"Introduction
This interview appeared first on http://www.amazono.de in German. I (Hans Heerooms) translated it in a rather free way... It tells the story behind the Waldorf/Steinberg Wave 2.x VST Plugin. Notice : This translation is not autorised by Amazona or Wolfram Franke !
Amazona:How did the idea arise to make the PPG Plugin ?
WF: In September 1999 I moved from TSI to Waldorf : I was a productspecialist at TSI and became a software developer for Waldorf. I managed to make this move because I already made the Waldorf D-Pole in 1997 : so Waldorf had a clear idea of my “credentials”. Just befor my move Steinberg had published the specifications of VST 2.0 : And for us at Waldorf it was clear we should do something with it. We had a meeting with Mert Ergün from Steinberg to discuss what a Waldorf VST synth should be like. Mert came with the idea for a PPG synth . At first we didn’t like the idea : making a PPG instead of a real Waldorf synth. But still Mert was that fascinated by the idea for a PPG that he ‘infected’ also Frank Simmerlein : one of Steinbergs’ graphic designers. Frank jumped behind his workstation and made a 3D PPG rendering. When we received this picture by E mail it hit us like a bomb : any doubt was gone and we were going for the PPG !"
