  • PPG Wave 3.V
    PRESS RELEASE • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE • 02/12/10 CONTACT For review samples please e-mail: [email protected] For Waldorf Music info contact: [email protected] PPG Wave 3.V Waldorf releases new soft synth plug-in Waldorf, GERMANY: Waldorf Music is proud to announce availability of its new PPG Wave 3.V soft synth plug-in as of December 2, 2010… The PPG Wave 3.V is a virtual recreation of the legendary PPG Wave series, arguably amongst the most coveted high-end synthesizers of the Eighties. Originally developed by Wolfgang Palm — famed for inventing wavetable synthesis (whereby groups of short, single-cycle waves can be swept digitally from one to the next — a wavetable in PPG-speak), their unique, groundbreaking sounds graced countless hit records that have since inspired a whole generation of producers, composers, and listeners alike. While a full-blown PPG Music Computer System originally cost somewhere in the region of a classy, luxury car — affordable only to a few top musicians and producers, now anyone can enjoy these still-unique sounds in their favourite VST or AU host DAW at a fraction of that price! In 1981, the PPG Wave 2 was the first digital wavetable synthesizer — an eight-voice, one-oscillator- per-voice affair — with analogue filters and VCAs; upping the ante to two oscillators per voice, the eight-voice PPG Wave 2.2 made history a year later with hitherto-unheard sensational sound patterns, thanks to its 32 wavetables with 64 waveforms in each wavetable, as well as awesome analogue sounds, brilliant bells, cathedral-like choirs, and other digital delights.

    ČESKÉ VYSOKÉ UČENÍ TECHNICKÉ V PRAZE Fakulta elektrotechnická Katedra radioelektroniky Nástroj pro pořizování dat pro wave table syntézu Wave Table Synthesis Data Acquisition Tool Bakalářská práce Studijní program: Komunikace, Multimédia a Elektronika Studijní obor: Multimediální technika Vedoucí práce: doc. Ing. Sporka Adam Ph.D. Aleksandr Kartavykh Praha 2018 2 Čestné prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem předloženou práci vypracoval samostatně, a že jsem uvedl veškeré použité informační zdroje v souladu s Metodickým pokynem o dodržování etických principů při přípravě vysokoškolských závěrečných prací. Dne 25.5.2018 v Praze ……………………………….. Podpis studenta 3 Abstrakt Tato práce se zabývá pořizováním dat pro wavetable syntézu. Je zde popsána základní problematika a aplikované principy. Práce zkoumá techniky digitální syntézy zvukových signálů v kontextu hudební produkce. Na základě výsledků byl vytvořen experimentální systém v prostředí Matlab pro pořizování a testování dat pro wavetable syntézu. Výstupem systému jsou vzorky hudebních tónů o různé výšce, barvě nebo délce. Výsledné zvukové vzorky byly použity v prostředí Native Instruments Kontakt pracujícím na principu wavetable syntézy pro tvorbu multiparametrické banky zvukových vzorků, která byla následně upravena a otestována. Klíčová slova: wavetable syntéza, hudba, zvuková banka, Matlab, Native Instruments Kontakt Abstract This thesis focuses on data acquisition for wavetable synthesis. It describes basic problematics and applied principles. The thesis concentrates on techniques of digital synthesis of audio signals in the context of musical production. Based on the results, an experimental system was created in the Matlab environment for the acquisition and testing of data for wavetable synthesis. Output of this system are samples of musical tones of different pitch, timbre or length. The resulting sound samples were used in Native Instruments Contact environment which uses the wavetable synthesis principle to create a multiparametric sound bank that was subsequently modified and tested.
