3rd Wave Analog Core Synth Soundset

I've made hundreds of sound designs on this great synth, using all the various engines, including PPG, modern wavetables and the new sample engine -- but this sound set is focused entirely on the hybrid analog / VA capabilities of the synth. Dozens of famous song tone patches are included, and classic analog sounds inspired by legendary vintage synths: Sequential Prophets, Oberheim OBs, Roland Jupiters, Yamaha GX and CS, and Moogs,plus modern sound designs that take advantage of the extensive capabilities of the 3rd Wave.

The sound set is available here:

The patches inspired by famous artists/songs include ones by:  Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, MUSE, Tears for Fears, Toto, The Cars, Boards of Canada, Prince, RUSH, Daft Punk, M83, Stranger Things, Blade Runner, Harold Faltermeyer, Foreigner, Journey, Duran Duran, Simple Minds, Talk Talk, Van Halen, Thom Yorke, Radiohead, Steven Wilson, Adam Holzman, Michael Jackson and more.

The demo video features about half the patches included in the soundset... there are 50+ more patches as well!   The sound in the demo video is direct from the synth, using only onboard 3rd Wave effects, and no external effects added.   The drums in a few of the demos are from a Roland TR-8S.

Nice work Jason! 👏🏻👏🏻 these sound great!

[askji]

Lovely tones there, thank you for sharing!!

[analogkid-fgzo]

These patches sound great. Nice work! 🔥

[ConductiveIRL]

Great sounds as always. How do you like the synth overall? Anything you don’t like about it?

[pitcapasso]

this polysynth is incredible. i have a PROPHET10, an OB6 and an UDO SUPER6 and now i would really like this one too. but obviously i can't afford to spend 5k euros again. if i had to decide to sacrifice some of the synths i listed, which one could i sell? honestly i would have serious difficulties getting rid of the PROPHET10 and OB6, while i would make less of a fuss about the UDO SUPER6. if i could i would keep them all, but they are not toys. they cost a lot. these four synths together are worth a new car. anyway, this 3rd wave sounds really good. it has that sound texture that i like so much, and it is very powerful. i always choose my synths based on a very personal taste and i really like this synth. is it possible to recreate mellotron sounds? i suppose so because i read that it imports samples... Thank you!

These sound excellent! Great demo. I'm considering selling my Prophet 5 and picking up a 3rd Wave. It seems like 3w can do all the Prophet type of sounds plus much more. Have you compared the two? Any thoughts?

[RoadhawK]

i personally went for the UDO Super Gemini but i may pick up one of these later, it sounds stellar! Do you still have the Pro3?

[DankePlace]

Will this work on my Akai Timbrewolf ? Asking for a friend!!!

[RoyChartier]

Why use a digital synth to recreate an analog one?

[jensrachuba-psqb]

There is nothing really new . Many other synths can do the same to a cheaper price.
