Behringer Wave Product Specifications.

The Real Thing

The Behringer Wave clones the looks, features, and classic sound of the legendary PPG Wave 2.2 / 2.3.

Authentic Vintage Chip Design

The PPG Wave revolutionized hit songs when it was introduced in 1981; glassy digital sounds with a sweet analog filter took pop music into new territory. The PPG Wave 2.2's legendary SSM2044 filters have been cloned in the new Behringer Wave for that classic true analog sound that is simply unobtainable from a plugin.

An Affordable Price

A high-quality build in a space-saving footprint, all at an affordable price compared to the original PPG Wave, with a estimated retail price of £439/€499/$669.

Specifications

The Wave utilizes authentic cloned circuits from the legendary 1982 PPG Wave 2.2 / 2.3, with the synth capturing the unique digital/analogue hybrid sound of the PPG heard in many classic tracks from the '80s and onwards from popular acts including Duran Duran, Rush, Tangerine Dream, Gary Numan, and Depeche Mode. The classic 2044 filters were also made popular in the Korg Polysix, Mono/Poly, Akai SP-1200 and Fairlight CMI II.
