It’s not always on. You toggle Multimode on in the Global settings. One program (which is unique) consists of the 4 parts and you load 4 new parts on the next program. You can load any other part from any other program manually. So a program is a container of 4 parts like the way Sequential synths work.

Played around with the keyboard version of this synth at Schneidersladen today and my what a synth!!! The sound is rich and powerful but that user interface!! Best & most interesting wavetable UI I’ve experienced on a hardware wavetable synth so far.
The freaking thing is too expensive for me, also because I already own an Iridium Keyboard, but in a room with a Prophet 5/6, Super Gemini and more, the 3rd Wave stood out to me big time.
I hope those of you who own one love it dearly!
EDIT: I’m gonna Macro that Wave Surfer knob on my Iridium, such a cool idea and a real nice knob for that function too

I have a desktop version and am getting some clicks/static. Any other owners encounter this?
Both amp and filter envelopes have attack of 2, and increasing attack doesn’t help.
Not here. Are you using an init patch?
Nope, it was the attached patch.
I wrote to Groove Synthesis and they wrote me back within a couple hours, which is awesome. He wrote:
“I played around with it, and I can hear the same clicking. To me, it sounds like there is some kind of discontinuity happening when you play quickly and voices are stolen. It is easiest to hear when the audio is being low pass filtered with a low cutoff. I will look into it more and get back to you soon.”
They are super responsive, which is great… but then yesterday I was messing around with a simple patch for sub bass consisting of a couple sine waves and I got more clicking. Either my unit has a bad case of the clicks or something about my poor sound design skills keeps landing me in clickville.
I hope it’s fixable because there are things about this synth I love.

For posterity: the team at Groove Synthesis solved this issue by fixing the voice allocation logic. It will be in the next firmware update. Very responsive team over there
