A powerhouse wavetable synth with custom wavetables and deep modulation.
The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave is a groundbreaking advanced wavetable synthesizer that empowers you to sculpt limitless tones from a palette of classic and modern waveforms. With 24-voice polyphony and four-part multi-timbral capability, it's like having four independent synths at your command. This potent combination allows crafting intricately layered and split sounds that come alive with expression and depth.
Dive Into an Ocean of Wavetables
At the core of the 3rd Wave lies a wavetable engine like no other. You can load and manipulate up to 64 custom wavetables created in the synth's own Wavemaker. Simply connect an audio source and generate complex wavetables from any sample at the push of a button. Each of the three oscillators per voice can morph between classic PPG-style waves, high-res complex tables and analog-modeled waveforms for a stunningly diverse sonic palette.
Precision-Tuned Analog Filters
While the 3rd Wave's oscillators generate lush, animated textures, its dual filters shape those raw materials into musical instruments. The first is a punchy 2140 analog low-pass filter designed by the legendary Dave Rossum, complete with variable saturation for adding grit. A second, SEM-inspired state-variable filter provides low-pass, high-pass, notch and band-pass modes for chiseling tone. Run both filters in series to unveil complex, harmonic-rich timbres.
Deep Modulation Playground
The 3rd Wave's 16-slot modulation matrix encourages you to push the boundaries of synthesis. With a wealth of sources and destinations at your disposal, you can coax the synth into uncharted territories of sound design. Animate filter sweeps, layer multiple envelopes or map a footpedal to wavetable position and more. The matrix is your canvas for creating dynamic, evolving patches full of expression and life.
Comprehensive Stage Bundle
This 3rd Wave package equips you with everything needed to integrate the synth into your live rig. The included Gator TSA-approved molded case keeps your synth safe during transit, while the folding Z keyboard stand ensures optimal positioning on stage. A Proline universal sustain pedal with polarity switching provides expressive control over held notes and crescendos. With these accessories, you can focus on delivering inspired performances night after night.
The 3rd Wave is a powerhouse instrument that unites the best of digital and analog synthesis. Dive into its seemingly infinite well of wavetables, shape them with world-class filters and modulation, then deploy them on stage with the included accessories. For sound designers and performing musicians alike, this synth is a portal to brave new realms of sonic exploration.
