DIGITAL Panel (DIGI)
The Digital panel lets you access the Wavetable
parameters, their modulation and the Arpeggiator. To
open the Digital panel, press the DIGI button on the Plug-
In panel. The button lights up in blue.
The following sections describe the individual functions in
detail.
TRANSIENT
Here you can load a desired sample. Click on the arrow
button to open a context menu and choose “Load
Transient...”. “Clear” removes a loaded Transient. Drag &
Drop of samples from Explorer (Windows) and Finder
(Mac) is also supported. More information on Transients
and their usage can be found in the chapter “Transient
Menu”.
m
If you have loaded a Transient, Wavetable playback
is disabled for the corresponding Program.
WAVETABLE Diverse
This parameter is used to select the Wavetable for both
Wave oscillators. Nearly 140 Wavetables are available,
spread over various banks. Click on the left and right
arrow buttons to select the desired wavetable.
Alternatively you can click on the arrow down button to
open a pop up menu for faster selection.

A list of all Wavetables and Banks can be found in
the Appendix of this manual.
The Wavetables are the PPG Wave 3.V’s driving force. To
make sure that you fully use this power, you should
familiarize yourself with the sound and the characteristics
of each Wavetable.
To travel through the Wavetables it is advisable to first
initialize a Program. Continuously hold down a key on
the keyboard (preferably the note C4). Envelope 1 is
programmed to slowly travel through all Waves of the
selected Wavetable (except for the last four “analog”
waveforms). Change the Wavetable to hear how the
various Wavetables sound. You will find that they cover a
wide spectrum of interesting sound colours, including
analog, FM typical or bell-type sounds. If you wish to
increase the “travel speed”, then decrease the Decay
value of Envelope 1 correspondingly.
