Differences to the Original PPG Wave 2.3
From today’s viewpoint, some functions in the original PPG Wave 2.3 are not up-to-
date. For this reason, we have made a view changes to the Plug-In user interface, com-
pared to its brother in hardware:
The naming of the different menus: In the original, there were PROGRAM, DIGITAL,
TUNING, ANALOG and SEQUENCE. The ANALOG menu displayed the dial para-
meters as numerical values in the display. This helped the user to compare between
the physical dial setting and the actually set parameter value of the current sound. In
the PPG Wave 2.V this menu is not necessary, as the dials show the settings of the
selected sound at any time. The SEQUENCE menu was used to call up the built-in
sequencer of the original PPG. This had a very simple structure and could in no way
compare to the power of a modern software sequencer, which is why we haven’t
included it in the Wave 2.V. Still present are the Arpeggiator and the possibility to
record parameter changes using MIDI Controller messages. In addition, the PPG
Wave 2.V has two new menus: MODULATION shows all possibilities for modulati-
on within one menu, while the GRAPH menu offers graphic envelope and filter edi-
ting.
The second difference lies in the parameter names that are used: On the original
PPG, quite cryptic names were used for a number of functions (e.g. MF for the filter
modulation or SW for sub-oscillator behaviour). In the PPG Wave 2.V, these names
are either not abbreviated or the abbreviation makes sense.
The third difference concerns the display of values. On the original PPG, even swit-
ches only used numerical values. The parameter SUB-WAVES, which had the values
OFF, OFFSET, DIRECT and ENV3. These were represented by the numbers 0, 1, 2
and 3 (where 3 oddly enough stood for OFF). The PPG Wave 2.V offers an appro-
ach that’s a little more comprehensible.
