PPG Wave 2.V

Operation Manual
WAVES-SUB-Oscillator (WAVES-SUB)
0...63
Depending on the setting of the SUB-WAVES parameter in the DIGITAL menu, the
WAVES-SUB parameter selects a certain waveform. Please find more information in the
section “Sub Waves” on page 20.
���
Within sound-memory, the current and Upper Wavetables are arranged in the
form of a sequential ring. If you thus create a modulation, that exceeds the 63rd
Wave, then the corresponding Waves of the Upper Wavetable become audible.
The same goes for modulations below 0. You simply use the parameter UPPER
WAVES to replace the Wavetables of the oscillator. The SUB-WAVES parameter
controls whether the sub oscillator also uses these replaced Wavetables.
Modifiers Control
This is where you control the impact that both ADSR Envelopes
have on the respective modulation target.
ENV 1 VCF
0...63
This controls how ADSR Envelope 1 influences the filter frequency. The higher you set
this value, the more the filter frequency rises with the modulation deflection of the En-
velope. Experiment with Cutoff and this control to find out what they do. Note that the
Envelope intensity can only use the positive deflection form, same as on the original
PPG Wave.
ENV 2 VCA
0...63
This controls the influence of ADSR Envelope 2 on the sound level. The higher you set
this value, the louder the sound.
ENV 1 WAVES
0...63
This controls ADSR Envelope 1’s impact on the modulation of the oscillator’s Waves.
Try this:
1.
Set WAVES-OSC to zero.
2.
Set ENV1 WAVES to a value smaller than 60. If you select 60 or higher, you will get
into the area of the four “analog” waveforms, which can lead to rough sound
(which of course can also be attractive).
3.
Now set the ADSR Envelope 1 ATTACK to a value between 32 and 40 and
SUSTAIN to zero. Now you can clearly hear the Wave scanning process, i.e. how
the sound travels through the Waves of the Wavetable.
4.
Using ENV 1 WAVES and/or WAVES-OSC you can now exactly control the Wave-
table area through which the sound travels in a certain period of time. You can ad-
ditionally scan the sub oscillator’s Wavetable with ENV 3, which facilitates inte-
resting sound transformations.
