Waldorf Edition: PPG Wave 2.V

This is one of the first software synthesizers I purchased and the reason I bought the DirectiXer VST-DX wrapper to use with Sonar. The interface looks great and it is one of the VSTi’s I pull up to impress people with the current state of music software. From every magazine review I read this is a very accurate emulation of the original hardware PPG2. I wish I had heard a real PPG2 before buying this soft synth. To be honest, I just do not like the sound. It may be accurate and many people may praise it but it is just not for me. Frequently I pull it up and try to find sound I like but I never use it in a song. With patch names like “Factory ’84 106” it is difficult to remember what those patches sound like from day to day. This is just one person’s opinion but listen before you buy.
