The PPG Wave was a series of digital/analog hybrid synthesizers built by the German company Palm Products GmbH from 1981 to 1987.[1]
The Wave 2 had 8-voice polyphony, with one oscillator per voice, it offered digital wavetables and analog VCA, envelope and VCF. The Wave 2.2 can generate over 2,000 different single-cycle 8-bit digital waveforms. It also includes an 8-track sequencer. The Wave 2.2 has two oscillators for each voices. The Wave 2.3 sampler included 12-bit digital waveforms, Fourier analysis and linear playback of samples. As well as 8-parts multitimbrality and MIDI.[1]
