Hands-On with the Behringer Wave: The Ultimate Wavetable Synth

[@olav7]

In the history of synthesizers, no one has ever demoed a synth so enthusiastically. I’d buy one of these just based on this dude

Best Behringer video yet! I love this guy's love for what he's doing. ❤❤❤

[@bartekkrzemien]

Thank U so much! :) Greetings!

[@DustonsSounds]

As a big Depeche fan, instant buy for me. Depeche Mode used a Wave 2 mainly in the studio for the second album (‘A Broken Frame’, 1982) and onwards for a couple of years. Its unique and distinctive sounds are unmistakable on that record. The single ‘See You’ features the very recognisable choir sound, plus the bell riff and other parts, while that release’s B-side ‘Now This Is Fun’ also has Wave’s hallmark stamped all over it.

[@jeshkam]

Yeah, but they had some well documented issues with it as well. 😁

[@DustonsSounds]

@ I assume Behringer's version has fixed all tech issues from the original.

[@jeshkam]

@DustonsSounds Can you imagine Martin buying either Behringer or Groove Synthesis version and using it on either next DM or his solo album?

[@alistairsteadman3765]

@@jeshkamNo 🙂

[@jeshkam]

@@alistairsteadman3765 I could. 😉

[@Mgm_Designs]

He was soooo enthusiastic, he clearly has played an OG PPG Wave before so he's probably surprised over the similarities of the sounds. Fantastic demo video.

[@stefanhennig]

How he always takes the last exit when demoing just centimeters before the copyright strike. Give that man a medal! Love it!

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

😂only if I can also give KZbin and copyright Nazis the finger!!!

[@etpslick100]

Wow! Behringer is really on to something here! I like it! Make a tabletop version; I’M IN!😌🎹🎶👍🏾

[@alexsicko]

xD hahah it got me confused also. but how would it be a copyright strike if some one is covering? i mean, the algorithm recognizes the pattern and if i remember correctly, if the patch also matches the original melody, youtube software will automatically give this notification?

[@steveanderson5226]

I love the artist doing this demo! His enthusiasm is off the chart!!!! Oh and the synth is a buy for me :)

[@bartekkrzemien]

Thank U so much! :)

[@michaelscottpettis]

I have a feeling this will be seen in every studio eventually. You nailed it Behringer. Congratulations on this masterpiece.

[@vladsnape6408]

A most excellent demo. The Wave sounds fantastic, and the presenter does a really good job of showing off its sounds. He looks so happy. I want some of whatever he is on.

[@bartekkrzemien]

Thanks! :)

[@HansiModular]

I remember standing in front of a shop window and admiring the Wave 2.2. More than 40 years ago but I clearly remember the WOW feeling - this machine can do anything ...

[@UnknownForceMusic]

This is the first wavetable synth ever that I like the sound of. It has all the attributes that I love in synth. I'm sold on those warm pads. But the only space that I have left is for a module/desktop. Great demo :)

[@RalphBaumgartl]

The speed at which Behringer is currently releasing new affordable Synths is mind blowing. Awesome sound and price tag. Super deluxe 👍

[@angebruneel]

First time they talked about the wave was on July 7th 2021 on their FB page.

[@SS-hz4jo]

I was considering the 3rdWave, but this might be a better pickup. Now all I need is the release of the LMDrum.

[@JamesCorbettMusic5000]

Yep, just preordered this, then the Linn and eventually the CS80 then I’m done … well, until something else gets released

[@synthmaven]

@@JamesCorbettMusic5000 where can you order this?

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Linn is just samples, there’s no hardware synthesis and no filtering. You can just drop the samples into anything.

[@MusicProduction-b9p]

The 3rd Wave is still better. Has more of pretty much everything, but this is still good enough for the price.

[@SS-hz4jo]

@@synthmaven there’s a uk dealer taking preorders.

[@wren23_bass-synths]

I always wanted a PPG Wave, but I will definitely have this in my studio soon as possible.

[@ewanstefani]

it's basically a Wave + Waveterm computer in one

[@cnfuzz]

Sadly it doesn't sound like one , far to smooth for Ppg, the highs are rolled of at a much lower sample rate than the 367 kHz of the original Ppg2.3

[@titovalasques]

That really does sound exceptional. I really want one.

[@1st2mind]

Well done Behringer. Sounds like my PPG and looks amazing and as usual portable for the modern day performing musician.

[@SantiagoGT15]

Behringer is now the only company out there putting in the work! Glad to see great synths at reasonable prices!

[@GeorgeLocke]

By "the work" you mean jacking the R&D of their competitors?

[@SantiagoGT15]

@ nah, the other work, you know, making musical instruments affordable so more people can have the chance at creating music without having to overpay for 80’s tech

[@GeorgeLocke]

@SantiagoGT15 Walmart isn't a noble institution because they are able to sell their products for less. Remaking existing products reduces labor costs by relying on other companies to do their R&D, and rebuilding existing products means you have a much better idea of the demand, which reduces the risk of investing in a "new" product. All of this is sound business strategy, and while we consumers are not hurt by lower prices per se, companies relying on economies of scale like Walmart or Amazon have well known externalities, ie costs paid not by the company or its owners but by its workforce and the public at large. An example of this kind of externality would be the quality of life among poorly treated workers. All of this is, again, business as usual. Behringer isn't worse than inMusic because they reduce the price point of their products, but neither does selling a cheaper product make them a boon to society. It's just business doing normal business stuff: making as much money as possible for the investor class.

[@leftmono1016]

⁠@@GeorgeLocke- their competition can’t be arsed to revisit their old designs in a lot of cases. Behringer give people what they want at prices that could easily be 20 or even 50% higher and still sell a lot of units. TD3-MO is £125 ffs, that’s stunning value for money. So any naively moral issue is neutralised.

[@l0riz624]

Finally! I love the PPG sound and can‘t wait to grab this.

​@@toslinked The song was #1 for weeks in well over 10 countries in 1985. Meaning it sold millions if not tens of millions of records. To say it was hated is just bollocks

[@HildegardHeimo]

Wait a moment, I had a wave 2.2 mid 80's and know the synth very well. If you have a step recorder sequencer (the same in all other Behringer) than this is not an original Wave. With PPG Wave you had a realtime sequencer with count in click and you can quantize later on like a midi file. Soundwise: Close to the Original.

[@Dudderlyful]

More than happy with a step sequencer

[@HildegardHeimo]

@@Dudderlyful ,yep, but it was made to replicate a Wave 2.2.No step sequencer there.

Great demo, thank you. Your genuine appreciation of those gorgeous sounds was well expressed 😊, and I heard what I needed to hear. Behringer have done it again. I have a DeepMind desktop, (and a deep mind), and it ranks right up there for quality and genius. I’ve wanted a PPG forever. I still own a Kawai K4-r, which has sorta kinda similar architecture, and was the only affordable PPG-ish synth in the early 90s. It’s capable of some quite unique and extraordinary sounds, and also some awful artifacts and quirks, but I love it. I thought I should stop acquiring synths, but … you know. Wave. Ooeee !
