20:45 is out of "Murder of love" by Propaganda, 23:23 "Love on a Real Train" by Tangerine Dream (Risky Business Soundtrack). Lovely and well done. This thing is amazing.
1.the sound is WOW WOW WOW a true ppg on steroids, INSTANT BUY for me 2. the developer transmit true passion, knowledge and trustable 3. honest price 4. the most beautiful synth in the last 30 years million thnx for ving brought the ppg back
Mr Coover has an impressive pedigree, having done DSP work for Digidesign, Activision and Sequential for the past few decades. The ML-assisted waveform construction feature sounds very neat!
Well ...it's really good, not a masterpiece, sorry. It's basically a 16 bit cpu capable of reproducing really good sound at 96kz. I do like the design, and literal forest of knobs, but compared to these days ($4000), it's nothing more than a glorified Amiga from the 90's.
What a great synth! The sounds are fantastic, the utility is fantastic, and, it looks like the build is beautiful and robust. I did not know I needed this synth until they created it. Wow.
Man this guy has so much passion. I really felt it when he said he misses dave and he would get chocked up if he went there. Great video and nice insights of his work with Dave Smith / Sequentials DSP work including the great Prophet 12. One to watch for SURE!
What a super nice gentleman. You can tell he just lives for this. Unfortunately, I don't think I have anymore room to get any other instrument, neither physical or financial. Bought too much stuff this year already. It's a nice instrument, though
This synth seems incredibly flexible, having so many features, modulation, effects, and voices. It maybe wont cover a true analog sound but could probably do anything else your heart desires. Likewise, the user interface has nicely dedicated controls that arent skimping on size. Amazing!
This really is pretty awesome if they manage to deliver it ultimately. 5 octave Fatar keybed, knobs that transmit midi, 24 voices with a SSM filter etc. Really great value for money. Would be nice to hear some more demos.
Bob is very impressive, from the way he explains information about this device to his career history. He's definitely had a very productive life so far.
Awesome video from an inspiring creator -- just put in my pre-order. Very impressive instrument and really impressive price/performance ratio. Can't wait to get my hands on one!
How'd it sound in person. Like the depth, complexity of the sound. Did it sound thin or lacking in the bass dept? You think you could make some gnarly sounding bass leads with this? And lastly what was the keybed like - semi-weighted or? Did it have any aftertouch functionality? Thanks man. Bet NAMM was fun. What else there jumped out at you and made you check it out more?
@@patrickmichael2968 I bought one immediately. It is prophet VS level depth of sound. The most impressive sounding modern keyboard I've heard in years: I own a matrix 12, obxa, prophet vs, jupter6, mks80, voyetra 8, SX400, Alesis Andromeda, etc. Buy one.... Now Keybed is fatar and definitely felt semi weighted. The built in keybed features channel aftertouch, but it supports poly AT via midi. Everything jumped out at me, foremost the SOUND. But it does so much more: 3 osc, 4 part multitimbral, add your own waves via analog input, 24 x SSI 2140 analog filters, wave surfer, masterpiece! Nothing else at the show compared.
Knowing very little about wave table synthesis and only seeing Junky XL explanation of the PPG, I thought this was a beautiful demonstration. Nerdy, passionate, and humble….. just like i like it! Wonderful!
Sounds amazing. I wonder if Michael Stein / Kyle Dixon have one of these. There are a few cues in the new season of Stranger Things that sound very PPG-esque.
Bob is such a nice and smart guy! In every video he is full of respect for Wolfgang Palm and Dave Smith, always has warm words for them! And he should be very proud on this 3rd Wave masterpiece they built. I‘m completely addicted. I have to buy this synth, even it‘s not really affordable to. Me, but I will find a way to buy it! Sry for ma crap english, I‘m a Kraut!
I like how they moved away from the standard Prophet 5 black buttons w/ the red LED and all manufacturers should pay attention to that display you can actually read from a few feet away. Nice job
Great stuff. After the other demos I'd heard, and especially J3POs, I'm pretty convinced I'm going to buy one of these as my flagship synth. Even more convinced now that I see this demo with the designer behind it. Actually, it's very on point using the modern computing know-how to make wavetable creation easy. It's really one thing that holds hardware wavetable synths back. Also, the specs I'd seen were so well thought out. And now I see somethings even better, looping envelopes, binaural splits. And that there can be four inputs into the synth engine, filters etc ... With this, a modular, and a sampler you could cover so much ground. I'm keen to hear how good the DSP effects area, especially the Hall Reverb. But, with outputs for each part, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker if they are more in the ballpark of DSIs effects, than Novation, Arturia, or Sinevibes say. But, I'm hoping they can compete with the latter three. Because, a PPG homage deserves a beautiful lush reverb. Another thing I'd like to see is super smoothly morphing wavetable scans and even clouds/swarms, like in Synthesis Technologies e352 cloud terrarium module.
This video has REALLY pissed me off. A whole month. I've gone a whole month without wanting a new synth. A month ago I bought a MODEX and thought this is it. No more synths needed. I was happy and completely satisfied for that whole month. Then I stumbled across this. Now I want one of these.
Modernized PPG synth ticks all the boxes for such a synth from my want-list. Definitely going high up on my shopping list, which was already getting long enough to give my missus a frowny emoji. What a time to be a keyboardist. Edit: Bob Coover is very reminiscent of Amos Gaines from Moog when they rolled out the Sub 37. Get the guy who knows the tech guts to talk about it so you can better appreciate the sounds coming out of it later and what the gizmo is doing to make them.
That's just a silly comment. Like there's some finite time limit on these things. There isn't, nor have Behringer, to my knowledge, promised this particular clone by any date. Criticize them all you want but there's no need to make up random stuff up.
@@EnervatedSociety It's not made up. They didn't promise, but they definitely teased a 4 octave Wave clone, and they consulted with an expert, but I forget who it was. Supposedly it's in the pipeline, but the world situation has changed timelines and logistics, obviously. They never promised anything, or offered any timeline.
I was thinking something similar. This steals the delicate sound of thunder produced by Behringer’s clone tease and ups the PPG capabilities impressively. Still, Uli’s gizmo will fit more people’s budgets and be a happy addition for a lot of folks, eventually.
@@GizzyDillespee they never promise, because theses teases are just test balloons for them to see whether there is enough interest for a real product. They tease something and then monitor the forums and social media. If there is enough buzz, they continue the project. If not, it probably never sees the daylight….
@@GizzyDillespee "Another classic poly synth clone, that Behringer couldn’t realize" is the made up part I'm talking about. And the person you're referring to is likely Hermann Seib. I know that Behringer had a working prototype they shared pictures of back in 2020. In that same post they said they were nowhere near a product release.
Talk about hitting it out of the park. This is a hell of a synth. Pretty much everything about it is awesome, but just one of the things that stands out is the filter section. Great choice in the state variable filter with the SEM-like functionality (continuously variable from LP--N--HP, or bandpass). This kind of functionality should be included more. So many times when someone even says their module/synth is/has a filter "based on the SEM," it doesn't have that functionality (I think the Division 6 Filtare SEIII seems awesome, for example - 4 pole filter with discrete design based on SSM 2040, but with those SEM-like features). But are they analog? Or just the SSI LP filters? He mentioned 24 analog filters, but if both (per voice) are analog, that'd be 48, right? And of course, having an OG Wave mode that keeps the aliasing and everything, and the new mode, plus the super easy custom wavetable creation that can even use audio going directly into the synth, and the great UI, and all the mod options - so good. It's out of my price range, but that's to be expected; that kind of price just comes with the territory, and it seems like he's unsure if they'll even be able to keep it at that price, heh. I will say, a "cut down" version in the future with maybe 6 voices and a smaller form factor and keyboard (or a desktop module, which I'd prefer - or both) would be pretty cool in the future. Semi-long comment, but this is such a cool machine, it probably warrants it, heh. They did a great job, and I hope they sell tons of them (I'm sure they will)
@@scalebrain643 That was a good thought, but I checked the site, and it says 24 voices. Interestingly, it refers to the lowpass filters as analog multiple times, but not the state variable filters. So unfortunately, I think they may be digital (I'm not positive, though, of course). Still a cool synth if so, but yeah.
20:45 - Wow. One of my favourite Propaganda track sequences, The Murder of Love from the album, Secret Wish - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kzt2iSNyN8Q.html
No, Wolfgang Palm is not involve in any way. If you talking about, Hermann Seib He was never involve with the original PPG, He built a software for it 20 years after the company closed and been hired by Berhinger. First Berhinger publish he joined their development team, afterwords they publish he said "it sounds like a PPG" like he is "non involved and objective". Pathetic.
Very intrigued by this! I had the poor man’s wavetable with analog filters in the ESQ-1 and it could cover so much ground. If they load this up with great useable yet unique patches at launch - look out!
This sounds glorious. Why not link up with Arturia and put this out as a vst? They are still missing a PPG model, so it would be the perfect step ahead addition.
Oh yeah another maybe if I sold my car synth... Looks and sounds great but I kinda need my car to fill with $5 a gallon gas and drive to work so I can buy more gas to drive to work.
Now this is impressive. I like the ability to load audio into it. Is there a way to see the waveforms morphing? I'm a big fan of that visual information.
@@shane864 I remember you as reactor303. I still talk to a number of people on FB that are still doing synth things. I just bought a Korg 700FS and Lexicon PCM 91, so my synth game remains strong! :)
I wonder if they're going to make this the only color, or if they're going to offer different colorways. For some reason I see this as all white, with gray and black stencils/knobs, maybe some red accents. I really like the synth, but I'm not a blue and black type of person. I know that's a popular colorway, but it's always kind of clashed in my eyes.
