I remember my first time with it. It was Big. It was Blue. It could sound warm and dreamy. It could sound like a clangy disaster. It was a BRILLIANT synth.

[danilohenrique]

and about the demo tape called PPG Wave System from 1984, out of all the synth demos this is the coolest

[Da-Freaks]

wolfgang palm is a true genius. he had a significant influence on the sound of the 80s🎹🎹🎹

OMGGG 1:50, I LOVE that song! Mystic Rhythms

[marcom.]

Tangerine Dream muss den wirklich viel benutzt haben - klingt total nach deren Sounds. Und ein Sound hat mich auch an Vangelis (The City) erinnert.

[DX]

2:16 wave beat is my fav (and 15:04 with the choir)!. Always nice to check this video out again. Excellent demo, and excellent PPG synth

[DX]

Excellent. Fantastic wavetables on the PPG Wave. Unique sound.

[marcuspatzer]

Fantastic Video my dear Friend ❤ Best Regards & a nice Week 😊 Marcus ✨🕊️🙋‍♂️🎹✨

[soriacx]

Never enough PPG on youtube, never. It's just too good a synth 🙂

And although there is an official Wave 2.3 VST available, I'm still missing a proper version of the waveterm. I wonder if Waldorf will ever come up with one, then I could afford my old dream synth combination, the kind I would have bought in the 80s if I ever had the money.

Oh Yes! I can hear something resembling the intro of Propaganda's Frozen Faces!
Oh no! I discovered another synth I want!
And those choirs and stab sounds..8 poly.. you're killing me. Wait, what?! Sampling too?

[stephenhaynes]

Yeh i guess Geddy Lee used this a fair bit between 84 and the late 90s. probably sampled it and played from a yamaha kx master kbd and depeche mode i can certainly hear plenty of those sounds there in there stuff. nice video !

[christophercassel]

Sorry, aber der PPG flashed mich jedes Mal… natürlich auch wegen der hervorragenden Demonstration😊 vielen Dank dafür

[synthfluencer]

Fantastischer Synth, sehr sehr coole Demo! 👍👍

[michaelmitchell]

Fantastic synth, well ahead of its time and a great bit of Germany engineering too. Also this was a sampling synth too and before Emulator. I love the way you show close ups of your synths, one thing I really love about your channel, You involve your audience into the experience. Great sounds this synth makes and so advanced for 1982 and still holds its own today in my eyes. As always love your channel and love seeing new videos. Have a good day and hopefully see more great work from you. Thanks for your time you put into doing this and sharing with us.

[StationStation-dugh]

This is excellent. As a 3rd Wave owner I really watch a lot of the PPG 2.x material that gets released. This compilation of your work is especially great. I didn't know TFF used one and I haven't ever picked up on it in their music of which I've owned since new vinyl in the 80's. I'll keep an open ear. There is a sound you make at 10:23 and 10:33 (same stab). Do you recall the wavetable this was?

[spotlight-kyd]

Too often, IMHO, when listing artists having used the PPG Wave, people neglect to mention Marillion / Mark Kelly (Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood) and Chris De Burgh / Rupert Hine (The Getaway). These are some of the best selling albums of the 80s.

[Hour.Of.The.Night.]

Thank you very much, I enjoyed it. It helped to relax.

[dessiplaer]

Wonderful demo! What a great sounding synth!
