Behringer’s Wave synth – inspired by the classic PPG Wave Hybrid synthesiser from the ’80s – is now reduced over at Thomann, and here’s your chance to get it for less than £500.

The budget gear brand launched its Wave synth back in 2024 after four years of development, and it replicates the unique architecture of the PPG Wave 2.2 and 2.3, known for their wavetable synthesis capabilities. The original can be heard across multiple classic records as it was embraced by huge artists like Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Rush, Gary Numan, and Tangerine Dream.

Behringer’s take on the Wave is an 8-voice multi-timbral hybrid synth equipped with 16 digital oscillators, each of which can draw from 30 original factory wavetables.

This more compact, modernised version hosts 64 user-defined wavetables, each containing 64 waveforms, along with 32 user-defined transients. You can also import your own wavetables and transients via the SynthTribe app.

In other Behringer news, it recently launched the BMX, its clone of the classic Oberheim DMX drum machine. The release landed hot on the heels of its take on the Roland Juno-60, the JN-80, which landed a week prior. It had been a long time coming, as a BMX prototype was teased all the way back in March 2023. The original DMX was first released in 1980, and featured on beloved records including The Police’s Every Breath You Take and Madonna’s Holiday.
