Behringer WAVE – Hybrid Wavetable Synthesizer The Behringer WAVE is a modern hybrid wavetable synthesizer inspired by the legendary PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3 from the 1980s. By combining digital wavetable oscillators with analog filters and amplifiers, it delivers an authentic, organic sound with plenty of character. This instrument is designed for musicians, producers, and sound designers seeking the iconic retro vibe with cutting-edge functionality. Key Features The WAVE offers 8-voice polyphony and can be used in split, layer, or unison modes. It includes 30 factory wavetables, 64 user slots (each holding 64 waveforms), and 32 transient slots, providing nearly endless sound design possibilities. Importing user wavetables is easy through the SynthTribe app, opening up an extended range of creative options. Unlimited Sound Creation The WAVE features an advanced modulation system. It comes equipped with three envelopes (two ADSR and one AD) and an LFO with four waveforms plus delay. With its modulation matrix, up to 10 sources can be routed to 6 different destinations, allowing for flexible and experimental sound shaping.
