What is it?
Groove Synthesis first hit the headlines a couple of years ago with its frankly astonishing and very headline-grabbing 3rd Wave synth. That monster keyboard (and module) is an homage to the mighty PPG Wave, a ground-breaking wavetable synth developed by Wolfgang Palm in the ‘80s. With 24 voices of polyphony, four parts of multitimbrality, and four engines – that not only emulate the original PPG but add analogue and new waveforms – we concluded that 3rd Wave is very much more than a v3 PPG, and is actually close to the top of the synth pile in the 2020s.
