2009 Korg WaveDrum WD-X Performance and Sound Examples
YouTube via KORGTV
"The 2009 Korg WaveDrum WD-X is a Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer. It uses a hybrid sound generation system combining DSP based synthesis algorithms and PCM playback engine. Individual playing styles will produce different sounds depending upon how the head and rim are played, how pressure is applied pressure to the head, etc. This video show examples of playing techniques and how the WaveDrum responds."

I'm not a drummer, but I just might try to be with that thing.
ReplyDeleteNo USB, no MIDI, no way. Ridiculous omission.
ReplyDeleteAww, no MIDI?
ReplyDeleteNevermind...
How could you possibly play it by MIDI? It uses actual audio from pickups to excite the synth algorithms. MIDI note #62 isn't going to cut it. It's a drum: you hit it.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you dumb?
ReplyDeleteYou could control all events via MIDI CC, like notes, velocity, attack, release, etc.
It's a synth and like any good synth it can be controlled in many ways with MIDI.
Even old non MIDI synths are getting upgraded to MIDI. MIDI is standard anymore guy.
no midi/usb = fail
ReplyDeletestill looks slightly win
I know how MIDI works man. I've been doing this for a long time lol.
ReplyDeleteLike it says in the video, the WD-X uses the actual AUDIO from pickups as a start in generating the sounds. That's why it sounds different with brushes, sticks, hands, etc. You can not transmit audio via MIDI in real time, thus you can not use MIDI to play the WD-X. There's a lot more to this instrument than MIDI note number, velocity, CCs, etc. can express.
They could of least gave it a USB connection for firmware updates.
