Worth Knowing about Transients
The PPG Wave 3.V offers sampleplayback. This is an
homage to the original PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3 in
conjunction with the Waveterm or PRK Processor-
Keyboard hardware. Samples are called Transients in the
PPG terminology. You can´t compare the sampleplayback
of the PPG Wave 3.V to the playback of modern software
samplers as Native Instruments Kontakt or Steinberg
Halion. It rather expand the sound diversity of the PPG
Wave 3.V and offers a very characteristic and vintage
sound. Don´t expect high-end sampleplayback, but you
will get nostalgic and expressive sounds.

If you have loaded a Transient, Wavetable playback
is disabled for the corresponding Program.
We deliver the PPG Wave 3.V with a bunch of samples
that were part of the original PPG sample library.
Of course you can load and playback your own samples.
Stored loop points within a sample will be recognized and
played. Keep in mind that the PPG Wave 3.V only
supports forward loops. Backward loops or alternate loops
won´t be supported. Same is valid for crossfade loops. We
recommend to use a suited audio editor software to set
loop points and render them into the audio file before
using it with the PPG Wave 3.V.

The Transients are not stored in the programs or
banks, only their absolute file path is stored. If you
move a sample to a different location on your hard
disk or delete it, the Transient field will show “not
found”, followed by the file name.
