Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave: The Renewal of Wavetable Sound
The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is a hybrid wavetable synthesizer that combines the wavetable heritage of classic instruments with modern technologies to create a powerful and versatile instrument, designed for both analog sound purists and modern sound explorers.
An impressive sound engine
With 24-voice polyphony and a 4-part multitimbral architecture, the 3rd Wave allows for limitless sonic creativity. Each voice is powered by 3 digital oscillators, offering endless possibilities for sound design. The synthesizer integrates 64 user wavetable positions, complemented by 32 original 8-bit wavetables from the legendary PPG Wave, and a set of 7 modeled analog waveforms, including the Sine, Sawtooth, and the famous Supersaw.
Power and flexibility of modulations
The 3rd Wave excels in the field of modulation with its 4 ADSR+ delay envelopes and its 4 LFOs capable of generating a variety of waveforms (Triangle, Sawtooth, Square, Random, etc.). The modulation matrix with its 16 slots per part offers maximum flexibility for a deep and intuitive sound design.
Quality analog and digital filters
The 3rd Wave integrates high-quality analog filters, including a low-pass filter designed by Dave Rossum, and a state variable filter, allowing you to sculpt sounds with surgical precision, whether they are soft and organic sounds or more abrasive textures.
Built-in effects for creative sound processing
The effects possibilities are vast thanks to its 2 digital effects processors. These offer a variety of options such as stereo delays, tape delay, hall or plate reverbs, as well as modulations such as chorus, phaser and flanger. Creative effects such as ring mod or rotary speaker are also available to enrich your creations.
A powerful sequencer and arpeggiator
The integrated sequencer allows you to create complex pieces with up to 4 multi-timbral parts per program, and up to 24 sequences per piece. An intuitive arpeggiator is also at your disposal to add dynamic rhythmic variations to your sounds.
A user interface dedicated to performance
The ergonomics of the 3rd Wave are designed to promote live performance and intuitive creation, with its 77 knobs and 39 buttons on the front, giving you total control over all critical parameters. Pitch and modulation wheels, combined with a 61-note semi-weighted Fatar keyboard with aftertouch, make this instrument as enjoyable to play as it is to program.
Full connectivity
The 3rd Wave has all the connections needed to integrate into any studio or live environment. It features 8 line outputs (4x stereo), a headphone output, MIDI In/Out/Thru ports and a USB MIDI port. Two pedal inputs (sustain and volume/expression) add an extra dimension to your playing.
Robust and portable
With a built-in power supply compatible with all voltages (100/240 V), the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is designed to be used anywhere in the world. Compact, it measures 978 x 362 x 127 mm and weighs 12.3 kg, making it easily transportable without compromising its robustness.
Conclusion
The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is the perfect tool for musicians and producers looking to explore new sonic territories while still enjoying the warmth and depth of classic wavetable synths. It combines the power of modern digital synthesis with the authenticity of analog filters, creating a unique and versatile instrument.
