Title link takes you to shots of various KORG Wavestation Card Sets via
these auctions. Pictured is the WSC-3S "SYNTH and TIME SLICE" 2 Card Set.
Details:
"These card sets are rare and highly sought after because of the PCM waveform data they contain. This is the easiest way to add new Multisounds to your synth and thus increase it's sonic capabilities.
The SYNTH and TIME SLICE Sound Card Set consist of a WSC-3 (PCM) card and a WPC-3 (Program) card. The cards contains 49 Performances, 34 Patches, and 31 Wave Sequences."
The others include:
WSC-1S "Piano"
WPC-15 "DANCE/TOP 40"
WPC-14 "ANALOG & VS"
WPC-13 "PERFORMANCE 3"
All contain 49 Performances, 34 Patches, and 31 Wave Sequences.
I'm guessing these were released for the original Wavestation and included in the ROMs of the later Wavestations and the newer Korg Legacy Wavestation. If anyone knows, feel free to comment.
Title link takes you to shots via this auction. I chose these for the post to show an interesting accessory that came with both the Roland JX-8P and JX-10 - a magnetic strip that you could place virtually anywhere accross the surface of the synth. The strip on the JX-8P contained the "Preset Sound Chart" while on the JX-10 it contained the "Edit Map" for setting up the dual synth engines in the JX-10. The JX-10 is virtually two JX-8Ps although many who have had time with both state they sound different - the JX-8P being warmer and more raw, and the JX-10 cleaner and more refined. If you have had experience with both, feel free to share your opinion on this in the comments. Both synths had the "Tone Edit Map" printed on the surface of the synth containing individual voice parameters including OSC, Filter, ENV, and LFO settings. You can see this in the second image. Note this was not a magnetic strip and was actually printed on the surface. BTW, I checked my image archives and couldn't find any real close-ups of either the magnetic strips or the "Tone Edit Map." If you know of any feel free to comment.
