KEY>WAVES
0%...233%
This parameter allows you to play different Waves of a Wavetable with different no-
tes. If this is set to 100%, each key on the keyboard triggers a different Wave. The C1
key triggers the waveform, that you have selected with WAVES-OSC or WAVES-
SUB, while higher keys trigger lower waveforms. This reversed direction was used
on purpose, as most Wave sets start out with dull waveforms and become increa-
singly brighter with higher waveform numbers. Using this function on Wavetable 0,
lets you for instance create an electric piano sound, or you use it on Wavetable 27 to
get the famous “PPG choir”.
KEY>FILTER
0%...233%
This parameter determines, the degree to which the filter frequency depends on the
played MIDI note. The higher you set this value, the higher the filter frequency will
rise during play. For instance, if you set this to 100% and play an octave on the
keyboard, the filter frequency changes by the same amount. Please note that this is a
unipolar function, i.e. it only works in one direction.
KEY>LOUDNESS
10:1...1:10
This parameter defines the degree to which the level depends on the played MIDI
note. A setting of 10:10 changes will change nothing. Settings of 1:10, 4:10 or 7:10
will cause that lower notes sound less loud while settings of 10:8, 10:5, 10: 2 or
10:1 will cause that higher notes sound less loud.
VEL>FILTER
ON, OFF
This parameter controls the Filter Envelope’s influence on filter frequency depending
on note velocity values. Use this function to add more expression to your sound.
VEL>LOUDNESS
ON, OFF
This parameter determines the degree to which the level depends on note velocity
values. Use this function to add more expression to your sound.

The keyboard of the original PPG Wave 2.3 was not able to recognize note ve-
locity, but it had a sensor for Aftertouch. This could be used to vary note velo-
city. When a key was pressed, the Wave 2.3 calculated the velocity value of
the next note, based upon the detected Aftertouch data. To make things easier,
we have not implemented this method in the PPG Wave 2.V. It directly uses
note velocity.
MOD>WAVES
ON,OFF
This parameter lets you use the LFO as a modulation source for Wave scanning. As
mentioned earlier, please keep in mind that the LFO modulation intensity can only
be set with the Modulation wheel. Thus, no modulation will take place, if the Modu-
lation wheel is all the way down. The setting of the Modulation wheel is stored with
each Program, same as on the original PPG Wave. Make sure that TOUCH>MOD in
the MODULATION menu is set to OFF, otherwise the LFO only modulates one si-
gnal, if Aftertouch is generated at the same time.
