🚨 OS Version 2.0a for all three 3rd Wave models is now available as a free update, and it's the kind of release that gives you new sounds to chase the moment you install it.

The 3rd Wave has come a long way since it first came out, capable of things we never dreamed of at launch. With this release, we have decided to move our OS version forward to 2, and we are excited about these latest improvements under the hood that now unlock even more possibilities compared to where the 3rd Wave began.

Did you know there is a full pattern sequencer built into every 3rd Wave?

In Episode 2 of Patching In, Bob Coover breaks down the 3rd Wave sequencer: record patterns in real time, automate your k**b moves alongside the notes, and string patterns into full songs.

Did you know that every program on the 3rd Wave is really four synths in one? 💡

In Episode 1 of Patching In, our new series, Bob Coover breaks down multi-parts on the 3rd Wave: stack them into big layers, split them across the keyboard, build huge stereo/binaural patches, and sequence a whole arrangement from a single program.

While the 3rd Wave is capable of so much more than PPG-style wavetable synthesis, it does it extremely well. Here’s Amazona’s Christian Uhlig sharing his thoughts about the differences compared to a Wave 2.2 at Superbooth 2026.

What happens when two self-funded companies with a shared love for crazy ideas find each other?

Dan Parks of Sound Semiconductor makes the analog filter chips inside the 3rd Wave. His company got the old team back together to design custom silicon for the kind of products you see at NAMM, in a market that any VC would call too small. Sound familiar? 😏

Bob spent over three years during the 3rd Wave's development calling Dan, starting with the 2144, then discovering that the 2140 had everything he was looking for: the right sound, a built-in tempco resistor, and the ability to do resonance compensation. No-brainer.

Dan's words to Bob at NAMM: "We love working with you guys. What you've done here is phenomenal." The feeling is mutual. Two independent companies, one shared philosophy: make what you believe in.
