Behringer Wave Envelopes (Ambient Pad)

[@tomnoise23]

This video demonstrates one of the most unusual features on the Wave. The envelopes are kind of quirky and behave differently than on most other synthesizers. Nevertheless, I think it's really fun and useful. Effects used: NI Replika NI Raum Logic Compressor Waves L2

With modifiers you can make them be used in a normal way or even more casually than they come out of the box. The most important part of the PPG is its modifier, when you use more than one sound layer.

Thanks for creating this video series :)

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

nice, loving the crunch in the texture here and there

[@calyx93]

welcome to the weird world of the PPG Wave - I own and have owned several over the years and this is one aspect of the Waves that's the hardest to replicate on even Waldorf synths. Highly unusual - I remember being rather confused and amazed when I first encountered this behavior upon the purchase of the 2.2.

[@tomnoise23]

Yeah, such a simple Idea but highly useful.

[@inperfectsequence7840]

With the Waldorf Blofeld, you can do the same PPG envelopes, using its 4 modifiers.. In the PPG the modifier is also another extra to twist things further, like the behavior of the LFO, filter, envelope, sweep modes.

This synth really sounds incredible!!

[@phils7108]

again many thanks to another insightful demonstration. These envelopes have a really short attack, which we appreciate in the PPG wave synthesisers. The slow attack and long release was something I only rarely used with the PPG wave 2.2, and it appears that the Behringer wave can do it as well. Very good demonstration, tom noise. Also, very good handling of the filter resonance. The right amount at the right time.

sounds great! very very nice! 👌

Another beauty!

Love this ❤

There's always been far more things the PPG could do than the world ever got to hear. That's what makes this Behringer so cool.

[@neilloughran4437]

Yeah the character of the synth is quite different to say something like the wavetable synth in Iridium... quite buzzy and organic.... absolutely lovely... how is the key action on this thing?

[@tomnoise23]

@@neilloughran4437 the key action is on the light side, quite similar to other Behringer Synths like the Deep Mind.

I hope they’ll make a rack or tabletop version. That thing sounds sick! Behringer did it!😌🎹👍🏾

I'm able to get this with a 10% discount and tax free in China. Thinking about buying one tonight.

[@centrodelarosa7122]

Beautiful ! I'm getting one . But I notice the clicking sounds at the start of the video and have heard this in other videos ... does it get annoying dealing with these ?

[@tomnoise23]

@@centrodelarosa7122 I would consider it as part of the sound character. This synth is quite different in many ways. Yes, it clicks at very fast envelope times if the waveform doesn’t have many harmonics.

[@centrodelarosa7122]

@tomnoise23 different is good in my opinion . I'm fairly new to the synth world but for my ears it seems to have exceptional sound quality compared to alot of other synths ive heard , including synths in the higher price bracket . But that's just personal taste perhaps . Please make more videos , if you will .

Wow!!😮😮😮🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍

Bought mine and waiting for it to be dilevered looking forward to playing it

[@tomnoise23]

Congrats! Fingers crossed that it'll be delivered soon!

Got to be the best synth Behringer have re-invented so far?! Beautiful!

V relaxing. Apart from the urge to buy one😊

[@DavidJKellett]

Another great appetizer for the Behringer Wave. With any luck mine will arrive at the end of the week or so. I am really enjoying the videos you have made about the Wave. I’m particularly interested in how slow things can go as I like long droning type sounds. Does the LFO get to really low and slow rates? I’m hoping that by using multies in the Wave I can modulate individual voices to get MPE type functionality. Thanks for making the videos.

[@TheMorphicResident]

Nice, end of the week?? Where did you order from?! Sweetwater acting like expect it end of the summer lol

[@tomnoise23]

Hi, thanks for your comment and congrats on your purchase! 1. The LFO has a range from about 0,2 Hz to 12 Hz. So it's neither superslow nor very fast. For very slow movements, for instance, you could use external modulation with Midi CC and use modulators from e.g. a DAW. That's what I did here. 2. There is no 8part multimode. The Wave can be bi-timbral (Groups A and B).

[@DavidJKellett]

@@TheMorphicResidentI ordered from Andertons in the UK

[@DavidJKellett]

⁠@@tomnoise23I don’t know how I got the impression of 8 multi timbral from! Thanks for the info about the LFO. Yes not slow enough for my purposes but as you say I can do that in the DAW over midi CC

[@Hormigón-m7E]

¡ Gracias ! , deseando ver otra demo . También esperando ya las demos para la Lim drum, deseando ver como se comportan esos 8 y 12 bits , y algo diferente a lo totalmente analógico. Saludos 👍

[@jjrusy7438]

it's all your fault. this will be on back order until the capacitors dry out due to your great demos.

[@tomnoise23]

@@jjrusy7438 thank you!!! But: No. 😂

[@jjrusy7438]

seriously, sweetwater says preorder and it may show up in may. i had to wait 6 months for the vs mini and i just have resigned myself to not get excited about any new behringer until they have been around for a year and a software rev. i see the ub xa modules are finally in stock. I quit playing the behringer hype game because it bums me out. korg is almost as bad. roland and yamaha are far more professional about this

[@VTOLKits]

I think it's a bug, after you release the key, the attack should stop

[@tomnoise23]

@@VTOLKits It’s not a bug, it’s a special feature/behavior that the PPG Wave has as well. It is described in the manual.

[@VTOLKits]

@@tomnoise23 Okay if the original had this, then they want make it same. I don't remember my Microwave 1 had this, but i think not

[@tomnoise23]

@ Agreed, the Microwave is different, not only in this regard.

[@skullhqx]

Hello Tom, do you know if this synth be used as a midi keyboard without issues? Does it have an easy switchable local off? Thanks!

[@tomnoise23]

@ Local on/off is a Parameter on the main screen, so yes it’s easy.

[@Benutzer101]

I like it but i would not trade my Kyra for it. Rediscovering old PPG myth's is fine. I prefer new technology and new inventions. Its just another good Budget rip off.
