Relive the iconic sound of 1980s synthesizers with the Behringer Wave 8-voice multi-timbral hybrid synthesizer—a modern recreation of a legendary wavetable synth used by artists like David Bowie and Tangerine Dream. This powerful instrument brings the vibrant, vintage tones of classic 8- and 12-bit wavetable synthesis into your studio or stage rig, allowing you to layer up to eight different multi-timbral sounds for lush, evolving pads and captivating leads.

Flexible Classic Wavetable Synthesis

At the heart of the Wave is a bank of 64 classic wavetables complemented by 64 fixed sub-oscillator waveforms, giving you a vast palette of iconic 80s tones to shape. With eight highly configurable voices at your command, you can craft everything from thundering basses to shimmering bell tones and evolving atmospheric pads. Two ADSR envelopes let you sculpt the characteristics of each wavetable, while a dedicated sub-oscillator position control allows for nuanced sound design.

Expressive 49-key Velocity-Sensitive Keyboard

The Wave's 49 full-size keys offer the perfect balance of expression and playability. Thanks to velocity sensitivity, every nuance of your playing dynamics is translated into the sound, allowing you to add emphasis and articulation. Aftertouch functionality further expands your performance options, enabling you to modulate sounds in real-time for swells, vibratos and other performance gestures.

Integrated Polyphonic Sequencing and Arpeggiators

Take your compositions and performances to the next level with the Wave's built-in polyphonic sequencer and dual arpeggiators. Program intricate rhythmic patterns and evolving melodies, then bring them to life with the arpeggiators' up, down, up-down and random modes. These creative tools open up new avenues for spontaneous inspiration on stage and in the studio.

Wave 2.2 and 2.3 Modes for Authentic Vintage Character

To truly capture the essence of classic 80s synths, the Wave offers dedicated 2.2 and 2.3 modes that faithfully recreate the original's iconic 8- and 12-bit character. From gritty analog warmth to pristine digital clarity, you can dial in the precise flavor of vintage tone that suits your music best.
