Okay, let"s say you somehow tracked down a genuine vintage PPG Wave synth. Understand that this bad boy (the first digital synth!) cost about TEN GRAND back in the early "80s. Gulp. But, never fear; you can get those totally awesomely classic sounds - and more, at a head-turningly down-to-earth price, with Waldorf"s super-cool PPG Wave 3.V software synth. It works, looks, and sounds like the original, for a teeny, tiny sliver of the original"s price. Oh, and get this: Waldorf added a whole bunch of features to the PPG Wave 3.V that owners of the original would give their diamond-encrusted Bentleys for.
