At NAMM 2025, we caught up with Bob from Groove Synthesis, who introduced us to the *Third Wave Desktop*. This compact version retains the core features of the original keyboard, including its processing power, 24 voices, analog filters, and all 8 outputs. While the control set had been slightly abbreviated for size, it still maintained ease of access through button controls for oscillators and effects. The price point also provides a more budget-friendly option. Since our last encounter, Groove Synthesis had integrated additional features, such as the inclusion of sampling capabilities. The unit allowed 35 seconds of sampling and supported up to 12 samples simultaneously, processed through the synth engine. Bob also highlighted the Prophet VS engine addition. With 48 wavetable positions, this was a nod to the Sequential influence in its design history. *More Info:* https://www.groovesynthesis.com/ |--------| Thanks to our Show sponsors: U-he - https://u-he.com SoundToys - https://soundtoys.com Soma Synths - https://somasynths.com Expressive E - https://expressivee.com We're Using Røde Go Mic III https://rode.com/en/microphones/wireless/wireless-go-gen-3 Sonicstate https://patreon.com/sonicstate Subscribe to Sonicstate on YouTube for new content! http://bit.ly/SonicYTSub Watch Sonicstate's Exclusive Series: Sonic LAB: http://bit.ly/SonicLab Sonic TALK Podcast: http://bit.ly/SonicTalk Website: https://sonicstate.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/#!/sonicstate Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wwwsonicstate Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sonicstateuk Podcast/iTunes: https://goo.gl/4uOFA5
