7 high-resolution modeled analog waveforms (sine, saw, triangle, supersaw, pulse, white noise, pink noise)

VCO sync

Linear FM

6-stage wave envelope per oscillator with variable time and position that can be looped

Optional wave flow section that allows for no wavetable as well as no waveform interpolation

Upper wavetable mode as with the original PPG 2 series

Dave Rossum designed, classic, 2140 low-pass resonant filter

24 db per octave slope

variable saturation amount

optional resonance compensation

12 db per octave slope

Continuously variable between low-pass, notch, and high-pass, operation with optional band-pass mode

Filter, Amplifier, plus 2 additional envelopes switchable between exponential and vintage PPG-style response

Freely assignable to multiple modulation destinations

Triangle, sawtooth, reverse sawtooth, square, pulse 1, pulse 2, pulse 3, and random (S&H)

Variable delay

Note reset

Syncable to master clock BPM

BBD, stereo delay, tape delay, chorus, phaser, flanger, distortion pedal, rotating speaker, ring mod, room reverb, hall reverb, super plate reverb – most modeled on famous hardware devices

Syncable to master clock BPM

Parameters modulatable via mod matrix

“Sample-to-wave” functionality. Connect an audio source to the 3rd Wave’s Audio In port, press “Make Waves” and the synth samples the audio to create a custom wavetable

Samples to convert can also be brought in as a 96 kHz wav file through USB
