Behringer Wave Hybrid Wavetable Synthesizer
The synth tide has turned courtesy of Behringer. A long-awaited hardware revival years in the making, the Wave hybrid synthesizer conjures the electrifying wavetable glory of the 1980s’ iconic synth legends, from the solitary compositions of Jean-Michel Jarre to the atmospheric, cinematic efforts of Tangerine Dream. Capable of both classic 8- and 12-bit wavetable synthesis and 8-voice layering, synthesists have soared through limitless multitimbral tones, all achievable and manipulable by period-correct controls and an authentic analog signal bath based on traditional circuitry. Further loaded with impressive modern upgrades, including individual voice outputs, expressive CV/Gate and MIDI connectivity, and full stereo width control, the Wave’s creative possibilities are only bound by your creative wit. Not sure where to start? The Behringer Wave’s 30 onboard factory wavetables and 200 built-in user presets are sure to provide a formidable start to imminent wavetable exploration.
Jump into an ocean of sonic exploration
Authorized by 49 full-size velocity and aftertouch-equipped keys, the Wave’s onboard wavetable generation boasts traditional wavetable synthesis control, bolstered by an analog signal path based on the original unit’s VCF and VCA designs. Likewise, two ADSR envelopes, an AD oscillator pitch and wavetable position envelope, and an onboard LFO make way for users to shape, bend, and develop any tone to perfection, all while providing manual wavetable control, stereo width control, and a dual arpeggiator engine for limitless melodic and sequencing potential. To boot, each of the eight voices is configurable in splits, layers, and unison modes, arming you with the utmost flexibility.
Equipped to accommodate any creation space
Though conceptually tied to the ’80s, the Wave is ready to integrate with your pre-existing gear no matter the complexity of your stage or studio workspace. Full MIDI compatibility, expression and sustain pedal inputs, and onboard CV/Gate and Sync In/Out connectivity offer familiar expression and control. Additionally, the Wave’s eight voices have dedicated audio outputs, allowing you to manage and mix voices independently for even more expansive sound possibilities. Above all else, the Wave’s familiar front-panel layout and controls are a breeze to navigate and are equally as accessible whether you’re performing in the spotlight, recording in the studio, or conjuring up sounds at home.
