Groove synthesis 3rd Wave Desktop Module
The 3rd Wave Desktop Module from Groove Synthesis is a revolutionary hybrid wavetable synthesizer that combines the best of analog and digital in a compact and powerful form factor. Designed for the most demanding musicians, it offers 24-voice polyphony and a 4-part multitimbral architecture, allowing for unmatched sonic flexibility.
At the heart of this module are 3 digital oscillators per voice, capable of generating classic waves and more modern shapes, while integrating the legendary 32 8-bit wavetables of the PPG2, a true jewel in synthesizer history. With the ability to create up to 64 user wavetables, each table can contain 64 waveforms, your sonic potential is unlimited.
Dave Rossum's signature analog low-pass filter, combined with the state variable filter, lets you sculpt your sounds with incredible precision, while the 4 ADSR+ envelopes and 4 LFOs add a dynamic dimension to your creations. You can easily synchronize your oscillators and use linear FM to further enrich your sonic textures.
To enhance your compositions, the 3rd Wave has two digital effects processors offering a wide range of classic effects, from Chorus to Ring Modulator, to breathtaking reverbs like the Super Plate Reverb. A sophisticated sequencer and an integrated arpeggiator allow you to create complex multi-part pieces with ease.
With its 41 potentiometers, 43 buttons, and 500 customizable presets, you will always have total control over your creations. Finally, on the connectivity side, it offers all the options you need: line outputs, USB MIDI, pedal input, and much more.
Lightweight, rugged, and incredibly versatile, the 3rd Wave Desktop Module is the perfect tool for professional musicians looking to explore new sonic territories.
