KORG WAVESTATION - HQ SOUND DEMO - digital synthesizer 1990

YouTube via AnalogAudio1 | September 08, 2010

"The Korg Wavestation is a great synthesizer for fantastic digital pad sounds. It came out 1990 and was actually developed by people from Sequential Circuits for Korg. The Wavestation reminds me of the M1 (similar hardware and similar basic sound), I think the Wavestation is also perfect for people who love the M1 as a synth. The Wavestation delivers similar synth sounds - but in better quality. It also has the same filter without resonance. Despite of this, it can sound amazing.

It's definitely not a "Music Workstation".

Like on the Roland D-50, the Vector stick is very useful to vary the sounds a little bit. That's important, because editing sounds on the WS is not easy. All in all, a fantastic inspiring instrument. If I must choose between WS and D-50, I would vote for the WS.

Many people played the Wavestation: Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Michael Cretu (Enigma), Peter Oxendale, Jan Hammer, Tony Banks (Genesis)...

In the video I show you some of my favourite sounds. Enjoy!

I played the Wavestation without any additional effects or eq. All you hear is coming straight out of the Korg WS."

Circuit bent stereo Nintendo NES system by Punksynth

Stereo nes

"NES system modded to be stereo. Here is how it works. The audio from the chip normally takes 2 channels and mixes them to mono. I have taken each channel and seperated them so you get a great stereo effect. The left channel has the square wave oscillators. The right channel has the triangle wave oscillator and the noise channel.

The potentiometers mix them and adjust the stereo seperation of the mix. The RCA jacks have been added to the back of it. I also replaced the red LED with a sexy blue one. This comes with the power adapter, NES system, and 1 controller. The NES itself is in pretty good shape, there are some scratches but nothing uncommon. I will clean the 72 pin connector before it goes out. You will experience issues loading cartridges from time to time. In my opinion this is pretty good for loading carts. Please make sure to clean your cartridges before using this. It will keep the blue screen problems from happening."

"Randomly cycling through a self-generating patch with five variations. Developed on a small Buchla 200e system. Main oscillators are 259e and 261e."

via Todd Barton aka vgermuse

"Inspired by Giorgio Sancristoforo’s recent self-generating Buchla patch in the classic electronic music style, I put together this brief, modest etude. I’m always amazed by the delicacy, power, elegance, gnarl and grit of just two Buchla oscillators!

The modules:

266e-259e-261e-281e-292e-291e-285e-206e

Randomly cycling through a self-generating patch with five variations.

A couple of minor edits for better continuity and a bit of SoundToys echo/reverb.

MoogFest: Devo to receive Moog Innovation Award

"MOOGFEST 2010 ANNOUNCES DEVO AS RECIPIENT OF MOOG INNOVATION AWARD

AWARD TO BE PRESENTED AT MOOGFEST, OCTOBER 29-31 IN ASHEVILLE, NC

The Moog Innovation Award celebrates pioneering artists whose genre-defying work exemplifies the bold, innovative spirit of Bob Moog. Moog Music would like to congratulate DEVO on being the 2010 recipient of The Moog Innovation Award, to be presented to the band during MoogFest 2010 weekend, October 29-31 in Asheville, NC. As part of this award, Moog Music will present DEVO with a very special synthesizer, details of which will be revealed in the coming weeks. Past recipients of the previously titled Moog Award include Keith Emerson, Herb Deutsch, Gershon Kingsley, Jan Hammer and Bernie Worrell.

“MoogFest is about shunning limitations, opening your mind and rejoicing in what’s next. MoogFest is about celebrating the marriage of technology and art, fearlessly embracing the future while respecting the genre-definers of the past. That’s why we created the Moog Innovation Award, to celebrate artists that helped to catapult pop music into the future and commemorate those artists that boldly burst through established norms to pave the way forward. That’s the spirit of Bob Moog and that’s the essence of the Moog Innovation Award.

The first recipient of the Moog Innovation Award is DEVO and we feel that they are a perfect representation of innovative sound-sculpting and genre-defying electronic music. Like Bob Moog, DEVO enthusiastically charted their own course and thus dramatically affected pop culture because of it. Not to mention the fact that they used Moog instruments to create their inimitable sound. MoogFest and the Moog Innovation Award is the perfect way to pay homage to Bob Moog and his adopted hometown of Asheville, NC where he raised his kids, gave birth to some of his greatest inventions and where he re-established the company that bears his name and carries on his legacy, Moog Music.” – Emmy Parker, Moog Music

DEVO, along with many more internationally renowned performers known for pushing creativity towards new dimensions, will play MoogFest 2010, a three-day festival celebrating the innovative vision of Bob Moog.
