We recently visited the studio of multi-talented producer, sound designer and musician Matia Simovich to learn more about his use of the Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 61-Key Advanced Wavetable Synthesizer.
The Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave 61-Key Advanced Wavetable Synthesizer is a hybrid synth which combines the classic digital wavetable synths of the past with an analog filter and modern technology. Inspired by the PPG Wave, the 3rd Wave incorporates the classic lo-fi 8-bit waveforms of the '80s, popularized by bands such as Tangerine Dream and Depeche Mode, with a new high-resolution complex wavetable and analog-modeled waveforms.
Key features of the 3rd Wave include 24-voice polyphony (3 DCOs per voice), a Dave Rossum-designed 24dB/oct 2140 lowpass resonant filter that offers variable saturation and customizable resonance compensation, an SEM-inspired state-variable filter and four ADSR+ delay envelopes, which include two custom envelopes that can toggle between exponential and vintage-style responses.
