Can the Behringer Wave PPG? Does it replicate 80s tech? and does it have to?

[@DavidJKellett]

It’s a beautiful instrument. I sat in front of mine today making a drone - my foot was tired so I put a weight on the sustain pedal - I thought that I was there for half an hour but in fact I so lost track of time that it was three hours! I’d lusted after the PPG sound for years , really since I first heard one when they came out, but I could never afford one until this recreation. Thanks for the video, I really enjoy your take on these machines.

[@shawnrudiman]

Great intro demo. Thanks. 30 year wavetable freak here. Glad it has all the little things that made the ppg 2.3 the great machine it is. All demos should be this direct and to the point and distilled. Thank you. 10.0

Sitting in front of the same machine atm, I love the crunchy aliasing and grit this brings. what an emulation.Never thought to this day I'd ever own a PPG, so happy that they nailed it so well. Big shout out to Herman Sieb who worked on the original and this updated version too

[@NickHowesAstro]

Excellent overview. I had access to an OG in the 90s, which I was told to "learn how to program" by John Arbiter (This was at Turnkey) as they had a unit in to sell. It was a beast, and such a unique sound. If they made this in a compact mini form, I'd get it in a heartbeat, simply no space left in the studio, but a great demo of a great instrument, which Behringer have nailed

[@TheSynthnut]

As an original PPG 2.3 owner I can say I'm impressed by what I hear so far. What I'm really interested in is if it can do the stuff my Waveterm does, sample wise. Then I'm in!

[@StarskyCarr]

I've attempted to import waveterm files (as WAVs) but I've not got it working correctly - possibly a formatting issue. It can't sample.. at least not yet (not that there are any plans to do so that I'm aware of).

[@lundsweden]

I wonder why Starsky couldn't import wav files? Could it be a different sampling rate? What is the max rate of the BBG Wave? Is the format 8, 12 or 16 but?

[@harrymartin684]

​@@StarskyCarr That's a shame, a partner Wavteterm app running on a tablet would be awesome

[@StarskyCarr]

@@lundsweden I think it was the sample I was using was better paced as a short literal transient - a choir tone, but it sounded weird on the loop point. I've since tried using other samples like DX7 bass, Rhodes piano, grand piano and it's working. So it was probably the sample not being the best - it's not a sampler after all. I can do a short choir tone but not a sustained one ...yet!

[@pablowentscobar]

Behringer crushed it with this. People seem to really like this Wave. So far, I've only heard good things about them in the forums and the FB pages, which is weird because Behringer is sort of known for having glitches, bugs and hardware issues on their first run of machines. I heard a couple people complaing abouth the knobs being to easy to spin. not loose or wobbly, but like frictionless guitar knobs. I think Behringer really did the work and put out a great synth, we'll see as more people get them, but I like what I've seen. I'm a really stingy cheapo, but I'm seriously considering getting one. Good stuff Starsky. Can't wait to see what elso you come up with the Wave.

[@basmatine]

Behringer is so ramped up/ backed up production wise (partially due to that chip shortage) that they keep releasing something more tantalizing than the thing they just released. For example, this thing just came out and they are pimping a bastardized Yamaha DX1 with CS 80 filters and multiple screens for editing. I’m waiting for the Casio CZ thingy they are working on, I know it’s a mini version but if the voice architecture is accurate I will be very pleased.

Excellent video, can’t wait for the follow ups, thinking about getting one.

[@MrSmithUK]

I’m amazed at how many of the presets are “typical” (& and quite dull) synth noises. The whole point of this synth is it’s wavetable synthesis and how well it can emulate the PPG. As a former owner of a PPG2.3, I’ll wait until I’ve seen & heard more from the Wave. We need to hear those sounds that use wavetables!

[@StarskyCarr]

I’m never very impressed by presets. I recorded a sounds only demo of a selection of them but wasn’t happy with the results. I’ll probably do something when I’ve created some of my own.

[@danielelston7457]

Definitely going to buy this in 2025 ❤

[@cooksoni.a]

Stairsteps in the waveform aren’t only accurately depicted in imaging, its also what they look like with low sample rate and bit depth. The cause of the stairsteps in the different cases are different so they end up sounding different, but the steps are what cause the higher frequencies associated with lo resolution digital sounds. Whenever you have a sharp edge in the time domain, you get higher frequencies. I think a lot of people saw that video from xiph “debunking” the stairsteps in digital audio, which was misleading because I'm pretty sure they were talking specifically about consumer digital audio products, trying to debunk the "analog is better" mentality. But you absolutely do have stairsteps in the waveform whenever you hear aliasing, quantization, and interpolation artifacts. And actually, there are many consumer grade products, mostly vintage tech, that produce the stairsteps. Just not like CDs and stuff... for the most part lol

Haha... OK ok I should have said 'almost'!

I think they get a lot of hate for nothing. They remind me of Beamdog. A game restoration company basically. They have remade or updated many old games. NWN 1 is being played to this day and it came out in 2002. My point is I think Behringer is doing the same thing with synths. Just keeping them relevant and modern. Nothing wrong with that.

[@brentsmith9411]

I have less of an issue with it when they're cloning machines that are long out of production, but they're also cloning modern synths that are still in production. There's no good excuse for that kind of predatory behavior.

[@hellorambo]

Great video, and I appreciate the tech talk. I have an (ultimately useless) question, but one that has been nagging me irrationally: are the number pad buttons and the right side buttons actual mechanical keyboard buttons, (switches/keycaps, etc?) Just curious, I'm in the states, so the Wave is still a couple months out, shipping-wise. I try to nudge the volume up at specific points on all the Wave demo videos so i can maybe hear the sound the keys make when pressed, but to no avail haha.

[@StarskyCarr]

Someone else has asked that, or at least mentioned the buttons. They feel like an old computer - maybe a little softer. There’s no definitive ‘click’ like I get on my 909 but I’m not sure if that’s an age thing or more modern keys are a little more refined. It sounds like I’m typing if that helps! 😀

[@hellorambo]

@@StarskyCarr It does help, thank you! Could just be a difference in whatever switches are under the keycaps, some are clickier than others. I just want to feel like I'm programming an MC-500 or something. Looking forward to your follow up videos!

[@goonfish]

​@@StarskyCarr yeah the lack of a click could just mean this Wave uses mechanical linear or tactile switches instead of clicky, which uses an additional mechanism on the stem or bottom housing - the same as it was in the past & today! If mechanical, the caps can be easily pulled off with a "cap puller", or even with your fingers/bent paperclip/light pry. Should have a crossed-stem that looks a "+" symbol.

[@neilloughran4437]

I remember seeing a PPG Wave 2 (not sure which version) in Dougies Music in Cheshire in the mid to late 80s... looked fantastic... and stuck out in the shop among the JX8P, DX7, Korg DW of the time... As I have a Waldorf Iridium I'm not sure this is for me.. but it does seem more direct in a way.. even if a bit cryptic. I'm feeling some more for the Waldorf M for some reason...

[@lundsweden]

6:30 I for one love digital aliasing! Behringer learnt from the ProVS mini, which initially was released with the digital aliasing turned off (or filtered or whatever). The newer versions of the firmware has the option of "modern" or "vintage" mode, vintage mode on my ProVS mini is permanently switched on!

[@StarskyCarr]

It’s much improved with that… but doesn’t quite do this. But now of course it’s got 5 voices!

[@lundsweden]

@StarskyCarr The Wave is certainly more desirable, but more expensive and takes up more space.

Wish I could afford 2 Marvins!)

[@StarskyCarr]

It was recorded raw, but the final mix had the Softube buss compressor (SSL style) and their Tape pushed pretty hard - trying to get an overall 80s sound. There were no other compressors on the tracks.

[@andreievkalupniek5717]

thanks for the great video! - I would love to see a comparison with the GS 3rd Wave -obviously very different price points - like you did with the OBX-8 and the UBX - to understand what the differences are and what you can do on the one that you cannot do on the other.

Just sold my Ensoniq ESQ-1 to get one of these and was wondering if I was going to regret it. Thanks to your video I'm now convinced I did the right thing, as that evolving drone piece at the end is something I don't think I could get the Ensoniq to do, at least nowhere near as easily!

[@SPAZZOID100]

The ESQ was sort of Ensonic’s take on this, but it ain’t no PPG.

[@chriswareham]

@@SPAZZOID100 The ESQ pioneered the ideas that the Korg M1 and Roland D-50 used, but what I prefer about the Ensoniq is the sheer number of things it had - three oscillators, three LFOs and four envelopes per voice. To get close to that on the M1 and D-50 you had to layer separate patches, at which point the ESQ's eight voices didn't seem so limited.

[@wrmusic8736]

I sold ESQ-1 to get M (which is basically PPG Wave - or rather Microwave - with some extra things). They are way too different and I do kind of miss that very special ESQ-1 sound that M doesn't have, but on the other hand M can do so much more when it comes to livening up the sound with all the modulation.

[@connor_flanigan]

you had a functioning ESQ1?

[@chriswareham]

@ At one point in the last decade I had a functioning ESQ-1, SQ-80, Mirage and EPS (I still have the EPS). The only problems I've ever encountered with them are tarnished key contacts on the early models like the ESQ and Mirage, and failed aftertouch on the later models. They seem to be as well built as Rolands or Yamahas of that era, but were possibly less carefully looked after as they were considered more "budget" instruments.

[@OneHalfOfBent]

We had a 2.2 and a 2.3, and I have to say, if the keyboard is not clunky on this, I’d rather have this than the original.

[@StarskyCarr]

The keyboards not clunky but not great. It depends on what you want to do with it. If velocity isn’t necessary - for most of mine it’s not as I’m doing electronic stuff - then this is great. If you want to play delicate parts with velocity sensitivity I’ve found it’s a bit spongy and I have difficulty playing quietly. It could be the velocity curve, but I think it’s the keybed… or my playing 😂 but overall it definitely feels better than my mates OG

[@Northern_Unicorn]

I had a lot of fun with the PPG in the 80s. But time and life has marched on, so today I would not bother, there are far more exiting things to make music with today. It was a pain in the A**s to not have midi in the 2.2, so it was always played live and was not used very much in the productions. Expensive thing that just collected dust as I remember it.

[@StarskyCarr]

If you like the tone but want a more modern interface and more options there’s always the 3rd wave. But yeah, this is definitely a homage to the OG. Some love the interface. I like that it’s different to other bits.

Question: Dear Mister Starsky Carr, I love your detailed and profound and enlightening reports, thank you very much.

[@andreasschmidt-r2z]

@StarskyCarr Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me so quickly ... but please allow one more thought: However, I wonder (even after studying the instructions) why the device has 8 individual outputs and MIDI mode 3 and why the device is touted as “multitimbral” on Behringer’s website.
