My thoughts on the Behringer Wave (talking)

The new $600 Behringer Wave just released and it is turning heads in the synth community. My thoughts and comparing it to the more expensive but fully featured 3rd Wave.

0:00 - why I made this video
1:13 - what is the PPG sound and does the Behringer do it?
3:52 - can the Behringer wave do Binaural sounds?
6:15 - Behringer Wave vs. 3rd Wave
9:59 - the one thing you will 100% need to add to the Behringer
12:09 - let me know your thoughts in the comments

Great video. The decision is easy for me...
the 3rd Wave costs more than I paid for my current car, so I will be getting the Behringer Wave instead. 😅

I thought you would be showing the Behringer. 😒

Thanks for putting this video together.
This whole Wave craze makes me think that I shouldn't have sold my PPG back in the days.
Now, your 3rd Wave sounds sound solid, full and lush to me, which isn't a feel I got from the Behringer demo. Now, until I can hear both in the same listening environnement (which is unlikely to happen), I wouldn't make any final judgement.

Thumbs down on your video for commenting about a synth you don't even own. Secondly, comparting a $5K synth to a $600 synth is a joke. Unsubscribed.

The B wave sounds bloody amazing for the money. Always wanted a 3 wave, but far too expensive.

I’m tempted by the very low price of the Behringer Wave but I feel like my Iridium can likely create any digital sound I need.

The Behringer has two oscillators per voice, 8 voices, 8 independent outs which seems to indicate it can be 8-part Multi-timbral - I looked at the Behringer manual and it has a lot of keyboard modes and it also goes beyond the original PPG with wave smoothing and anti-aliasing, user wave tables and transients but no samples - it seems a really good value for the money.. The 3rd wave is 3 oscillators per voice, 24 voices and 4-part multi-timbral which is a lot more.

hi 3rd Wave is your favorite synth now ??? tell me...

[TikiLoungeZombie]

After getting my Waldorf M, and their Microwave software, I'm pretty much happy with wavetable action.

[audiosuy]

I usually like your videos, but this one is pointless.
What's the point of making a video expressing your thoughts on a synthesizer you don't own and only watched a couple of videos of?
I think you should get one and then give your opinion, until then it's just guesswork without the importance needed to make a video

[jamessjostrom]

I thought the OB6 was your favourite synth.

After studying the Groove 3rd Wave over the last 2 years and hearing the Wave my take is that the 3rd Wave is waaay beyond the basic PPG sound.

[ilovecatsandsynths]

I have to stop watching these, as they make my wallet cry. I got a TEO-5 and now I want a 3rd Wave or Behringer Wave.

Hi & tks for the video re: Behringer Wave synth. Fyi, I'm about to pre-order from L&M. I was wondering if you might consider creating patches for the B Wave?

[Gerald_Daniel]

So far I'm pretty impressed by the crisp behringer wave sound when "Enhanced Mode" is off what makes the true original sound. That were also the main argument. A comparison by Starscy Carr with a 3rd wave desktop with an old wavev 2 (comma something) didn't show a 100% unity to my ears. The old wave sounded a little brighter. Since I already have a (still) highly sophisticated microwave XT with 30 voice expansion, that is sonically largely indistinguishable from the hybrid Waldorf M (again Starscy Carr's comparison), the behringer wave would definitely be an option for me. According to the specs, user wavetables are possible. I assume the behringer app would manage the conversion & I'd be happy if you make a comparison video. Maybe you'll like the sound that much to even keep it.

Should be titled “My thoughts on the 3rd wave”

[reddragonrespect]

How useful Summit's WTs? I really like for soundsscape sort of stuff, slowly evolving. But when i compare it with my original microwave rev a Summit's WTs are little poor in terms of motion.

Just got the 3rd wave turning up this week

[halcyo]

The 3rd Wave is amazing, but that price tag is crazy for most in this economy. I've been begging Groove Synthesis to do a scaled down model for years- do one that is only bi-timbral, 8-16 voices, which would require less analog filter chips, and do a more basic 49 key design.

[classgrooves]

Excellent video! Very fair and informative. I’ll save up for the 3rd Wave (probably 4th Wave by then haha)
