PPG 1002 SPECS
2 analog oscillators with transpose switches and mixable waveforms from triangle to saw Oscillator 2 also offers square wave and a sub-oscillator Oscillator 2 can be synchronized Noise generator for audio and modulation A ring modulator can be switched on instead of the noise generator Routable LFO with pulse and triangle waveforms 24dB low-pass filter with resonance Voltage-controlled amplifier 2 easy edit envelopes Switchable modulators for each module, allowing for an almost modular-like routing CV and MIDI inputs external precision low noise power supply.
The recreation of PPG's "last fully analog synthesizer," the PPG 1002, was unveiled at Superbooth 25. The instrument sounds completely identical to the original and at the same time is equipped with a set of modern functions.
German musician Cornel Hecht led the project to recreate the PPG 1002 together with Wolfgang Palm, the developer of the original synthesizer and the head of PPG Synth (formerly Palm Products GmbH). How long it took to recreate the instrument's circuitry is not specified.
The PPG 1002 has two oscillators and a four-stage filter (24 dB/octave). According to the description, the second oscillator can operate in sub-oscillator mode and generate an additional, extra-rectangular sound waveform. The oscillators have a synchronization function.
The synthesizer has a noise generator that can create an audio signal and modulations and be used as a ring modulator. The LFO section has extensive routing options and supports two sound waveforms. It also has switchable modulators for each module.
The instrument retains the CV/Gate connectors and simple front-panel design for easy operation. Additionally, the model is equipped with MIDI ports for integration with external devices.
According to Wolfgang Palm, the reissue sounds identical to the original. The creator of the instrument notes that no more than 100 copies of the PPG 1002 were released during its existence, making it quite difficult to create a modern copy — finding the instrument in good condition was problematic. Hecht and Palm note that this is not a hypothetical project — a modern PPG 1002 exists in fully functional condition.
The recreation will be made to order, with the instrument costing €9,999. Half of the amount must be paid immediately upon ordering the synthesizer as a non-refundable deposit, and the other half must be paid before shipment of the finished copy. It takes about 3-3.5 months to produce one instrument.
This reissue is more than just a synthesizer, it’s a fusion of technology and ecological responsibility. The PPG 1002 is produced CO₂-neutral, and every purchase supports sustainable environmental projects, such as Liquid Sky’s reforestation initiative in Portugal. This way, the future of sound remains not only authentic, but also green.
The PPG 1002 reissue is now available for preorder and is strictly limited to only 102 units and comes with a 2 Year Warranty. PPG 1002 is shipped in a PPG Flight Case.
Deposit is $5750.00 and is non refundable as that initiates the building process. $5750 will be due at time of shipping from our shop to you. ALL shipping, import taxes, and duty are paid by Noisebug, so $11,500.00 is the current total price delivered to your location.
