The Analog User Interface

The analog user interface offers direct access to the dials on the PPG Wave 2.V. The
Pitch Bend and Modulation wheels can be controlled both from within the Plug-In
and from your Master keyboard. Same as on the original PPG Wave 2.3, the setting
of the Modulation wheel is stored separately for each Sound Program. This lets you
save a sound with preset modulations.
The analog user interface is automatically active when you start the Plug-In. To get
back to the analog user interface from within a menu, press the corresponding Menu
button again (it will light in red).
All dials and functions are explained in the following sections.

BASIS

0...63

The Basis dial controls the position of voices within the stereo panorama (pan). If
this is set to 0, all voices are audible in the middle of the stereo spectrum. If you turn
it to the right, voices in POLY mode alternate between a left and a right pan positi-
on. In DUAL, QUAD and MONO modes, voices are equally spread within the ste-
reo spectrum. This function only makes sense, if you monitor your audio signal in
stereo.

w

In contrast to the original PPG, where it could happen that two voice would
sound on the same channel, voices in the PPG Wave 2.V always sound alterna-
tively for each channel.

VOLUME

0...63

This dial is used to set the output volume of a Program. It is a good idea to the lower
the Volume value, if the sound tends to distort anyway because of its settings. In
Program mode, this allows you to use sounds with different volumes.

VOLUME is not Master-Volume, it only applies to the respective MIDI channel.
Use the channel mixer in your host-application, if you want to reduce the
overall volume of the Plug-In.

LFO

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) is an oscillator that
creates an oscillation below the threshold of audibility.
These can be used to continuously control different pa-
rameters (e.g. to control the WAVES, the FILTER or the
pitch of the oscillator).

The PPG Wave 2.V’s LFO offers four different oscillator waveforms as modulation si-
gnal. modulation intensity can be controlled with the Modulation wheel
