Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave - Desktop

The 3rd Wave is a powerhouse wavetable synth with 24-voice polyphony and 4-part multi-timbral capability that’s like having four independent synthesizers at your fingerprints.

Each of its 3 oscillators per voice can be

• A classic PPG-era wavetable
• A high-resolution complex wavetable
• An analog-modeled waveform

Create up to 64 custom wavetables of your own using the built-in Wavemaker. With sample-to-wavetable capability, you can connect an audio source to the audio input and generate a wavetable at the touch of a button.

 CLASSIC LEGACY, MODERN SOUND

• While the 3rd Wave has roots in the classic digital wavetable synths of the past, it takes that concept into the 21st century with a lush, expansive sound that’s a product of its expanded wavetables and warm, organic-sounding analog filters

• It boasts not only a punchy, Dave Rossum-designed 2140 analog low-pass filter with variable saturation, but a second, SEM-style state-variable filter (low-pass, high-pass, notch, and band-pass) for additional tone-sculpting. Run both filters in series for harmonically complex textures.

4-PART, MULTI-TIMBRAL

• With 24-voices, the 3rd Wave has enough power for the most note-intensive performances. And that polyphony really comes into play with its ability to layer up to 4 independent parts or split zones — each with a completely different sound, sequence, and dual effect.

• Each stereo part has independent panning, volume, and a dedicated stereo physical output.

MODULATION MATRIX

• The secret weapon of any synth is its mod matrix, and the 3rd Wave doesn’t disappoint.
• With 16 assignable slots, 12 additional fixed-source slots, 27 sources, and 114 destinations, it has the flexibility of a modular.

• And all of this power is per multipart. That means up to 4 independent layers of sound, each with its own mod matrix.

SEQUENCE NOTES, SONGS & PARAMS

• The 3rd Wave’s sequencer is an inspiring tool for both composers and sound designers because it is pattern-based and can sequence notes, songs, and parameter changes.
• For composing and performing, enter notes and chords in real time with or without quantization for maximum groove and arrange up to 24 patterns of up to 32 measures in length into songs just as easily.
