can e.g. use this function to assign different effects or EQ settings to Sounds in Pro-
gram mode.
DIGITAL Menu (DIGI)
The Digital menu lets you access the Wavetable parameters, their modulation,
Sound Layering and the Arpeggiator.
To open the Digital menu, press the DIGI button on the Plug-In panel. The button
lights up in red. Pressing it again lets you switch back to the analog user interface.
The next sections describe the individual functions in detail.
WAVETABLE 0...square
This parameter is used to select the Wavetable for both Wave oscillators. 32 different
Wavetables are available, as on the original PPG. The Wavetables are the PPG Wave
2.V’s driving force. To make sure that you fully use this power, you should familiari-
ze yourself with the sound and the characteristics of each Wavetable.
To travel through the Wavetables it is advisable to first initialize a popular Program
by pressing the AKKU button. Continuously hold down a key on the keyboard (prefe-
rably the note C4). Envelope 1 is programmed to slowly travel through all Waves of
the selected Wavetable (except for the last four “analog” waveforms). Change the
Wavetable to hear how the various Wavetables sound. You will find that they cover
a wide spectrum of interesting sound colours, including analog, FM typical or bell-
type sounds. If you wish to increase the “travel speed”, then decrease the Decay va-
lue of Envelope 1 correspondingly.
UPPER WAVES ON, OFF
In addition to the 64 Waves per Wavetable, Upper Waves are available. This is
another Wavetable, which provides another 64 Waves. Click ON to activate the
Upper Waves. The Upper Waves reside above the regular Wavetables and expand
the Spectrum of the Wave scanning. Only one Upper Waves “Wavetable” is
available and it is identical for all Wavetables.

The original PPG Wave 2.3 could only provide the upper Wavetable to the
Sound on the first Part. In the PPG Wave 2.V Plug-In UPPER WAVES can be ac-
tive on each channel.
SUB-WAVES OFF, OFFSET, DIRECT, ENV 3
Use this function to activate the Sub Wave oscillator. Four different settings are pos-
sible:
