Korg Wavestate Berlin School Ambient Jam, Alexanderplatz

[@vincentsky]

Fantastic! Those 12 thumbs down were people that didn't have their speakers on.

[@research-and-development]

Ive had the Wavestate for just a couple of months and just bought this soundbank recently...HOLY SH** it's incredible!! I've been deconstructing and reconstructing the patches using the info in the manual and using what knowledge I've gathered over 40+ years of playing synths and have learned amazing things about the Wavestate. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

[@marinvalentin2498]

for some time I have been looking at one ... I was 50% after this video I think my wife will kill me in my sleep if she finds out I bought it wonderful work I hope you get shares from korg

[@rainbowmerlin1]

A really wonderful piece. It reminded me instantly of the very first music concert I attended - Tangerine Dream in Liverpool Cathedral. Around 1974 I think. You've also convinced me I have to buy a WaveState!

[@rainbowmerlin1]

My new WaveState has just arrived! Also going to buy the WaveState performance bank by Waveformer...

[@timdanyo898]

Very nice use of multiple arpeggiators.Huge potential and possibilities!

[@Waveformer]

Thanks. I’m addicted to the arpeggiators at the moment. Combining them with wave sequences is really fun.

[@presentmomentmusic2023]

Can't thank you enough for putting together these video demo/tutorials and creating such useful sound packs (which I have purchased and loaded into my Wavestate). Exactly what I was looking for in deciding exactly how I wanted to approach/integrate this synthesizer into my own creative flow. :-)))

[@r.e.d.62]

This is sublime. Have you considered uploading a video on how you achieved these results? I'm sure there would be a lot of interest in your creative process...

[@Rix643]

Beautiful patch, very inspirational. Thanks!!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you 😊

[@pthomas36]

I still find this instrument completely humbling and daunting and it's so inspiring to watch it being played as I want to play it. Beautiful stuff here. Completely exhilarating when I think of how much I can learn...

[@Waveformer]

Thanks, Tom. I get a lot of inspiration from KZbin videos myself 😀.

[@seancraig5373]

wow-all from the 1 synth?? This is fantastic! YOUR video is the single most compelling I've heard to buy this synth!

[@Waveformer]

Sean Craig yes, everything is recorded in one take from just the Wavestate using only one patch. It’s a very capable synth :-).

[@davidbanner9001]

Putting the Wavestate through it's paces. Nice.

[@Waveformer]

I’m in the honeymoon phase with this synth :-).

[@davidgiordano9734]

My Wavestate arrives today!! Now if I could just have half of your talent I'll be all set!

[@Waveformer]

When I first got this synth, I was quite confused and didn’t really understand how I could use this making my own music. The presets are great fun, but I kind of felt like I was jamming with other people’s designs/ideas/songs. So I watched many hours of KZbin videos, read the manual twice and spent a lot of time just goofing around and seeing what happens if I twist this knob or change this parameter. For me, it helped to start from scratch, with the basics, without any wavesequencing, just the basic synth engine with oscillators, envelopes, filters and LFOs. Then I slowly wrapped my head around wavesequencing after that. I’m still very much a beginner and learning new stuff every day. So, welcome to the club and enjoy your Wavestate :-).

[@davidgiordano9734]

You’re welcome. Hope you’ll be happy with the purchase 😊.

[@JobimSynthMusic]

this is very good, I wish I had one synth like this back in 2000 when I started.

[@Waveformer]

Me too 😀. At that time, my only “synth” was the Ensoniq EPS 16+ sampler. I had a lot of fun with that one. It actually had different layers you could fade in and out, and a feature called Transwave that let you move back and forth in a sample as if it were a series of wave tables.

[@ProjectOverseer]

Beautiful 🎵🎶 ... You've made me want to experiment more 👍

[@jjrusy7438]

interesting to see how everyone uses their wavestate. this is a very nice jam. it's like you have a 4 channel cosmic groovebox thing, with a complex performance, going. I use wavestate for a wall of sound and i change patches as my performance variation. the last note of the previous patch will sustain after the change which makes transition smooth. a sustain pedal is very helpful. i also have been recombining programs from performance patches that i really like, and building sets of patches that have slight changes. Then i can switch to a different patch tweak just by touching one button on the row of setlist buttons. This is a brilliant piece of gear by korg Everyone should get one of these, just to explore if nothing else. "Big Kid Infinite Lego Set". Also, it was predicted in ancient times that the waveformer would achieve wavestate some day. lol.

[@Waveformer]

Thanks for the tips. I have much to learn :-).

[@driesanalog4187]

[@pcuimac]

Synth nerds have become fashion victims. After the analog craziness came FM out of nowhere and now Wavetables!? Thankfully I didn't sell all my digital synths for an expensive analog modular, when it was uncool to use an Novation Ultranova. I also kept my SY77 and other digital synths. Love your Berlin school jam! I am an old guy from the eighties now (Tangerine Dream - Tangram) .. and grumpy as hell. lol

[@Waveformer]

I shamefully admit that I sold my old Roland Juno 106 in the early 90s (to buy an Ensoniq EPS 16+, which I absolutely loved, to be honest). However, my wife was able to track it down a few years ago, and found it stored away at the back of a closet in a children’s choir rehearsal room. She bought it back for around 80 USD and gave it to me for Christmas. That was one happy reunion. It even still had the few stickers I had put on 😊.

[@didgeridoojedi]

Those are really amazing patches. Are you planning to release Microfreak Sound Bank?

[@michaeltyborski4802]

I love Wavestate's sound quality. My unit is a week old. It makes playing whole notes easy because the built-in performances seem to be movie background music. The synthesizer, unfortunately, fails to communicate with a PC running Windows 10 (2004 version). Other music products work fine. Why are the Korg drivers incompatible? Thanks for showing us what the system can do.

[@Waveformer]

Glad you liked it 😊. I’m really enjoying the Wavestate. Luckily I haven’t updated Windows, so I’m able to update the Wavestate. Hope they get this sorted out soon. Would be much better if Korg used MIDI instead of NDIS.

[@thomasinlondon2849]

I’m using the latest version of Windows and it works fine. You don’t need drivers for this Wavestate. USB midi works directly out of the box with all versions of Windows 10. No drivers required. If you want to run the sound library with some versions of Windows you’ll need to follow three simple steps. Hope you figure how to do this easy stuff, as this keyboard is brilliant.

[@erikdijkhuizen]

Should these also work on Wavestation Native? Somehow the 8 performance knobs do not respond in the VST.

[@Waveformer]

Yes. I have tested all the patches and all work as they should in Wavestate native.

Hi I can only repeat the previous comments. As a result of your YT videos I have bought a Wavestate. I have tried to buy your 2 banks on gum road but the buy now button doesn't work, can't wait to get my hands on them regards hightech101 from UK

[@Waveformer]

[@grandmasterjo1]

Excellent 👍👍👍. Beautiful patch. What is your overall rating for the wavestate on a score of 10

[@Waveformer]

A strong nine, I would say. I guess it’s not for everyone, but for someone like me with more talent in sound design than in playing technique, it’s a Godsend 😊.

[@grandmasterjo1]

@@Waveformer besides sound design it’s the creativity in using the lanes in conjunction with the endless parameters. This synth is like an orchestra just that you’re the conductor.... and composer. 😜🤣 The best part , you never know what you may get next !!! 9/10 👍👍

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Awesome stuff! Can these be loaded into the WS from an Android device? Thx Mark

[@Waveformer]

Hi Mark. Unfortunately that’s not possible. You need to run Korg’s Wavestate Sound Librarian software on Windows or Mac.

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

@@Waveformer OK. Thank you for the information. Good thing its easy to move around...😆

[@Beatprisoner]

Brilliant! Small question: how much work did you spend on creating this patch? Ah, one more question: any options for people to DL and study this Patch w/o FB-account?

[@Waveformer]

Thanks 😊. Well, difficult to say how much time I spent. I go back and forth between jamming and sound design all the time. And I’m learning and experimenting as I go along. I’ve been playing with it for a week or so, fine tuning and tweaking. I’ll see if I can find a suitable place outside of Facebook to upload the patch.

[@citizenofearth]

Very nice! Why did you decide to buy the Korg Wavestate and not for example the Behringer Deepmind 12 or the ASM Hydrasynth?

[@Waveformer]

I already have a Roland Juno 106, which is similar to the DeepMind. The Hydrasynth wasn’t on my radar for some reason. I guess it was because the desktop version wasn’t out yet, and the keyboard version was too expensive for me. The Hydrasynth looks like a really great synth. I liked the sound demos I heard from the Wavestate, and Loopop’s video demonstrated how easy it was to program. It looked like a really complex synth with lots of knobs and a good user interface for programming. And I must say that I’m super happy with it so far 😀.

[@gevansmd1]

I purchased this set and played with it for the first time this night. Why do some of the patches keep playing even after I select a different patch? I don't think that happens with other patches on the WS.

[@Waveformer]

All patches behave like this if you hold down keys or play the arpeggiator while changing to a different patch. Korg calls this Smooth Sound Transition. You can turn off this behavior in the utility menu, under Preferences, SST hold time (set to 0). Or you can switch to another patch and back again, and the playing will stop.

[@HOUSEMEISTER-BERLIN]

@@Waveformer hey waveformer, ich hab mir deine patches gekauft, gefallen mir sehr gut. danke. aber alle arpeggios laufen forever, als wenn hold gedrückt wäre.... hold time habe ich schon auf 0 gestellt, es bleibt so. wenn ich von einem externen sequencer den wavestate kontrolliere und dort stop drücke, wär es cool, wenn der wavestate auch stoppt. idee? danke vorab.

[@Curious_Skeptic]

I'm having a hard time not falling in love with this board! It's exactly the sounds I'd love to work with. Anyone know if this sound engine would be found in a nautilus, or is that a whole other engine that isn't as 'able' as this one is? Thanks.

[@Waveformer]

The Wavestate has a built in Raspberry Pi compute module. I don’t know if the Nautilus has one of those, or if the CPU used is powerful enough to run the Wavestate firmware/software.

[@castelmau]

are you using the sustain pedal to keep the arpeggiator going?

No, not in this jam. I’ve set all arpeggiators to latch, so I don’t need to use the sustain pedal. But I use the sustain pedal a lot in general, so I recommend it to everyone who plays a Wavestate.
