Korg Wavestate Demo: A Universe of Sound
Музыка
Hey Folks.
I've got the synthesizer that I have been planning to buy for a long time. This is the Korg Wavestate, a synthesizer which is the revival of the legendary Korg Wavestation. It basically sequences waveforms in order to create sounds. Mainly it specializes in lush, ambient soundscapes, evolving pads, multi-layered performances and sequences, and unique interpretations of various instruments such as basses, electric pianos and mallets.
The beautiful thing with this machine is that you can simply press and hold on one key and let it do the rest, while turning the knobs and having fun. It is as simple as that to use, however if you wanna dig into it you are not going to find the end of the possibilities, it's just limitless. It is indeed difficult to create your own programs or wave sequences from scratch at first, however it comes with a ton of presets that you can modify to your own liking.
It includes a vast range of filters including the original MS20 and Polysix filters. FX section is huge and powerful, and you have got DSP effects built-in such as the compressor, various types of EQs, reverbs, delays, mod FX like chorus and phaser, special mod FX and so on.
This is a great synthesizer that I had lots of fun with. It is very ideal for creating those 80s and 90s lush sounds with the highest resolution of today's technology, but also is very powerful in terms creating highly dense, thick and rich soundscapes with top notch quality waveforms.
I hope you enjoy this demo and be sure to subscribe if you would like to see more gear demos and music.

My tip for any new wavestate owners who are totally intimidated by the concepts and complexity. You can start just playing with multisamples which makes it more like a regular synth, ie 'no sequence lanes'. Once you get used to the feel of a simple one channel(layer) patch, you can move to copying single channels(layers) from patches to see how they did their lanes and make new patches using up to 4 channels all copied out of other patches(performance is the whole patch). You can also stack and mute channels to work it like a drum machine or change sounds within the patch like a mixer

The Wavestate is a never ending source of pure fun to play.😁 Play On 🎵🎹🎶
I got the Korg O1-W Pro and the Wave Station after working nights at an AM/PM and saving for over 8 months. That only paid for about 40% of the total cost. The rest I put on my very first Credit Card. I was 19years old. It was GREAT!!! I was very proud of myself. Two months later the Northridge earthquake hit and I lost them both..they actually got stolen. We werent allowed to go back into the damaged area my apartment was at, so there werent people or cops in the area.. my amps, guitar, and all my pedals were also taken. The only thing they didnt take was my GSD puppy(which would have devastated me) , but it looked like they had tried.

Hey man great vid! Seems that there were times when you adjusted the vector joystick when it wasn't active. To turn it on and off, you hold down shift and press the 'vector' button in the envelope section. Again, great demo, and I hope you like your wavestate as much as I like mine!

Ohh man thanks so much for the tip! And your kind words! I really love this machine, it is so high quality and versatile.
Take wavestate to the next level by adding an external keyboard or footboard that is set outside the range of the wavestate's keyboard. You can do the "1-note drum" elsewhere or add a bass sequence while you do chords&leads on wavestate. Lol 7m26sec. That patch. You can take 4 copies of that sequence channel and make a new patch. If you set one channel's range outside the others, it won't sync when you play outside the other's range, but sync's inside. That gets crazy. I am thinking about cutting the case and removing the garbage keyboard. I'm with everyone else who thinks these are endless fun. The deepest synth I ever tangled with.
kendi presetleri ile alet evet tatmin ediyor ancak dışardan yüklenecek patch ler ile tam anlamıyla uçuşa geçiyor kendine hayran bırakıyor... fazlasıyla tatmin edici....
Excellent demo from you... Thanks very much 🙏🏽 Could you please tell me if it has many ethnic world instruments ...like ouds, bouzoukis, flutes... etc.. I can hear the tabla and sitar.. Korg pa 700 oriental contains a good variety of these instruments... I know the tech info says it's got 1000+ samples... But nobody has demonstrated those sounds...
@tarikkeskin

Thanks for your kind words! Yes it actually contains lots of ethnic world instruments ranging from percussions to woodwinds and all sorts of stuff. They are presented in lots of performance patches also. You can even find a greater variety of ethnic sounds in the program patches, and of course many samples are there as multisamples.
Nice demo. I've had mine for a couple of years now, and the only issue I've had with it was updating the firmware. If you're buying a new one make sure it's loaded with at least version 2.0.1. Anything earlier than that is a real chore to update. Other than that, it's one unique and wonderful machine, as illustrated here. 😎

Since you are a source of inspiration and always answer my questions rapidly, I would like to pose you one more! I own wavestate native on my mac. Which midi controller or any device do you think could make me have more hands on wavestate's interface?? I was looking at arturia's beatstep, or mini lab MkII. What's your opinion and suggestion?

Hello there, thanks! Well I don't really recommend anything else, I mean it's interface is intuitive enough I think. I think you can connect it to a sequencer though.

Yes you can, you can name your presets like Song1_xxxx Song1 yyyy and so on, then you can go to your next preset seamlessly.
I find it hard to come to a solid opinion on this synth. Without a doubt it demos very well and I find myself attracted toit. However, I find myself worrying about it just being a “modern chord organ”. If it’s difficult to program sequences, and you just use the built-ins, what is the point? If you do decide to dive and and program sequences, I kind of feel like you’d be better composing your tunes with a few synths and a sequencer made for sequencing, rather than hunt and peck in a tiny window or run an app to do it 🤷🏻♂️. I’m not hard on this opinion - I feel like I must be missing something. Maybe a failure of imagination on my part. I fear I’d get it, and play with it now and then (because it definitely looks fun), but not really use it productively.
Can you "hold" a note with drums in it so you don't have to keep pressing the key to keep it playing? The Modwave has a latch button but I don't see one on the Wavestate.
