Wolfgang Palm has announced PPG WaveMapper, the second next-generation iOS based synthesizer by Wolfgang, which allows the user the opportunity to create limitless sounds from a unique and powerful new technology.
PPG WaveMapper features the Sound Map, which maps the various sounds in a way to easily access and experiment with them, more importantly the PPG WaveMapper features a new synthesis system which maps the waveforms of a sound into a new kind of wavetable which preserves the sound characteristics better than classic Wavetable synthesis and at the same time allows for the manipulations which make WT synthesis so unique.
PPG WaveMapper features
- New Sound map concept – create new sounds playful and experimental.
- 3 types of synthesis – the optimal type for kind of each sounds.
- Classic wavetables – for the typical PPG sounds.
