Actually, they never used the Wave 2.2. It was a Wave 2.

At the time when DM bought the Wave 2 they was promised the possibility to connect it to a Waveterm/Wavecomputer but that never happened. Instead PPG brought out the Wave 2.2 in 1982 which could connect to the Waveterm.

DM got so dissapointed after spending a ( for them at least ) huge amount of money that they started using the Synclavier instead.

Later, they got the Wave 2.3 ( and possibly the Waveterm B ). On Violator they used the Wave 2.3.

The Fairlight was used at PUK studios in Denmark when recording Music for the Masses. Afaik they never bought one.

Producer Daniel Miller was heavily into the Synclavier, not the
Fairlight. Black Celebration is absolutely chock-full of Sync FM sounds.

In fact, the distinctive FM synthesis of the Synclavier was all over
Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward and Black Celebration. And
even back when they recorded Construction Time, they were using a PPG
Wave 2.2, Emulator I and the Sync.
