Operation Manual
lected Wavetable (except for the last four “analog” waveforms). Change the Wavetable
to hear how the various Wavetables sound. You will find that they cover a wide
spectrum of interesting sound colours, including analog, FM typical or bell-type
sounds. If you wish to increase the “travel speed”, then decrease the Decay value of
Envelope 1 correspondingly.
UPPER WAVES
ON, OFF
In addition to the 64 Waves per Wavetable, Upper Waves are available. This is another
Wavetable, which provides another 64 Waves. Click ON to activate the Upper Waves.
The Upper Waves reside above the regular Wavetables and expand the Spectrum of the
Wave scanning. Only one Upper Waves “Wavetable” is available and it is identical for
all Wavetables.

The original PPG Wave 2.3 could only provide the upper Wavetable to the
Sound on the first Part. In the PPG Wave 2.V Plug-In UPPER WAVES can be acti-
ve on each channel.
SUB-WAVES
OFF, OFFSET, DIRECT, ENV 3
Use this function to activate the Sub Wave oscillator. Four different settings are pos-
sible:
OFF switches the Sub oscillator off. The Wave oscillator will sound twice as loud to
compensate for the difference in volume.
OFFSET is the preferred setting. In this mode, the value to which WAVESSUB is set,
is added to the value set for WAVES-OSC. If you e.g.set WAVESOSC to 20 and
WAVES-SUB to 10, the oscillator will play Wave 20, while the sub oscillator will
play Wave 30. Offset can also be used in connection with the possible Wave oscil-
lator modulations. The switch UPPER WAVES also applies to the sub oscillator in
this setting, as this still concerns an Offset between sub oscillator-waveform and os-
cillator-waveform.
DIRECT means that the WAVES-SUB dial plays the set waveform directly, and that
no modulation can change it. If you e.g. want to perform a Wavescan only for the
main oscillator, while the sub oscillator should play a fixed wave, then select this
setting. The switch UPPER WAVES has no impact here.
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.
KEY>WAVES
0%...233%
This parameter allows you to play different Waves of a Wavetable with different notes.
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 increasingly 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”.
