PPG Wave 2.V by Waldorf.
Waldorf Music and Beat Magazine are giving away Waldorf Edition LE, a great bundle featuring PPG Wave 2.V, Waldorf Attack and D-Pole filter VST plugins.
Together with Waldorf Music, Beat is giving its readers the full version of a very exceptional plug-in collection consisting of PPG Wave 2.V, Waldorf Attack and D-Pole filter.
To get your free copy of Waldorf Edition LE, visit Beat Magazine’s website and register. After submitting your registration, you should receive an email with instructions for activating your licence. Once that’s done, you’ll receive your registration number and download links (EDIT: special thanks to KeyD for spotting an error in this part of the article).
Now, I’ve registered and downloaded the plugins, but sadly they won’t work on my DAW. I’ve also noticed similar reports from other people on KVR Forums. Basically, it seems that that Waldorf Edition LE simply won’t work on some computers, while it works normally on others. Please let me know how it works for you!
A HUGE thank you to bmovie for sending me info about this! Big ups man, I wouldn’t have found out about this giveaway otherwise (even though I still can’t get it to work, arghhh!).

PPG Wave 2.V works fine, D-Pole filter works fine and Attack works fine but crashes Reaper by unloading.
ahh, that’s very close to my own setup! i honestly can’t figure out why any of the plugins won’t work here.
Ok, once I said it in my first post that Attack crashes Reaper by unloading and the other two plugs work fine I tested it again in Jeskola Buzz (Build 1468) and Polac vst 1.1.10 (build 24). Now Attack works fine and quite stable. It is strange, isn’t it?
OS: Win XP SP3, DAW: Ableton Live Lite & Jeskola Buzz
All 3 plugins working fine in both hosts
BTW, Beat Magazine are giving away more free stuff, a 6 synths pack that includes DUNE LE & Synapse Audio Junglist , scroll down the page till you’ll see the ad that says “GRATIS Studio-Starter-Kit 6 Synths fur immer!” and click on “Zum Download” , give them your e-mail address and they’ll send you the download link :)
any idea why I cant get the link to download properly? every time it finishes the file is at half the size and wont unzip because its corrupt
i have no idea, it’s downloaded fine here (yesterday)
hi Basso, try using a download manager like FDM for example. the download went without issues here, but whenever i have trouble downloading a certain file, i use a download manager.
Also note that almost all this bundle is for Windows users. The only plugin for Mac in the bundle is Dune LE.
thanks so much for all the great info, bmovie! i’ll check out the 6 synth pack tomorrow morning. cheers!
i forgot to give the link http://www.maclife.de/beat/magazin/kuenstler/dj-interview-thomas-lizzara
I received the mail from beat.de with activation instructions, but not download info. Waldorfmusic.de offers updates only in download section. My german is of course far from best … cough. I misunderstood something?
you should fill the Coupon Code that beat sent you here (alongside your details):
http://www.waldorfmusic.de/en/le-activation.html
then Waldorf will send you the download link & the activation key
Thanks. It worked. The article created a confusion, please fix it ;).
“To get your free copy of Waldorf Edition LE, visit Beat Magazine’s website and register. After submitting your registration, you should receive an email with download and activation instructions.”
One glitch though. Entering validation code didn’t work with Chrome, argh! In 2012 I still have to keep 3 browsers installed! Firefox worked fine.
ahh, you’re right, i’ve fixed it now. the first mail only points to the activation page. cheers!
All work perfect here in FL Studio 10. Thanks.
oh man, i’m the only one who can’t get it to work! NOOOOOO!
What are your computer spects and system?
i’ve tried it on 3 different machines, although all three are running Windows XP. are you on Win7 perhaps?
either way, it works now, after i followed tico-tico’s tip to manually edit the registry.
Install Microsoft Windows Visual C++ 2005, 2008 and 2010. Now i’m working in a secret synth betatest and i needed to install it to make it work. Good luck mate :)
Win 7 x64, Fl Studio 10, Reaper 4.
Seems fine here.
BTW I really think bmovie’s link to the starter pack deserves it’s own thread! That’s quite a pack of stuff, All really usable.
yeah, that other pack seems awesome, i’ll check it out ASAP and create an article about it!
OS: Win7 SP1, DAW: Reaper 4.25, Intel i5 750, 4GB RAM
Everything works fine, nice bundle.
cheers!
i ve downloaded the file, during the install only dpole and attack are set to be installed. In S1 they don’t show up.
in my case, all three plugins are installed, but they’re crashing every VST host on my machine.
after some digging nothing is installed in librairies (mac)
you mean you can’t even locate them with a host program?
No i ve done launched the install program and every thing is ok according to the program but no files are written into the libraries.
i even opened the bundle and launched the individual installer (i see the ppg installer) no luck either.
So if some one can provide me the component file or vst it will be greatly appreciated
Mac install works fine here (10.6). Note that plugins are not 64bit though. All three plugins seem (I can’t make any noise here) to work fine in 32bit Studio One 2.
cheers! i don’t know much about Macs, but that’ll be good info for people who do.
I’ve tested them in my REAPER, and everything works fine.
With a bit of tweaking you can get some nice sounds out of it. OTOH, I wouldn’t upgrade to the full edition for 49 euro… There are some better synths in this price class.
ok, i’ve tested PPG Wave V.2 now and really like it so far. not sure if i’d pay the full price, but it’s a nice synth.
The only downside is that the presets have no name or description, but Waldorf said: “The sounds in this sets don’t have descriptive names because the PPG Wave 2.3 didn’t offer naming of sounds.”
All 3 working well in Studio One, Windows 7.
cool!
Running Windows XP SP 3 and all 3 crash every host I’ve tried (4).
I notice they don’t actually crash until you open the GUI. I was able to open one in generic UI/paramater view without crashing so it’s clearly GUI related.
Is it possible they’re expecting some runtime or something to be installed? I didn’t see anything mentioned on Waldorf’s site, but developers sometimes pack things like that into installers set to self install (Sonar for one) and don’t bother mentioning it as a requirement.
the exact issue was happening on my machine! i followed tico-tico’s tip to manually edit the registry and it works now (scroll down the comments to see the tip).
-Crashes Logic 9 on OSX 10.6.8 very very badly
-Can’t input activation key in MU.LAB
Its been a pleasure giving you my details WAldorf. Don’t sell them all at once.
hi Bontenburg, try the registry editor tip provided by tico-tico below. worked here!
2Tomislav
Try to manually add your email and serial to the registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Waldorf\Waldorf Edition]
“Email”=”fi****@mail.ru”
“Serial”=”WMLE*****U83WH”
serial WITHOUT dashes.
It works for me.
WOW, that actually worked! i’d never figure it out myself, thanks so much man!
for anyone needing a step-by-step guide:
1) Open your START menu, click on “Run”, type “regedit”, hit ENTER.
2) Browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Waldorf\Waldorf Edition]
3) Right-Click >> New >> String Value
4) Name it “Email” and enter you email address as value data.
5) repeat step #3 but name it “Serial” and enter your serial without dashes.
BIG UPS tico-tico!
Wow, thankyou so much. I’m amazed that worked.
same here, big ups tico-tico!
hmmm interesting! I’ll try it soonish!
good luck!
did you get this to work on your mac Bonteburg. Of so could you enlighten me
Cheers
What a joke.
Never experienced a crash like this in Studio One 2. (WinXP SP3, Athlon X6 1045T, 4GB RAM) Don’t they test these things before giving them out?!?!
this is always the same with waldorf products, i´ve bought the largo its the slowest gui in the world. i will never buy any product from them.
I tried the registry fix outlined above and it fixed everything right up. I missed the bit about removing dashes from the serial# at first and it won’t work without doing that so it’s worth emphasizing the point. Thanks very much!
I’m plesantly surprised at how good the PPG sounds, it’s like suddenly having all the incedental music from Babylon 5 at your fingertips.
This synth every time crash on whatever host (i have information about access violation, adresses…)
This is only LE version so i can forget about it.
By the way, why not to download a demo and then to decide buy or not to buy…?
On Windows 7 64, Live 8.3.3 crashes when i load any of the Waldorf Edition LE plugins. Bummer!
The registry fix worked! In Windows 7 the reg path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Waldorf\Waldorf Edition
Just add two new strings: Email and Serial. Enter your email address and activation code WITHOUT dashes.
Thanks tico-tico!!!
Crashes in Win7 64 live 8.3.3
not even showing up in regedit :(
ahh, that’s bad. perhaps try re-installing and running regedit again.
Having the same issue. reinstalled 4 times, still not showing up in regedit. running live 8.2 on win 7 64 also. wtf…
sorry, i can’t help much there since i can’t re-create the issue on my computer.
are you absolutely sure you’re following this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Waldorf\Waldorf Edition
?
Hi,
I think, for Windows 7, the Waldorf registry keys must have the total control autorizations for the user.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Waldorf
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Waldorf\Waldorf Edition
After this, the plugin don’t ask me the key/serial again.
Bye
Some amazing sounds produced by this. awesome
Works nice in Reaper 4.30 on my Aspire One laptop with Win7.
wow !!! Works for me with registry tip !!!
Thanks to Tico Tico and Bedroom Producers Blog
