Wolfgang Palm has officially announced PPG WaveMapper 2 for Mac OS X and Windows
The software synth was first released as an iOS app. PPG WaveMapper 2 is a greatly expanded version, with many new features, including the WaveMap and new resource merging possibilities.
PPG WaveMapper 2 comes with a very flexible synth engine, capable of playing material from classic wavetables as well as samples and a new type which Palm calls “Time corrected sample” (TCS). This type still has the advantage of wavetables, which is totally random access of the material, but preserving the sound of the original sample.
PPG WaveMapper 2’s three oscillators have independent control of the sound resources and access of the material. Each oscillator has its own WaveMap with up to 16 zones, filled with any combination of the resources. The control of the zones can be done by the keyboard, which he calls Multi-tabling, or by a path that determines how the engine plays back the material.
Here’s a sneak preview:
