PPG WaveMapper is the second next-generation iOS based synth from Wolfgang Palm, who in 2012 released the PPG WaveGenerator to critical acclaim from both press and public.

In final development the PPG WaveMapper offers iPad users a second synthesiser to compliment the already loved PPG WaveGenerator from Wolfgang Palm. PPG WaveMapper allows the user the opportunity to create limitless sounds from this unique and powerful new technology.

PPG WaveMapper features the Sound Map, which maps the various sounds in a way to easily access and experiment with them, more importantly the PPG WaveMapper features a new synthesis system which maps the waveforms of a sound into a new kind of wavetable which preserves the sound characteristics better than classic Wavetable synthesis and at the same time allows for the manipulations which make WT synthesis so unique.

The Mapping window is the visualisation of a pool of programs on which "modules" float. Those modules represent certain parameters of the synthesiser engine and each module can be placed on one of 32 programs. The moment an item is placed on map then the parameters of that module will take on the settings of those parameters in the underlying program on the Mapping window.

People who do not posses synth-programming skills can use this mapping technology as a starting point to create complex sounds. For example a user can drag a string sound source onto a drum envelope, or a guitar sound onto a string envelope - the concept is simple, yet incredibly powerful.

Power users can delve deep into the back end of any sound using a full set of professional features;

New Sound map concept - create new sounds playful and experimental
3 types of synthesis - the optimal type for kind of each sounds
Classic wavetables - for the typical PPG sounds
Time compressed samples - more authentic sounds, allowing analysis of
user samples
Pure samples - classic sample playback
Analyzer - convert your own samples into the new format or into
wavetables
3 oscillators capable for totally independent sound sources
90 sound resources - a huge sound palette, from real instruments to
abstract wavetables
4 parameter editor pages - comfortable and detailed access to all the
parameters
3 Noise generators, for audio and modulations
Classic 24 dB Lowpass Filter, combined with an overdrive simulation.
Dual amplifier, for versatile control of 2 audio signals as well as panning.
13 Envelopes, for independent control of pitch, waveform, filter and noise
gain and panning
4 LFOs - with 5 waveforms
Delay/Reverb effect
Flexible Step Sequencer / Arpeggiator combination
Schematic touch keyboard - Build your own keyboard, with the keys you prefer for your music.
Powerful sound browser - sorting by category, bank management
Virtual and Hard-MIDI in/out - sending/receiving keys and controllers.

Sounds a lot like that old PLEX VSTi, which I really liked a lot. I think this is gonna be another awesome Synth. Instant buy when it's out!

Just got this. Very nice. A ton of sound making potential. Also reminded me I hadn't bought PPG WaveGenerator yet. So got that one too.

Convert your own samples to this format? I'm so in on this!

I just got Grain Science and Live FX, so I'll have to pick this one up next month, but I REALLY DO WANT IT!!!! :-) I don't buy any synths that don't have Audiobus built in, so I'm really glad that this one came with Audiobus in it! :-)

I purchased this today. So far I'm impressed with the sounds. Some of them remind me of the classic BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is great :D

Bought it yesterday and this one I get along with way better then Wavegenerator which I never really could wrap my head around. The sound map may be a "shallow" way of rolling your own presets but hey it works so who cares. The underlying parameters etc seems a bit easier to work with, so I'm definitely gonna be using this one a lot more then WG.

By the way, if you own Wavegenerator you can import all the banks/presets into WaveMapper, it's in the manual but easy to miss.

Interesting! I wonder if they are basically the same synth engine with different GUIs.... You don't get complete bank/preset compatibility for no reason...

They may share some things in common but they are different enough to warrant having both for sure. I found that they become very powerful when used in tandem.

I like it.
But I have a problem with the arp.
When the arp runs I cannot stop playing it.
Is it possible that the arps stops playing when I don't play a key?
I have the same problem with Wavegenerator.
Can anybody help me?

Only Wolfgang can help you with that "feature".
It's like he didn't realize how people use arps or something....

---The arps are like the Everready Bunny, they keep going and going and going! I wrote to them about this and they didn't seem to think it was a problem...
