PPG Wave 2.V

Operation Manual

Waldorf

sive data. This data type is most commonly used to transfer complete sound memory

sets or to fully control a device from a computer.

Trigger

A trigger starts an event. Trigger signals can vary from each other. Both a MIDI note and

an audio signal can e.g. be used as a trigger. The started event can also vary. A com-

mon use for a trigger is to start an Envelope.

VCA

VCA is an abbreviation for Voltage Controlled Amplifier. A VCA is a element, that uses

a control voltage to control the level of a sound. Often, the control signal is an Envelo-

pe or an LFO.

VCF

VCF is an abbreviation for Voltage Controlled filter. This is a special filter design, where

the filter parameters can be influenced by a control voltage.

Volume

The level of a sound at the output.

Wave

Here: A Wave is a digitally memorized reproduction of one single wave pass. Insofar it

is identical with a Sample that is looped after one single wave pass. In contrast to the

samples in a sampler, all Waves in the Waldorf Wavetable Synthesizers have the same

lengths and are played back in the same pitch.

Wavetable/ Wavetable Synthesis

The sound creation in the PPG Wave 2.V bases on waveform sets, called Wavetables.

You should think of these as a sequence of up to 64 single Waves. This can be played

back in a static way or passed through dynamically, which results in the PPG-typical

interesting sound transformations. If the Waves do not differ much, then the Wavetable

will probably sound smooth and pleasant. If they have a completely different structure,

this will result in wild spectral changes.
