Vintage Synths Vol 1 - PPG Wave
German synth historian Matthias Becker produced a CD series back in 1990 with tracks made with one synth only. The CDs were named "Synthesizers Von Gestern Vol 1/2/3". This track was recorded at Originalton West Studio / Köln.

  • Whether you like this synth or not, its sound was definitely a departure from that of the many analogues that dominated the music scene of the time. I think it had a welcome uniqueness that was only accompanied by CMI and NED. Please no flaming. I love analog, but I think everything has its place.

  • it's a damned shame that this this is the only demo of this synth on all of the internet

  • Great old synth.

  • This has always been on my wish/Lust list

  • @subby33 No! Depeche Mode used the PPG NOT very much! I have all the PPGs and I know all the possibile sounds.

  • Nice lamp stand you have there!

  • Some PPG sounds are good, but I would prefer the Yamaha DX7.

  • Did Tangerine Dream ever used this synth? Some patches sound familiar

  • What a great instrument. Just bought a version for OSX /) (\ 

  • @carriersignal: I don't care about analog or digital as long as the synth produces good sounds. There were many crappy analog synths out there, people tend to forget that.

  • The Dr Who adventure "Timelash" incidental music was played on a PPG wave by Elizabeth Parker. The sounds used are harsh and sinister. Hear it all on "30 years of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop" CD and on YT . Their PPG broke down later on.

  • @UnchainTheNight1 No it's NOT!!!.
