Common Groove Synthesis 3rd Wave Questions
How do I sync the 3rd Wave's internal sequencer and arpeggiator to an external MIDI clock?
In the Global Settings menu (accessed via the System button), set the 'MIDI Clock Source' to 'External'. Ensure your DAW or external sequencer is transmitting MIDI clock signals.
Where are my saved Patches (presets) and how can I back them up?
Patches are stored in internal memory. To back them up, use the 'MIDI Sysex Dump' function (found in Global Settings) to transmit the data to a computer using a MIDI SysEx utility.
How do I quickly browse through different wavetables?
Use the Wavetable select encoder and the associated 'Bank' button to navigate through different wavetable banks. Press the 'List' button to view all wavetables available in a selected bank.
My 3rd Wave is making strange noises or behaving erratically. What should I do?
First, try power cycling the unit. If the problem persists, ensure you are using the correct power supply and that the firmware is up-to-date. Contact Groove Synthesis support if problems continue.
What's the difference between the 'Classic' and 'Modern' modes on the 3rd Wave, and when should I use each one?
The 'Classic' mode emulates the character of vintage wavetable synthesizers, offering a more raw and aliased sound, while 'Modern' mode provides a cleaner, more precise, and less aliased wavetable playback. Experiment with both to find the desired sonic characteristics for your patch.
