Does the PPG WAVE 3.V sound at all close to a PPG Wave? Could be useful to me for 80s sounds but ehhhh, I could probably use the money on Audiothing's "Outer Space" or put it towards getting a the Korg Wavestation and M1.

Yes it is. It has a number of the original 2.3 presets included.

With some help I was able to get the dead spit of the wave choir sound used by Robert Schroder.

If you want the closest thing to a PPG I think it's it. Generally I've been able to get closer to that sound than using say the Microwave 1.

Got it! Excellent
Thanks OP

For free plugins, I would get "J37 Tape or Infected Mushroom Pusher or Abbey Road Vinyl or API 550" instead of Kramer Tape.

H Reverb is awesome by the way, good choice.

I just noticed that WORLD CARNIVAL PERCUSSION is available through Plugin Boutique's reward scheme.
It cost you 1 token for this brilliant (i have it) sample pack. Actually it's one of my favourite sample packs i've heard.

It costs $ 27,49 (inl. loc. VAT)
If that’s same as 1 token, I would be surprized.

Thanks for the heads up. I am mostly interested in the individual hits and the Kontakt sampler instruments. Are they useful on their own without the loops?

No problem. I would say yes the individual hits are nice. I haven't used the Kontakt instruments.

Beware, don't buy Waldorf PPG Wave 3.V. It's completely useless abandonware. Presets are garbage and boring.
There're NKS presets but... are not working at all.
Worst spent money for softsynth ever.

really? I was sort of looking at is as I really like Largo.

Largo is a good one. PPG Wave 3.V on the other hand is more of an acquired taste. I have to admit that I never got it either. Was the first synth I ever uninstalled. You probably need to have a certain tolerance towards the quirks of the of the original hardware in order to be able to appreciate it.

Hmm. maybe I might skip PPG then. I wound up checking the Lector demo while looking at that site today. Lector sounds amazing. Hope that goes of sale. I aint paying $100 for it.

https://audioplugin.deals/lector-a-trem ... y-waldorf/

It was on sale for $35 in September so I'm sure it will come around again

Yup! An acquired taste indeed. But it has the PPG sound which is old school digital. I worked with it in the eighties and there are most definitely some of those sounds in this box. If that is what you are after then it's a really good deal.
It's based on a classic so why would you call it abandonware when there's nothing to change?

I just bought it. My first impression is it's great!

Me too. I did Pendulate OSC. I wouldn't have bought Generate for $100. I thought Eventide/Newfangled wouldn't mind.

Me neither. It's something refreshing and lovely chaotic... But not 100€ refreshing.
Just hitting randomize and waiting for something useful is quite working. Already started 2 track ideas with it
