The main part is a wavetable synthesizer (PPG Wave 2.2
or 2.3). Here's
how to upgrade the awful wave keyboard!
Here's
how to save/restore sounds on your computer via MIDI!

|
To generate your own wavetables for the Wave or to play any kind of
samples there's the Waveterm. |
|
Since the Wave has only 8 voices, the EVU can add
another 8 voices to the system.
Up to 2 Waves and 2 EVUs can be attached to a Waveterm, leading to a
system with up to 32 voices.

The wave doesn't have a dynamic keyboard. To make up for that, there's
the Processor Keyboard PRK. |
|
The PRK can - in its maximum configuration - load a set of natural
sounds (strings, piano, etc.) into a Wave 2.3 or EVU, but it has no MIDI. Its
successor, the PRK-FD, allows to use the complete
PPG System Library of sounds with the Wave and EVU, and it can be used as
a MIDI master keyboard. |
|
The HDU was far ahead of its time. Its features
included things like hard disk recording to an 80MB hard disk, DSP based
algorithms. |
|
The Expander could add tape backup and a
second hard disk to the HDU. |
