KORG WAVESTATION EX - Sounds, Presets & Ambient Soundscapes | Synth Demo

Published on Jan 12, 2020 synth4ever

"Demo of the Korg Wavestation EX digital vector / wavesequencing synthesizer. This Korg Wavestation EX synth demo features various sounds, presets, pads, textures, wavesequences and ambient soundscapes.

Released in 1990, the Korg Wavestation is an advanced vector synthesis synthesizer which allows for morphing of sounds between four points via the joystick. It also features wavesequencing, which enables short segments of sampled audio to be played sequentially and cross-faded into each other for more complex sounds.

The Korg Wavestation is well known for creating lush ambient pads, soundscapes, cinematic sounds, textures and strange effects. It also features a digital filter, multi-effects and enables you to get deep into sound editing, although there is a lot of menu-diving involved.

In 1991 Korg released the upgraded Wavestation EX, which added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acoustic instruments and drums, plus 8 additional multi-effects: Mod Pitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdrive and Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and MIDI implementation and control.

In 2020, Korg announced the Wavestate, which is the successor to the Wavestation and features more hands-on control via knobs, more functionality, and upgraded wavesequencing with full control of each parameter. The Korg Wavestate expands on the Korg Wavestation's heritage in a significant way, and brings it into the modern era.

Nonetheless, Korg Wavestations can still be found for decent prices on the second-hand market, and still sound great to this date. If you are interested in cinematic sounds, ambient music, pads, and lush soundscapes, the Korg Wavestation is certainly worth considering."

Machinedrum - Valer MD909 Kit

Hit the play button. For some reason the YouTube embed code isn't showing the preview image although the video is there.

"This patch was designed to show off the Arp2600's Electronic Switch and voltage processors. The voltage processors are simply being used to invert control voltages and the switch us being used to create different rhythms form one gate - Kind of a sequencer ratcheting effect.

I invert one of the Sample and Hold signals inside the Ring Modulation. I do this a lot. It creates unexpected variations especially if you don't invert fully.

I was watching a creepy vintage Dr Who on BBC while I was creating the patch and I was trying to create something I'd hear in the background as Tom Baker tries to avoid Davros and destroy all the Daleks. But ultimately it sounded like a 70's horror backdrop to me. Thus the title."

"With all the excitement about the Korg Wavestate, I thought I should really do a new clip and try and show a little more than just the wave sequencing on this old beast.

Hope you enjoy!"

Some Micromonsta synthesizer patches

Published on Jan 11, 2020 Ian R

"A badly played (please excuse my fumbling and keyboard skills) preview of some of the patches from my Micromonsta banks, you can download them
here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AJ3...

Some are better/more useful than others but maybe a good starting point for new sounds. These are a mixed bag of Bass and pad sounds mostly. Enjoy! And if you have any problems loading them let me know, this is my first time messing with SysEx files."

Korg DW8000 - A Classic 1985 Hybrid Digital+Analog Synth - Demo and Review

Published on Jan 11, 2020 Extralife

"A demo and review of the Korg DW8000, a hybrid polysynth from 1987. It combines sampled-wave DCOs with analog filters and unique six-stage envelopes for a stunningly capable and versatile keyboard synth that remains highly usable today. Its somewhat clunky interface is improved a great deal by the addition of a Stereoping controller. In this video I share some of my favorite patches and features as well as my thoughts on how this synth compares to the others today."
