The PPG Waveterm A is one of the hardest PPG products to get. This unit is in amazing condition and has had some modifications made to it. We can’t really describe the sound and potential of this unit on one page, we would need much more. It is simply a state of the art device that offers amazing sound manipulation capabilities even by today’s standards. The sounds are either digital waves or samples. The sample library has been loaded with unique acoustic sounds. The sequencer is stunning and truly advanced. In some ways it even surpasses the Fairlight CMI! Nothing sounds like it, or at least tries to, but fails. We recommend you try it out in person and see for yourself. The waveterm A is sought after by many and still used in top studios around the globe. About 50 units or less were made and even fewer are still in working condition today. Don’t miss this opportunity to own something very special in your studio.

Description

This mutant computer terminal, cleverly disguised as an industrial video game, allowed you to create new waveforms by specifying points on a graph or sampling acoustic sounds. The resulting waveform could be displayed on the Waveterm’s CRT screen for Fourier analysis. The microprocessor chip used in the original Waveterm (which later became known as the ‘Waveterm A’) was a 6809. The Waveterm A had 8-bit sampling for WAVE 2.2, an 8-inch floppy disk drive, wavetable creation, a built-in sequencer, and patch storage on floppy disk.
