Born from one of electronic music’s most influential digital synth engines, this module lifts the complete PPG Wave 2.2 wavetable set into your Eurorack, then lets you push it into darker, more aggressive territory. The black front panel isn’t just cosmetic: this edition is strictly limited to 127 units, with no second black run planned, making it as collectible as it is playable.
Inside the 40 HP, 3U module you get two independent wavetable oscillators, each with its own sub-bass generator, dedicated analogue VCAs for main, sub and waveshaper signals, and a flexible drive stage that moves smoothly from subtle warmth to punishing distortion. Eight banks of 64 licensed PPG wavetables deliver everything from glassy digital shimmer to biting hybrid tones, with precise digital tuning across 8 octaves and a chromatic pitch quantiser for instant musical results. A special “Legacy Wavetable Crackle Mode” switches waves immediately on selection for intentionally glitchy, retro-flavoured timbres, while switchable LFO operation, CV inputs and optional GLITHc ExpendeR support invite deeper modulation and experimental “wavetable remix” patches.
Designed as a performance-focused sound source, the module offers independent outputs per oscillator plus the main, sub and waveshaper VCAs, giving you detailed control at the mixer or in complex feedback and processing chains. Ten onboard programme memories store complete setups for quick recall in the studio or on stage. Hand-built by Liquid Sky D-Vices in collaboration with Cornel Hecht, the PPG W2.2x4 Black delivers authentic PPG character in a modern hybrid architecture, wrapped in a rare, monochrome panel that will stand out in any rack.
