[ Try this: Set WAVES-OSC to zero. Set ENV1
WAVES to a value smaller than 60. If you select
60 or higher, you will get into the area of the four
“analog” waveforms, which can lead to rough
sound jumps (which of course can also be
attractive). Now set the ADSR Envelope 1
ATTACK to a value between 32 and 40 and
SUSTAIN to zero. Now you can clearly hear the
Wave scanning process, i.e. how the sound
travels through the Waves of the Wavetable.
Using ENV 1 WAVES and/or WAVES-OSC you
can now exactly control the Wavetable area
through which the sound travels in a certain
period of time. You can additionally scan the sub
oscillator’s Wavetable with ENV 3, which
facilitates interesting sound transformations.

Keep in mind that ENV1 WAVES can move a sample
loop. Loop length is unaffected.
PANEL FUNCTION
SLOPE 12 DB
Click on this button to change the filter
characteristic from 24 dB per octave to 12
dB per octave. The corresponding LED
lights up in red.
DRIVE TUBE
Click on this button to change the drive characteristic to
an asymmetric saturation that sounds like a valve
saturation. If not activated , the drive characteristic is
similar to a hard transistor saturation.
TRUE PPG
If you activate this function, the PPG Wave 3.V is set into
a special mode where it shows the same peculiarities in
behaviour that its original model showed. The LED lights
up in red, if the function is active. According to this
parameter the setting of the PPG WAVE MODE
parameter on the DIGITAL panel is also important.
• You hear the typical aliasing noise of the original
PPGs, especially when creating higher notes.
