Waldorf PPG Wave 3 v1.3.2 [WIN & MacOS]

The PPG Wave 3.V is the reincarnation of the legendary PPG Wave, one of the most popular high end synthesizers of the 80s, originally developed by Wolfgang Palm.

While back then it was your choice to spent your money either for a vehicle or the PPG, — now everyone can enjoy its breathtaking sonic character in their VST or AudioUnit host. During the development of the PPG Wave 3.V we received extensive consultation by Wolfgang Palm to ensure that the PPG Wave 3.V becomes a worthy successor of this adorable jewel of the art of German engineering.
