Short settings for Attack, Decay or Release will be
ignored by the waveform envelope. This prevents the
typical click sound that occurs within the PPG Wave 2.2
and 2.3.
ADSR ENVELOPE 2
This Envelope is used to control level development. The
four dials control the exact Envelope form and time-wise
modulation development of the sound’s level. The
intensity of this Envelope can be controlled with the ENV2
VCA parameter.
AD ENVELOPE 3
This Envelope can be assigned to different modulation
targets. Attack and Decay behave as usual, but the signal
always travels through the Envelope completely, no
matter if a note is held or not.
If ENV3>OSC or ENV3>SUB in the TUNE menu are
active, Envelope 3 modulates the pitch of the
corresponding oscillator. ENV 3 ATT either creates a
negative (when turned counter clockwise) or a positive
(when turned clockwise) Envelope deflection.
If SUB-WAVES in the DIGITAL menu is set to ENV3, then
Envelope 3 modulates the sub oscillator waveform. In this
case, only the positive deflection form of ENV 3 ATT can
be used.

MODIFIERS
This section creates the actual sound. Two Wavetable
oscillators (OSC and SUB) as well as a low pass filter with
resonance capability.
Sound creation in the PPG Wave 3.V bases on waveform
sets, called Wavetables. You should think of these as a
