Short #Demo of 7 #factory and #custom PPG #sounds reprogrammed on the #GrooveSynthesis 3rd Wave together with my friend #TillKopper. Till is the frist owener in #Germany with a 3rd Wave and he lives only 20 km from my home. So we meet regulary to play synths. We tried out how the 3rd WAVE is capable to adopt the classic #sound of the #PPGwave. I have a 2.2 in my #studio and it was quiet interesting, hard at the same time to recreate some #classic PPG sounds on the 3rd wave. Our impression is, that they can sound very close. The PPG wave has some mistakes in the sound which made it #legendary, so over the whole #keyboard the sounds are different with aliasing in higher octaves an brizzelng in deep registrations. It is very hard to get this effect on the 3rd wave, but we think that the guys from Groove Synthessi did a great job to get the 3rd wave as a succeedor of the old PPG. The demo is without any FX or mastering. The sounds you can #download #free for the 3rd wave here: https://till-kopper.de/3rd_wave/3rd_Wave_PPG_Sounds.zip

A #joke brilliantly told by #legendary #Trinidadian #stand-up #JohnAgitation
“A 9yr old boy asks his Father…what is #politics?”
#MaxHeadroom was a #legendary #AI #character from the 80s. In 1987 however, a somewhat more #controversial version of him appeared on Chicago TV at 9:14pm. Rather than a comedic and exaggerated host, this version was a weirdly unsettling #hijacker, and the #incident became known as the Max Headroom Incident. This #hack/ #hijack/ #intrusion is something that has fascinated me for years, so here, I decided to cover the whole debacle.
