ENV 3 is identical with DIRECT, except that Envelope
3 is used as the modulation source for the Wave
scanning of the sub oscillator. You can use this
setting to create oppositely directed Wave
modulations of the two oscillators. The switch UPPER
WAVES has no impact here.
[
SUB-WAVES
has also influence on the
Transients playback. You should use it for sound
experiments. Load a sample, set SUB-WAVES to
DIRECT and choose alternative sample start points
and loop start points.

The Original PPG Wave 2.3 offered several options to
stack voices. The SEMITONE parameters in the TUNING
menu are directly connected with this function. Not all
original modes are found in the Wave 3.V, as it would not
make sense because of the dynamic voice assignment that
is used nowadays. (Background: The PPG Wave 2.3
offered a maximum of eight voices). The most important
and interesting Keyboard modes have been taken over
from the original:
•
POLY means that an incoming note only creates one
voice. In Poly mode only SEMITONE 1 controls the
pitch of the played notes (in the Original PPG Wave,
this mode was named POLY 8x1).
•
DUAL means that an incoming note creates two
voices. Here, SEMITONE 1 controls the pitch of the
first voice and SEMITONE 2 controls the pitch of the
second voice (in the Original PPG Wave, this mode
was named QUAD 4x2).
•
QUAD means that each incoming note creates four
voices. Here, SEMITONE 1 to 4 control the respective
pitch of the four voices (in the Original PPG Wave,
this mode was named DUO 2x4).
•
MONO means, that each incoming note creates eight
voices. Again, SEMITONE 1 to 8 control the
respective pitch of the eight voices (in the Original
PPG Wave, this mode was named MONO 1 x 8).
Please note, that only one note at a time can be
played. If you create another note while the first one
ist still held, then the first will be cut off. The note is
not memorized. If you thus let go of the note of a
chord, no older note becomes audible.
