One of the synths I never knew I listened to, remade by Behringer. The original PPG Wave was used on my favourite synth pop albums by Ultravox, Thomas Dolby, Depeche Mode (and basically every other synth band after the synth was released) in the early-to-mid 80’s. Part of the digital revolution, with a wavetable synth engine giving a totally different vibe compared to, say, the FM synthesis of the DX-7. Internet seems to agree that Behringer has made quite a decent copy of it, so here we go. The presets aren’t particularly mind-blowing for my taste, but oh-so-familiar with a couple of true gems, and I can see myself loading my own wavetables into it to make it “mine”. Haven’t played around with wavetables in 30 years, I think. So yeah, nostalgia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
