same way as the SSM 2044 filter chip did in the original
PPG 2.2/2.3.

PPG users do especially like the typical sound
character that results from high Cutoff and Emphasis
settings. Caused by the combination with the
waveforms, the sound becomes extremely thin and
delicate.
DRIVE
Determines the amount of saturation that is added to the
signal. If set to 0, no saturation will be added or, in other
words, the signal will remain clean. Lower values will add
some harmonics to the signal, resulting in a warm
character. Increasing the value will bring in more and
more distortion, suitable for harder lead sounds and
effects.
w
Use the Drive button in the Panel section to change
the characteristic of the saturation from a hard
transistor distortion to a tube saturation.
Waves-Oscillator (OSC WAVES)
Waves-Oscillator controls the starting point of the
Wavetable (or a loaded Transient) selected in the
DIGITAL panel. If you want to create a sound that travels
through the Wavetable, then you should at least roughly
set the starting point in the desired Wavetable area. Keep
in mind, that the last four Waves 60 to 63 are the same in
all Wavetables, so that unwanted “jumps” can occur
during the pass. This method helps you to find the basic
character of the sound, to which a modulation (e.g.
caused by the LFO, the Envelope or by Key tracking) is
assigned.
When a Transient is loaded the startpoint of the sample
can be moved in steps of 128 samples. A value of 0 starts
the sample from the very beginning, a maximum value of
63 moves the startpoint to 8064 samples.
Waves-Sub-Oscillator (WAVES SUB)
Depending on the setting of the SUB-WAVES parameter in
the DIGITAL panel, the WAVES-SUB parameter selects a
certain waveform. Please find more information in the
section “DIGITAL Panel”.
