The 3rd Wave 8M maintains complete patch compatibility with the 24-voice 3rd Wave models, allowing users to integrate the 8M into existing setups or upgrade to larger models in the future. The user interface focuses on performance-oriented controls while utilizing a larger, more intuitive display for sound design capabilities.
This isn’t a watered-down version of our flagship 24-voice models. The signal processing chain, analog electronics, and the sound are the same as on the 24. The 8M just makes the 3rd Wave experience accessible to musicians, sound designers, and producers who don’t need the full scale system.
The 3rd Wave 8M continues the Groove Synthesis tradition of combining vintage inspiration with modern capabilities. While the 3rd Wave has roots in the classic digital wavetable synths of the past, it takes that concept into the 21st century with a lush, expansive sound that’s a product of its expanded wavetables and warm, organic analog filters.
