this manual).
CUTOFF
0...63
Similar to the original, the PPG Wave 2.V contains a low pass filter with resonance ca-
pability and a slope rate of 24 dB per octave. This filter attenuates frequencies above
the corner frequency set with the dial. Turning the dial clockwise opens the filter, so
that all frequencies can pass unchanged when the dial is fully up. Turning the dial
counterclockwise closes the filter. When the dial is turned down, you won’t hear a-
nything, same as on the original PPG.
EMPHASIS
0...63
Emphasis, often also named Resonance, emphasises a narrow frequency band around
the corner frequency. Lower settings between 15 and 50 make the sound more brilliant
and nasal and give it the typical filter character. Please note that higher settings attenu-
ate the level in the same way as the SSM 2044 filter chip did in the original PPG.
���
PPG users do especially like the typical sound character that results from high
Cutoff and Emphasis settings. Caused by the combination with the waveforms, the
sound becomes extremely thin and delicate.
The following illustration shows a simplified version of the filter’s impact on the fre-
quency response:

Waves-Oscillator (WAVES-OSC)
0...63
Waves-Oscillator controls the starting point of the Wavetable selected in the DIGITAL
menu. If you want to create a sound that travels through the Wavetable, then you
should at least roughly set the starting point in the desired Wavetable area. Keep in
mind, that the last four Waves 60 to 63 are the same in all Wavetables, so that unwan-
ted “jumps” can occur during the pass. This method helps you to find the basic cha-
racter of the sound, to which a modulation (e.g. caused by the LFO, the Envelope or by
Key tracking) is assigned.
