PPG Is Back With W2.2 x 4 Dual Wavetable Oscillator
German synthesizer brand PPG is making an official comeback, in the form of a collaboration between Cornel Hecht (Hell Modular) and the Liquid Sky Artist collective.
The first release in this revival is the W2.2×4 Eurorack module, a 3U dual wavetable oscillator, featuring all the original wavetables from the classic PPG Wave 2.2 from 1982. Each oscillator is equipped with a sub-bass generator, overdrive, and a built-in VCA, which they say deliver “the classic PPG sound in a modern modular format.”
They add that the PPG W2.2×4 can sound extremely true to the original, or introduce new sonic nuances through its VCA/overdrive section.
The PPG W2.2×4 module will be available in two editions, both priced at $737.00:
- Limited Edition: Black front panel, strictly limited to 127 units. Shipping begins this month.
- Standard Edition: Blue front panel, unlimited production. Shipping starts before Superbooth.
*Note: PPG is a trademark of the Native Instruments Group, and the new module is branded as PPG through a licensed agreement with them.
