The Wavestation was somewhat hobbled by memory constraints and the user interface restrictions of the time, yet it was a seductive machine which ignited curiosity. It was a sleek, eye-catching instrument, with minimalist front panel controls, but most importantly it was the first product to feature Wavesequencing combined with Vector synthesis thanks to a collaboration with Dave Smith and the team at Sequential Circuits (responsible for the Prophet VS Vector Synthesiser). ![]() ![]() It also includes some general tips and tricks for the Wavestate and some insight into how these Performances were built.In 1990, after enjoying the runaway success of the M1 and the more advanced T series, Korg delivered their first Wavestation. The accompanying user manual describes each Performance in detail, with a guide to both playing and twisting knobs. The soundbank works with both the Wavestate hardware synthesizer and the Wavestate Native software plug-in. The individual Layers in a Performance are designed so they both work well together and can play alone – just like individual members of a band. The Performances are designed for live tweaking, taking advantage of the Wave Sequences to modify rhythm, pitch, timbre and dynamics. The Performances use Arpeggiators, allowing you to play a few notes, perhaps a short melodic phrase, and the Arpeggiators and Wave Sequences will take it from there, play the notes in different order and automate the parameters in a musical way. The soundbank has 22 original Performances inspired by the Berlin School of Electronic Music, and it continues in the spirit of the first volume released at the end of 2020.Īll the Performances are built from four Layers, each with multiple Lanes of Wave Sequences. ![]() Welcome to my second soundbank for the incredible Korg Wavestate synthesizer, built over a period of 6 months in the first half of 2021.
