WAVEMAKER TOOL
Built-In Custom Wavetable Maker
“Sample-to-wave” functionality. Connect an audio source to the 3rd Wave’s Audio In port, press “Make Waves” and the synth samples the audio to create a custom wavetable
Samples to convert can also be brought in as a 96 kHz wav file through USB

Accepts pitched or un-pitched material as input
96 kHz sampling rate
16-bit resolution
1024 cycles per waveform, converted automatically to cover entire keyboard range
Flexible wave-sampling length
SEQUENCER

1 song per multi-part
24 sequences per song
32 measures per sequence
Variable quantization resolution per sequence (32nd, 16th, 8th, quarter, half, whole note, or quantization off)
ARPEGGIATOR
1 Arp per Multi-part
Up, down, up/down, and assign modes
Variable range (1, 2, or 3 octaves)
MOD MATRIX
16-slot Modulation Matrix Per Multi-Part
16 slot modulation matrix with 27 mod sources and 114 mod destinations
12 additional fixed-source mod paths
Modulation assignment buttons enable quick and easy modulation routing
Mod Matrix runs at audio rates
Sequencer can record and play mod parameter changes in real time
CONTROLS

Precio sobre 3.700$.
Precio un poco alto, aunque las especificaciones son interesantes, pero con matices:
Los osciladores básicamente son del tipo wavetable y las ondas analógicas las justas. No hay modos de oscilador nuevos, excepto que tiene FM lineal que si que le da un plus. Son 48 wavetables de usuario con 64 ondas cada una.
Una especie de PPG Wave 2.3 del 2022 aunque hay soluciones digitales que por precio no se yo..
Eso si, el diseño me encanta.
