Amazing synth !! Great for learning about FM synthesis. Sounds great, is built well, and is a ton of fun !! Get one of these as your first synth, and you will be hooked for life !!
This is such a great synthesizer !! Has all the classic D-50 presets, as well as all the soundcards built in !!
One of the best boutiques, as it is a digital synth replicating the sound of a digital synth, apposed to a digital synth replicating an analog synth, so the sounds are pretty much identical to the actual D-50.
As much as I love analog synthesizers, and just hardware synths in general, I think this is my favorite sounding synthesizer. The sounds are mind blowing, and its just an awesome wavetable software synth. I usually shy away from using software but this is another level of awesomeness that I could not resist. For pure analog bliss I would have to say the Oberheim OB-XA, and the Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 are the two greatest sounding analog synthesizers of all time, with the Minimoog coming in right after. As for digital synthesizers I think the PPG Wave, and the Roland D-50 are the greatest of all time, with the Yamaha DX7 coming in third place. Waldorf offers a free 30 day trial of this synthesizer so try it out and see what you think. The PPG sound isn't for everyone, but I personally love it. PPG purists may not be that excited, but for the vast majority of enthusiasts who don't have 10 to $20,000 lying around for the genuine article, this will do just fine. Thank you Waldorf for this great synthesizer, and the biggest thanks to Wolfgang Palm for creating the PPG wave, and Wavetable Synthesis.
