Korg Wavestate Sound Bank for Berlin School and Ambient

[@alessandromarassi8711]

I have to admit: your patches led me to buy the Wavestate. Delivered me yesterday. Great synth and even more great sounds. Please keep going to release more banks. 10+++

[@Waveformer]

Hope you’ll be happy with the Wavestate. Lots to learn and explore 😀.

[@alessandromarassi8711]

@@Waveformer Yes ! I'm very happy... it's a dreamsynth for me and your patches are so huge and beautifully crafted ... Very deep and inspiring journey in the wonder of sound !!!

[@jayvandenberghe4530]

After a month of playing around with these (being fairly new Wavestate owner) not only am I amazed at what this little synth can do, but how wonderfully deep and useful your Soundbanks are. Playing around with these turned me into my best version of Edgar Froese ( :D ) and together with the new editor also gave me tremendous insight in how the patches are created and encouraging me to do create some myself. I bought both of your soundbanks and they will last me a very long time! That said, if any new banks are to be released, they'd be on my list asap! Thanks a lot!!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you for your support 😊. Edgar Froese and Tangerine Deam is a huge inspiration to me, naturally.

[@thekitchensynth]

You my friend are a genius! Thank you for the hard work put into this as I have just installed the performances and lost the next hour or so. Just loving playing with my Wavestate now and sounding Ambient /TD/Berlin school... Marvellous!!

Glad you liked the sound banks, Kevin, and thank you for your kind words 😊.

Thanks, Tom. I was afraid that the Performances would be too complex for most people, with the 26 page manual and all 😬. It’s hard to judge when I’ve created the Performances myself and obviously know then very well. But it seems like they work well for most people, so that’s good 😊.

Bought this patches and it's a Wonderful collection. its not exactly patches but more like performance pieces that you can manage and navigate to your liking. still, it's very imaginative and educational experience. and even more; it shows the waves state can make plenty of sounds not found on the normal patches and sound big while doing it. my only hope is for another bank of this creations, but with a new direction. more experimental perhaps. Great Inspiration. Thank you!

It’s actually not possible to overwrite the factory patches, and there’s room for thousands of your own patches, or patches you buy or download for free. You install the patches you buy/download using Korg’s Sound Librarian software for PC and Mac.

[@ydryas454]

Absolutely top notch...I will be getting this. I have a small question....is it possible to 'lock' a layer? so if I have an arp on layer 1, can I play my other layers 'live' without affecting it?

[@Waveformer]

There’s no lock function for a layer. But you can assign different MIDI channels to each layer, connect another MIDI keyboard to it, and play the arp on one keyboard and the other layers on the other keyboard. Also, many of the performances in this sound bank uses different keyboard ranges for the different layers, so a bass arp might only react to the keys in the lower octave of the keyboard, and a pad or solo layer might only react to the keys in the upper octaves of the keyboard.

[@ydryas454]

@@Waveformer Thanks your you reply, much appreciated. Ok, got it....as soon as you mentioned that, the Microfreak came to mind so I will experiment a bit with that using a Midi channel. You have been a huge inspiration....thank you!!!!

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

Absolutely the finest examples of this synths capabilities. Great, stellar sound design Waveformer! I don't know why Korg made this PCM based instead of VA, if it was VA I would have bought one. Most the time when working with PCM waves conventional subtractive synthesis is very limited, with each PCM tone reacting differently to editing. Did you do any massive editing of the PCMs on your patches?

[@e-conrecords4665]

It wouldn’t sound this way as VA. At the end of the day you still have access to all the regular waveforms as single cycle loops that behave exactly the same as a VA oscillator and you’re going to be running them through a subtractive filter. Just get it man. You won’t regret it.

[@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene]

@@e-conrecords4665 The morphing alone makes this synth very tempting. And your video is certainly an indicator of the pleasant possibilities.

[@thomasronkin1586]

Thank you for your amazing work on this synth. You single handedly convinced me to get one last week and I have it for a few days. I will try to install the librarian so I can buy your wonderful patches. I have a problem, though. Do you know how to get the arpeggiator to sync to the beat when it is run by an external MIDI clock? My Wavestate accepts the external clock and its speed but it is not in step with the start of each measure, so it is not locked to the beat with other devices which are perfectly in sync. My master clock is a vintage Roland MC-500 MK2. Is there a MIDI CC message that can be sent to the Wavestate at the beginning of a measure to tell it to start the arpeggiator on the beat? Thanks for answering if you can!

[@Waveformer]

Try sending a single Note On MIDI message from your MC-500 to the Wavestate at the very beginning of your song 🙂. C-3 for instance.

[@thomasronkin1586]

[@richardbates1]

Is there any way you could create these performances and sound for The Roland Jupiter X/m????? I would be the first to buy!

[@Waveformer]

I’d love to try, but don’t have a Jupiter Xm. To create something similar, the synth needs an arpeggiator, and flexible modulation options, like having a random/sample-and-hold LFO modulating filter cutoff, decay, amplitude, or similar.

[@Beatprisoner]

I think I might doing something wrong when tweaking the patches with the performance knobs. According to the (excellent) documentation the eight performance knobs are mainly assigned to the volume and the octave of the according layer. Unfortunately for me the assignment of the eight knobs is totally different: Master, Timing, Sample, Pitch, Shape, Gate, Stepseq. and Speed (so exactly the default ones). Does anybody know what I‘m doing wrong here?

[@Waveformer]

Perhaps you need to push the “Performance Mod Knobs” button to the left of the knobs. It should be lit for the knobs to control the Performance, and not just the selected layer.

[@Waveformer]

Also, the knob name you see on the screen is the same no matter what the knob actually modulates. The first knob is named Master, even though it might be assigned to modulate the octave.

[@Beatprisoner]

@@Waveformer Right, I was confused by the fact that the display always shows the default settings (and also nonsense values) for the knobs and not the real ones. Thanks! @Korg: how stupid is that?!?

Wow. Is it possible to do a similar bank for the novation circuit? You still have your circuit?

[@Waveformer]

I actually have two Circuits 😀. It’s a good suggestion. The Circuit is great for the Berlin School type of music. Can’t promise anything, though. It takes a lot of time to create sound banks, and I must have some time for jamming as well 😀.

[@cybernaumemusic]

how to save these sounds to the synth? it loads it from editor, but it is not saving sound to synth even pressing write.

[@Waveformer]

The performances in this soundbank should be installed using KORGs Sound librarian for Wavestate, so you need to download and install that from KORGs website. Make sure you follow the installation instructions for the Sound librarian very carefully. The zip-file with the soundbank contains a Set List, a Bundle, and individual Performance files. The easiest way to install the soundbank is using the Set List. 1. Connect your Wavestate to your computer using a USB cable and start the Sound librarian. 2. Do “File | Import” and select the file “WF Berlin School Ambient.wssetlist” and click “Open” 3. The setlist with all its Performances is now loaded onto the Wavestate, and you can close Sound librarian and disconnect the Wavestate from your computer. 4. On the Wavestate, select the individual Performances from the Performance list, using the Value knob. All the new Performances have names that start with «WF», so they should be easy to locate near the end of the performance list. 5. If you want to set the new Set List active on the Wavestate, click the “Utility” button on the Wavestate and select Set List “WF Berlin School Ambnt”. The first 16 Performances are now available on the Set List buttons at the lower right of the Wavestate panel. Hit shift + Bank B to get to the last Performances in the setlist.

[@Waveformer]

You should switch to the Library (not the Editor) and load the setlist there. Hope that helps :-)
