CLASSIC HERITAGE – MODERN SOUND

The 3rd Wave draws its inspiration from iconic digital wavetable synthesizers, but it reinvents the concept for the 21st century. Its sound is expansive, luxurious, and immersive, thanks to its extended wavetables combined with warm, organic analog filters.

It incorporates not only a Dave Rossum-designed 2140 low-pass analog filter with variable saturation, but also a second SEM filter with variable state (low-pass, high-pass, notch, and band-pass) to expand the possibilities for sound sculpting.
By combining them in series, you can achieve rich and complex harmonic textures.
