can draw them, on the waldorf wavetable synths you can do it also.. find more about wavetables in the waldorf section.. controls / whats in it? ENV: one AR and one ADSR env with Peak Level. LFO with Speed and Delay Dynamics control Wavescan (Wave), VCA or Pitch.by LFO or ENV Transform Slider and typical wavetable displays on the right side.. see picture..	PPG 360 Wavecomputer enlarge click on above pic!! Wavecomputer
the legendary PPG Wave 2.2 controlled by the Waveterm A (big floppy drives 8′) or B (3 1/2′).. the Waveterm C is a PC-based project (see below).. well, ppg invented the WAVETABLE synthesis. 60 spectral „snapshots“ can be scanned through by an envelope generator.. Waldorf (also german company like PALM PRODUCTS GERMANY = PPG) did a rack 1989, the microwave.. and.. well.. you know the Wave and microWave series.. check waldorf section (they also used the ASICs (chips) that wolfang palm (founder of ppg) developed before for his wave series… the „most typical“ wave may be the wave 2.0. and: well it is the most stable one. ppg’s name became „panic products germany“ just because of the problems (the board: narrow and dense and thermo probs..) so: I do not recommend this for live!!.. there is a small company (virtual music) offereing some updates and maintainance kits like keyboard mod and another OS can be found here but: it is one of the most interesting sounding synth that has been made those times! (early 80ies!). bands like propaganda, depeche mode and art of noise used the „blue system“ for about 33000DM (deutsche mark = about equivaltent of about16500Euros!).. the very special things introduced with the wave 2.X series: sampling (using the waveterm) with 12bits max. it was THE HI-END DREAM MACHINE of that time.. there is also a software ppg 2.V by waldorf trying to emulate it’s sound.. but listen yourself!!.. PPG Wave (Waveterm!) disk format – disc format: format, or at least a raw driver that can be customized or so.With Windows, you will probably don’t have a chance…related to the OS/9 that runs on the old Radio Shack Color Computers, which have 6809E’s in them. It was a Unix-like OS that could multitask even on that little 2 MHz (as far as I remember) machine. It would be cool if you could read the PPG disks using one of those . . . As far as I know, it was OS 9 (not to confuse with MacOS 9 ;-)) which was developed by some German programmers. There was a computer based on this OS and the Waveterm B used the same main board.Check with the experts: http://www.nashville.net/~antarct/ppg.htm Die PPG Synthesizer finden sich wieder in den Waldorf Synthesizern Microwave 1,2,XT und XTk und Wave .. mehr dazu im Waldorf Menü Es gibt einen Linux driver um die „OS9“ Daten zu lesen (hat natürlich nix mit MacOS9 zu tun)..	ppg wave 2.2 / and 2.3 (300pcs / 700pcs) have been made apprx. PPG Wave 2.0 -> the earlier one..
WAVETERM C	there are some freaky ppl out there: the waveterm C is a pc-project porting the waveterm 1 and b to hard/software! check their site (paul maddox,dave forward, hermann seib) http://www.waveterm.com/
PPG Wave 2.0 , 2.2 , 2.3 & Waveterm A , Waveterm B, PRK and HDV / EVU	missing the PPG wave series? yes, I do not have a nice image so far.. hermann seibs page: and real interesting mod to those machines herethere are some freaky ppl out there: the waveterm C is a pc-project porting the waveterm 1 and b to hard/software! check their site (paul maddox,dave forward, hermann seib) http://www.waveterm.com/ PPG mods and techs service help?

ppg 390 drum unit this is really rare! there are afaik 2 know ppg 390 out there! thanks to paul maddox () for pic and info (this thing exists!), that background is again bernies moog/ppg monster machine www.aliens-project.de

the rare PPG 1020 synthesizer PPG 1020 (above) from 1976, it had digital OSCs! LFO („Mod Generator“), LPF, 2 OSCs bigger? / gross? HERE IS A CLOSEUP!!

PPG Modular synthesizer	more on ppg modular..
lots of sequencers & ADSRs ;) want to see this in use?go here HERE IS A MOVIE / HIER IST EIN FILM von diesem SYNTH/ of this Synth!!!! LIVE!
just have a look at the ENVs.. ;) LARGE CLOSEUP PICS OF THE MODULES NACHANSICHT DER MODULE!! HERE

the ppg100 modular system by/from Beerma§ter – Dreamscape Studio find more ppg modules here deutsche beschriftung! ever seen german words on a synthesizer? wolfang palm did this on this model!
more ppg modular pics..	tiefpass is a LPF! – hüllkurveng stands for envelope generator verstärker is the VCA section.
	uuhm ribbon is not german – vee t(h)ink ;) tiefpass is a LPF! – hüllkurveng stands for envelope generator verstärker is the VCA section.
	attenuator = abschwächer! – vormischfeld = the CP module / mix the oscillators!
	the sequencial switch ;) zeitsteuerung – time control
