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."

"What if the BBC Radiophonic Workshop had to score a horror movie only using and Arp2600"


Published on Jan 11, 2020 Analog Synthesizer Patch Tutorials

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!"
