PPG Wave 2.VOperation Manual 9 WaldorfCopying, inserting and comparing ProgramsUsing the COPY button, you can copy the current Sound into a clipboard memory andfrom here paste it into another Program slot using the PASTE button. This can e.g. beuseful, if you wish to quickly stack several Sounds of similar type in the Program menu,and play the slightly different versions. If the clipboard contains a sound, the COPYbutton lights up in red, until you have pasted it somewhere else.Please note that the clipboard can only contain one sound program at a time. If you useCOPY to copy a second sound into the clipboard, the first will inevitably be deleted.Provided that you have not deleted it by copying again, a Sound that you have insertedsomewhere using PASTE, remains to be available on the clipboard and can be pastedinto other Program slots.An edited and the original sound can at any time be compared with the Compare func-tion (CMPR). If you press the CMPR button, it lights up in red, indicating that Compare is active,and the sound changes back to its original settings. Pressing CMPR again, bringsback the edited version. If you hold down [Shift] while you press the CMPR button, the Sound will immedia-tely set back to its original settings and the edited version is abandoned. When Compare is active, you can get the same effect by simply changing the SoundProgram. Use one of these two methods if you are not satisfied with your editedSound. If you click on AKKU, then the selected sound is set back to its default settings. If you hold down [Alt] while pressing the AKKU button, a random sound is created(similar to the original PPG, which did this, when its internal battery was empty).You really should try out this function, as new interesting Sounds can be created thisway.MIDI FunctionsThe PPG Wave 2.V’s MIDI interface is more or less identical with that of most synthesi-zers. As soon as the MIDI connection is set up, the PPG Wave 2.V can be played acrossthe whole MIDI note range. Same as the original synth, the Plug-In can process mo-nophonic Aftertouch data, provided you use a keyboard that generates this data type.You can remote-control the PPG Wave 2.V controls using an external MIDI Controllerdevice (fader box) or a Master keyboard. MIDI Controller data can of course also becreated graphically or numerically in respective editors of the host. A table listing theavailable MIDI Controllers can be found on page 34 of this manual.Controlling the PPG Wave 2.V through the Novation RemoteSLCertain parameters of the PPG Wave 2.V can be controlled through the Novation Re-moteSL. The RemoteSL offers 24 encoders, potentiometers and sliders that can be map-ped on up to 72 different parameters.The PPG Wave 2.V is 8 times multi-timbral which means that it has far more than these72 parameters. Therefore, we limited control to the parameters of MIDI Channel 1. Thecorresponding controller list can be found on page 35.
