Korg Wavestate Sound Compilation

Published on Mar 10, 2020 Korg

"Here’s a compilation of some of the sounds from the new Wavestate synth by Korg. Below are descriptions of the patches heard in the video:

Audio Spa – Quick twists of the Mod Knobs create immediate and dramatic changes to the Wavesequence.

Candy for Elle’s Shoes – A few twists of the Mod Knobs dramatically change the rhythmic pattern and effects on part one of this two-part Performance, and adds LFO modulation to the pads on the second part.

Chop it Up – A great example of how you can use the Mod Knobs to affect selected parts within the Performance, in addition to the default modulation settings.

Iceland Piano – An eerie, pulsating piano dances harmoniously with a light arpeggio-like Wavesequence, fused with a lush pad. Mod Knobs change the pitch and repetitions of the Arpeggio, as well as the samples, brightness of the piano.

Wasted Hip Hop – A freeform beat exploration with the Mod Knobs yielding realtime variations to the to beat, step repeats, and sample pitches, while the Vector Joystick brings parts in and out.

Rando 1 – Roll the dice to see what happens! The wavestate’s Randomizer, indicated by a “dice” icon, makes sweeping changes to any Performance by modifying parameters. You can also edit modifier % or choose which aspects of the sounds are modified, to refine or completely unleash the randomizations.

Rando 2 – An especially “strange” Randomization; somewhere between Whale song and a post-apocalyptic movie score! Thankfully, you can save Randomization to user locations, of which there are plenty!!

Rando 3 – This Randomization thing is just too cool. Check out this aggressive beat with underlying pad. The Mod Knobs are doing their part also!

Synth Komper Arp – A perfect blend of Wavesequencing and Arpeggiation. Mod Knobs control the master effect wet/dry, Wavesequencing samples, and pitch to create endless variations on the theme."

MACBETH M5 Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer

"This is the Original M5 with the black & orange colour scheme, as used for the later version ARP 2600.

Note that whilst it looks like a later model Rev.3 ARP2600, the M5's sound is both Moog and Oberheim inspired.

[Update: note the lawsuit mentioned below never happened. There was contention over the filter but it never got to that.  via Wikipedia: "Early versions contained an imitation of Robert Moog's 4-pole 'ladder' VCF, later the subject of a threatened (though ultimately nonexistent) lawsuit"Also the epoxy covered modules were likely more for performance reasons. Not sure if it was to stabilize temperature and to isolate the modules. See the comments at the bottom of this post for more.]

The original ARP 2600 (Blue Meanie model) that many/most claim sounds best of the 2600's, stole the Moog filter design of course, hence epoxy sealed units, lawsuit, 4072 ARP filter redesign, etc... Plus, the M5 actually dwarfs the 2600 in overall height + size. This M5 is one of around 90 (I think) of the original versions that were hand made between 2005/6, so only 14-15 years old compared with over 40 for a 2600.

It has great build quality courtesy of Ken McBeth. No tiny slider tops or mini jack sockets to fiddle with... On a practical note you can get multiple (man sized) finger tips between the slider tops for patching/mixing/modulation purposes. A joy to play with as you can easily see all patch points, sources, destinations, signal flow, etc.

As regards stability & tuning, many older analogue synths had & still do have problems with these factors. This M5 tunes very accurately and holds tune throughout every session, nor is this dependent on whether it's hot or not - inside or out, as was the downside of many old analogue synths, though it's appreciated some do like such instability... I prefer to start off with known stability & increase detuning/instability if/when needed. There is even a stability pot on Osc#3 for dialing in that effect when required, except it's under your control and not at the mercy of other elements...

IMO the M5 is sonically much more powerful and versatile than the 2600, based on the dual filter type design alone.

1. Ableton Live Rhythm Techniques and Tips for Synth and Pad Tutorial

Creative use of Live built-in Audio Effects gives interesting results.
I intensively used the effects that have some 'rhythm' features and synced modulations.
To demonstrate them I turned a pad into a complicated synth part.

The devices used: Audio Effect Rack, Auto Filter, Auto Pan, Beat Repeat, Compressor, EQ Eight, Echo, Filter Delay, Gate, Glue Compressor, Multiband Dynamics, Reverb.
No M4L devices were used.

2. Korg Radias Vocoder and Rhythmic Pad

An example of a non-vocal vocoder use: a drum loop modulates the pad. All the details are inside the video.

3. Xfer Serum Ambient Pulsing Pad Preset

We did a huge work in order to produce this bank of presets. We sampled 15 analog synths and then turn the records into wavetables. And on the basis of these waves we created two banks of presets: Analog Dreams Vol.1 Vintage and Vol.2 Modern. Synths that were used as a source for wavetables: Arturia MatrixBrute Arp 2600 Korg MS-20 MemoryMoog Dave Smith Instruments Evolver Korg Minilogue Korg Monologue Studio Electronics ESX1 Farfisa Roland Jupiter 6 Oberheim Matrix 12 Oberheim 2 Voice Roland SH 101 Roland System 100 Roland MKS 70.

Vintage Aries 300 Series Modular Synthesizer with 61 key Control Keyboard

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"What you are looking at is a special instrument.

300 Series Modules
The core of this system is five modules from the Aries 300 Series. There is one VCO module, one VCF module, one EG module, one VCA module, and one Clock/Noise/S&H generator. Yes, this is basic; here are the module names:

AR-317 VCO
AR-312 EG
AR-314 VCF
AR-316 VCA
AR-318 SH/Clock/Noise Generator
But of course, that's only the core. This system is bookended with some interesting devices. To say that it is "modified" would really be an understatement. It has been lovingly built by a lifelong musician.

The great thing about this system is that it was used by a professional musician as part of his home studio and performance rig for decades. It's often the case with these vintage units that they have aged poorly due to being left for decades in a closet or basement or whatever. But this was used consistently over its lifetime, up to the time of its builder's death. It has been played, as pieces like this need to be.

As you can see, the VCO module has been modified to include a further fine-tuned frequency control, right in the middle of the four knobs.

The Sound

There are an enormous number of modular and semi-modular systems available for musicians right now; the possibilities are almost endless. However, this has an edge that many modern synths don't have: the sound. These modules together sound much more like an ARP 2600 or vintage Moog modular than anything currently on the market. In fact, the sound of the filter is somewhere between Moog modular and early ARP filter. This probably isn't a coincidence, since Aries was a DIY synth-kit company founded by a former member of ARP in Massachusetts.

Mammoth 5MU System With Many Extras - Smegmar The Medicant & Sysyphus

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

List of modules at the listing and captured below.

"Large-format modular system offers: 40 modules of various brands and 150 Synthesizer.com modules. In addition, there are various power-related modules, mounted in the front and the rear.

The system is 275 MU’s front face panels spaces plus 32-more in the rear. Featuring: 27 full-range multi-waveform oscillators, 12-filters, 3 discrete MIDI interfaces, and 4 sequencers. ( not including the Matrixbrute features)

It has taken over a year to purchase and assemble all of the modules: this system is completely ready to use. Most of this system is housed in solid walnut cabinetry.

There are a few modules I bought in used condition, but the rest are new purchases. The cabinetry, controllers, and cabling are all new. After assembly, this system has not been moved, exposed to smoke, or touched by anyone but me.

The entire system is in excellent condition, with a couple of VERY minor scuffs where modules have been periodically installed and/or relocated...

History: I first purchased a Moog System-55 re-issue modular. I discovered Synthesizers.com when doing a simple google search. I learned their clone of the Moog Dual Sequencer Compliment wing was not only superior to that of the Moog’s, it was nearly 1/3 the price. So from there, I bought a System 66 and A/Bd both the tonal and functionality aspects of each to discover the Synthesizers.com sounded better to my ears, had more functions, and was more stable. I sold the Moog, and steadily expanded the system it is today.

I am 100% satisfied with this system.

It would take upwards of 6 months to get all of these modules (and a couple of these you may not able to get at all) and a significant amount of time to install and wire the modules, and assemble the large manual binder.

It also took 2 full days to convert 16 of the modules into their revised versions, yet I have not added the price of the conversion kits to the list below."

TTSH ARP 2600 Clone

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"IBYP's most recent TTSH V2, ARP 2600 semi-modular synthesizer cloneWhite Ring edition. Although 20% smaller in size, the Two Thousand Six Hundred Version 2 (version 1 improved ) has proven to sound and play as hard as its predecessors. The TTSH is a resurrection of the classic hybrid-modular synth, ARP 2600 AKA the original Star WarsR2D2 voice as well as many classic arcade games. It offers 3 oscillators, endless modulation possibilities and a built in 4AB3C1C reverb tank for a more long and natural warm decays. Designed by The Human Comparator and built by IBYP, this TTSH V2 was tested and tuned with precision to fit in all musical environments.

Since early January 2016, the The Human Comparator discontinued the boards and panels to make room for more great products to come. This monster is now considered among the rare classics we spend most of our time hunting down and will surely go up in demand considering not many were built. I've had allot of fun building them and now its time to sell my last one.. well not really my last.. I've kept one for my self ;)

The TTSH unique neo style case was designed and hand crafted by IBYP's own designer Lou Davis. The Neo style case is inspired by one's perception of physics due to its sleek slanted design. It gives the impression that the case is on the verge of falling when viewed from it sides but thanks to the storage compartment in the back, the TTSH had a very solid base to stand on. The compartment makes it practical to store your cables, power supply as well as cue sheets or other junk we musicians tend to carry around. As for the case finish, a black Duratex plastic paint was chosen for better durability and resistance while also providing a beautiful end product, catches the eye of everyone's first glance. The white ring edition speaks for itself, the 1/8" and the 1/4" ring connectors have been carefully coated white and a Moog style knob was added for the preamp volume control.

It is very easy to setup in any midi situation, just connect any midi controller, sequencer with a CV/Gate out to the CV/Gate input on the TTSH and you're ready to explore a universe of endless soundscape possibilities! I recommend anyone passionate about analog synths to go the extra mile and get this version 2 of TTSH, it's a musical beast, a must have!"

Ever since the K4815 Pattern Generator module was released to great praise in 2010 we have been planning a follow-up product that would take the Pattern Generator concept to a whole new level. After five years of planning and exploration we are proud to present: CARBON

CARBON offers several distinct and powerful functions that will change the way you compose and perform.

Sequencer
CARBON is primarily designed as a pattern-based sequencer. It has six tracks which can each hold 64 steps. Steps can be generated randomly, edited interactively, or recorded from a MIDI keyboard one step at a time, or in realtime while the sequencer is running. Polyphony and CC recording is supported so each step can contain chords or other performance data.

The fun begins once you've got some notes playing back on a track. Choose a region to play back, say, the first 8 steps. The track will play those same 8 steps over and over. Now move to another track and record a new sequence. This sequence can be a different length, or play back at a different speed. It can even play backwards while the other sequence plays forwards.

Remix with Patterns and Scenes!
The real power of CARBON is how variations of sequences can be made. By simply turning the PATTERN control, different steps in the sequence can be enabled and disabled. The patterns will surprise and inspire you by creating new rhythms and motifs with a simple twist of a knob. These are all based on your original sequence and can be changed at any time.

Adding in the concept of scenes lets you quickly switch between different parts of a song or different variations. Scenes can store the range of steps to play, the pattern, track mute state and a number of other parameters. Switching back and forth between scenes offers endless performance potential without ever missing a beat.

The best part of the CARBON sequencer is that all the recording and editing can be done in real-time without ever stopping the sequencer.

"Like the little brother to the famous odyssey series, the axxe uses much of the same circuitry for a similar sounding synth. It is a huge sounding little machine, with ripping oscillators and that classic warm arp filter sound. Heaps of hands on action make for endless fun on this vintage beast. These are pretty rare in Australia, you don't see them come up very often, so don't miss your opportunity to grab one!

This particular axxe has had a full service and is sounding great. Each slider has been fully stripped and rebuilt to give them a smooth feel again, so no more annoying sticky crackly sliders. Cosmetically the unit is good, however does have some signs of wear & tear relevant to age. The front panel and paintwork are mostly very good, but there are a few scratches on the back panel, and one corner of the wooden side has been chipped off. With some TLC these could be easily fixed up. Please see photos for detail, and please note these do not affect functionality in any way."

Sharing Sounds With Omnisphere 2 - Spectrasonics Releases Omnisphere v2.1 Update

Published on Aug 4, 2015 SpectrasonicsVIDEO

"Learn how to import user audio and share your own patches using the new sharing capabilities of Omnisphere 2.

Click on this link to download the files for this video.

http://bit.ly/1hhYy9c"

Update: And the press release for the v2.1 update:

"Spectrasonics Releases Omnisphere v2.1 Update
Power Synth adds simplified user sound sharing and Library Publishing for third-party development

Burbank, CA - August 4, 2015 - Spectrasonics has released Omnisphere 2.1 with a streamlined 'Sharing' feature for sharing user sounds and a new Library Publishing capability. Version 2.1 is an update to the company's recent v2 upgrade of its flagship software synth. In May, Omnisphere Version 2.0 was released with vastly expanded new synthesis and creative capabilities for sound design, along with significant user interface innovations, and thousands of new sounds. The new v2.1 update, a free download to Omnisphere version 2 users, includes refined patch and project sharing features for easily exchanging custom sounds between end-users directly or over social media, a Library Publishing feature allowing third-party sound developers to create easily installable sound sets for Omnisphere 2 users, as well as a much improved boot time for the plugin itself. Both the Sound Sharing and Publishing features can contain 'User Audio,' offering new horizons in patch creation and simplified collaboration.

"It's exciting to see the Omnisphere universe expanding with so much great sound development work in so many areas, from EDM to rock, and film and TV scores to games," says Spectrasonics' Founder and Creative Director, Eric Persing. "And now third- party developers of patch sets for Omnisphere 2 have a simple way to create and offer custom libraries that can include their own soundsources, and are easy to install for customers. There's no need for installers or complicated instructions for moving files around directories deep in the system folders. And because it's so easy to share sounds and ideas now, we feel this will be a huge boon for social media user groups discussing tips and patch creation. This is a big opportunity for our users everywhere. We look forward to seeing and hearing what develops!"

Sharing sounds is simplified in Omnisphere 2.1, the end-user can simply shift-click on a few Patches or a few Multi-patches and then save them to be transferred to a friend or musical collaborator who also has Omnisphere 2. Sharing patches automatically includes any user audio, which is especially convenient with custom patches. Sharing multiple types of Patches, Multis and user audio all at once is easier too, with Project sharing; the end-user can just collect a set of sounds in a project, and then share the project.

The new "Publish Library" feature in v2.1 was created for third-party developers of Omnisphere libraries. It allows developers to easily export, or "publish" a library of Multis and Patches, along with any associated user-created Soundsources, as well as graphic images for the custom library in a single .omnisphere file format. End-users can then easily install this package into their systems with a single step.

Beyond the new sharing features in v2.1, the Version 2 upgrade released in May, includes a host of new capabilities including the most requested Omnisphere feature: Audio import for user-created soundsources-along with major new oscillator features including over 400 new DSP Oscillator waveforms, morphing Wavetables, new granular synthesis options, over 4500 unique new sounds created by Spectrasonics' acclaimed sound design team-bringing the total to over 12,000 total sounds and patches, 25 new FX units, an enhanced User Interface, and innovative production/browsing features such as Sound Match(tm) to instantly locate any related sounds in the library, and Sound Lock(tm) to create endless useful patch variations by locking sound aspects while browsing other patches-among many other innovative features.

Omnisphere 2.1 Feature Overview

New Sound Sharing and Publishing capabilities in v2.1:
• Easily share patches and projects between users, which can include User Audio
• Publish a library of patches and Multis including User Audio, graphics and more
• Share Sounds over social media

Faster Boot Time for Omnisphere 2.1:
• Opening the plugin inside any DAW on Macintosh or Windows is much speedier

Vast New Synthesis Possibilities in Omnisphere 2:
• Audio Import - Users can import their own audio file as a soundsource in Omnisphere
• Over 400 New DSP Waveforms for the Synth Oscillator - an increase of 100X
• Wavetable Synthesis - Each Waveform is now a Morphing Wavetable
• Powerful New Granular Synthesis algorithm
• Deeper FM/Ring Mod capabilities for aggressive timbres
• 8 New Filter Types - New Power Filters, Vowel, Resonators
• New Unison Drift models Analog Polysynth behavior
• Expanded Modulation with new sources and many more targets
