Korg Wavestate Sound Bank Vol 3 for Berlin School and Ambient

Waveformer presents the "Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit Vol 3" soundbank for Korg Wavestate- available for purchase from gumroad.com/waveformer.
UPDATE: It seems like the Gumroad shop has some issues with their PayPal connection. If you have problems purchasing the soundbank through the Gumroad shop, please contact me by email to [e-mail] and I can send you a request for money directly from PayPal.
This is my third volume in the “Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit” series of soundbanks for the amazing KORG Wavestate synthesizer. It works with both the Wavestate hardware synthesizer and with the Wavestate Native software plug-in. It was built over a period of 12 months and was completed in April 2023.
The soundbank has 21 original Performances. All Performances contain four Layers with multiple Lanes of Wave Sequences, designed to be easy to tweak and reshape as you play them live. Most of the Layers use Arpeggiators which interact with the Wave Sequences to transform the rhythm, pitch, timbre and dynamics of the notes from the Arpeggiator. The individual Layers in a Performance are designed so they work well together and can play alone - just like individual members of a band.
The accompanying user manual describes each Performance in detail, with a guide to both playing and twisting knobs. It also includes tips and tricks for the Wavestate and some insights into how the Performances were designed.
I hope you’ll find this soundbank inspiring. Thank you for your support. :-)

I’ve just been listening to this play in the background and totally forgot it was a sound set instead of a Berlin school playlist.

[@Waveformer]

Thank you for listening 😀🎶

[@Stadsjaap]

Just bought this beautifully crafted pack after buying vol.2. For me as a Wavestate noob, watching these demo videos adds just as much value as the patches themselves. There are many KZbinrs with great content on how to _use_ the instrument, but this is the best instruction I've seen that actually teaches us how to _play_ the Wavestate. Thanks, Thomas, you're an absolute class act! 💯

[@kinskighost]

I’ve been doing synths for a long time-built one from a $500 kit in 1977-and the combination of my “new to me” $450 used wavestate mk1 and your sample packs is one of the most mind blowing interactions with a machine that I can remember. I bought your three packs in order and I feel like watching your programming abilities grow across them, coupled with the meticulous notes you provide is an education as far as diving further and further into what’s going on under the hood. The combination of all these things nearly brought me while jamming on December snow with Dmaj7 as base chord. Thanks so much for the obvious tons of work you have done. I suggest everyone think about at least paying double via the “name a fair price” option bc all of the work is simply fantastic. Thank you waveformer!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you for your kind words 😀. I’m having a lot of fun programming the wavestate. It’s amazing how much flexibility Korg has managed to build into this thing, without making it a nightmare to program. And combined with the excellent samples, filters and effects it’s truly a masterpiece. I have learnt a lot about from the wavestate about sound design and alternative ways of composing electronic music over the years since I got it. Hope you have fun with the patches I created. Thanks a lot for your support 😊🎛️🎹🎶

[@olivierbriand7926]

you did it again : bravooo : i did purchase your bank immediatly....it(s some very good work as usual.....

[@brunoooots]

at last 🥰 immediate purchase, your best soundbank imo!

[@michael7018]

Great work! Korg wavestate arrives Monday. Sequencing heaven.

[@Beatprisoner]

As both of your previous WS Soundbanks: excellent work! In fact people don't just buy a soundset. No, what they buy is a record containing some greate songs which they can extensively remix on their own. And btw.: the price is a steal. So paying a little bit extra would more than fair from everybody.

[@halcyonwinds1970]

Just purchased packs 2 & 3. The included manuals are gold mines for sound design and programming tips. Thank you so much for putting in so much time and effort into making and sharing these with everyone. Your work is an inspiration.

[@stevenbrenner6515]

EXCELLENT Work ! Buying this tonight !

[@efyrialoto6354]

I've been waiting for a long time!

[@zvenx]

I had bought volume 1 and 2 and loved them... only now realised there is a volume 3... swore I had signed up for newsletter notification... thanks for doing these...

[@TKitusai]

Thank you Waveformer to have solved the Gumroad's problem by email! Your sound bank is just amazing! What a beautiful and hard artistic work. The documentation is as useful as didactic. Hey, 74 pages of explanations, wow! This synth is excellent but a bit difficult to dive in. So your sound work along with the manual is a top lesson and a lot of fun as well. The price is much than fair! Thanks again.

[@asynchronicity]

Beautifully done! Stands alone as an album worthy of release. Keep up the great work 👍

[@modxlele5745]

Hi Thomas Thank you for these beautiful sounds. Please keep it up, I hope there will be Vol 4. Cheers Randolf

[@DJMikeron]

You guys have a unique sound which I really love . Danke

[@jeffevansmusic]

Long awaited and amazing! Thanks for the detailed instructions too. They help a lot.

[@dmitryschpoondoff2947]

[@aquietgarden]

Wow! This is a wonderful set. Thank you for such an inspiring set of instruments. I have and love Wavestate Native, and have been seeking ambient presets and performances for it from which to start weaving my own ambient works.

[@maydaygoingdown5602]

Im away for a week from this monday mate, so I'll buy them when back the week after next. Sounds great mate and cant wait to try them out.👍 EDIT...1 week passed and now purchased today, loaded into my Wavestate. Cheers.👍 Cheers

[@rayderrich]

You are an inspiration to me, thanks for making this happen. Now to find a second-hand Wavestate ;-)

[@thekitchensynth]

Immediate purchase to join the others ! Worth every penny 😊

[@craigmakarowski6460]

Wow you did an awesome job Wavefromer just bought it, excelent!! this is going to be major fun thank you so much!! :-)

[@JMGtII]

This is a very impressive bit of work! The Wavestate has never seemed like a straight forward instrument and this def shows some mastery.

[@SynthoidSounds]

Excellent example of the artform, very well done . . . and convincing. I just took the plunge acquiring one of these a few days ago. Yes, I know, it's got a rather elaborate learning curve, but have been impressed with the significant number of video demos and detailed tutorials available, yours especially. My fate awaits . . . it's all good.

[@michel8126]

just bought the volume 3. it sounds amazing ! can't wait to play on my wavestate. I'm sure will buy the 2 others. please a volume 4 ;-)

[@tomthedead1]

At last !!😁😁😁let´s go for it 😄

[@kaarnak]

Impressive.

[@pavelfajtfree]

Nice

[@YasserAbdelmonsef]

My next purchase indeed

[@edtraylen8581]

Have all 3 now. This one is awesome and I love how you’ve made it so tweakable! Purchased without any problems using Apple-pay. Many hours will be lost with this!😂

[@Waveformer]

I apologize in advance 😁

[@EarJuice]

Awesome stuff once again and I haven't listened to this video yet. Now make one that's more upbeat for Wavestate yoooo cause apart from this I'm not buying anymore ambient performances for Wavestate. I have enough that's it's starting to blend together as far as sound.

[@EarJuice]

Can't get device to connect again. Merrrrrrr righto work this out later.

[@HotDrinks]

Bout time yo.

[@lbsincro]

Nice work! Congrats !! maybe a Special price por the bundle?. Today I want to buy your patches ;-) Greetings from Chile

[@InkyDaCaT]

😉🙌

[@jhdrummer4815]

I have previous two banks and found out that vol 2 fit better with my style of music, and in general most of the patches works very well with any kind of chords I lay down and with upbeat tempos as well. So just curious to know if this third bank lean more forward on previous vol 1 or 2. Many thanks

[@Waveformer]

Hm. I’m not sure if it leans more towards vol 2 or vol 1. It continues where vol 2 left off, as I learn more and more about the Wavestate. I made an upbeat jam a couple of weeks ago with one of the patches from Vol 3. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5u1pJmerbGZock.

[@chriscarrington4294]

HI There I have your other libraries and will her getting this one too. Does anyone know if there is a way to transfer these patches etc. into the Mac OS software version of the WSTATE?

[@Waveformer]

Yes, you can use these soundbanks with the Wavestate Native plugin on both Mac OS and Windows. 1. Make sure you run the latest version of the Wavestate Native application / plugin. This is very important, so don't skip this step. 2. Start the Wavestate Native application or plugin. 3. Select the Librarian in the upper right. 4. Click the hamburger menu in the upper right. 5. Select Import. 6. Locate the file "WF3 Berlin School Ambnt.wsbundle" and click Open. 7. If you get a dialog box saying "This import contains factory sounds. Skip them?", click "Yes". 8. Wait for the import to complete. 9. All the Performances have now been imported into the Wavestate native application / plugin. 10. In the Librarian, you now have a collection named "Waveformer 03". If you select that collection, you'll see all the new Performances. Double-click a Performance to load it. 11. If you go back to the Editor, you can select the new Performances by clicking at the Performance selector at the top Please let me know if you have any problems, and I'll be happy to assist you.

[@Chuck-vs4qp]

These are amazing. I have a bunch of questions if you have tine: 1. Out of curiosity do you ever do stuff in different time signatures - 7/8 say or 5/4 - would be quite interesting with this kind of music and I've not really heard it done. 2. Do you load any of your own samples in? It sounds from the demos like you are still using the built-in sounds all be it in amazingly clever ways. 3. I also wondered if you've looked at the OP Six - it's not as deep as the Wavestate but I've got some great sounds out of it. Really fun take on FM.

[@Waveformer]

It actually very easy to do 7/8 and 5/4 time signatures with the patches I create on the Wavestate. If you play 5 notes, the arpeggiator will repeat those 5 and you’ll get a 5/4 feel. If you change the wave sequence loop lengths to multiples of 5, you’ll emphasize the 5/4 feel even more. I haven’t tried 5/4 beats on the Digitakt yet :-). I have just barely played with loading my own samples on the Wavestate. None of my soundbanks use custom samples. It’s something I plan to explore more. The OPSix sounds like a very interesting synth indeed, and great for sound design. I might get it some day :-).

[@booyobambooyo2563]

Very nice...How many presets has the Wavestate?Except the user programs i mean

[@Waveformer]

It comes with around 240 factory presets, more than 700 factory programs, around 1000 wavesequences and over 2200 multisamples.

[@FastRCToys]

Paypal don’t work used my credit card instead. Very good ambient presets 😎😎😎😎

[@FastRCToys]

Waiting for your first modwave presets, bro 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@fergusfurlong]

sounds awesome - is it easy to install?

[@Waveformer]

Yeah, you can easily install it using the PC or Mac app from Korg. There are installation instructions included in the manual :-).

[@fergusfurlong]

@@Waveformer thanks so much

[@chefkochism]

Hey, does this soundbank run on the Wavestate mk2 too?

[@Waveformer]

Yes :-). It’ll sound exactly the same on mk1 and mk2, and on the software version of the wavestate as well.

[@Game-FPS]

Will this bank work for the vsti software of wavestate ?

[@Waveformer]

Yes. It sounds exactly the same :-)

[@torstenb2205]

hmm, i wished i could say: YEAH, finally i got it. But there is a problem when checking out by paypal. I tried it several times, with firefox and EDGE, but i wasn't able to purchase it. I don't remember having this trouble at Vol.1+2. Tomorrow, i try it again...

Hi Torsten. Thanks for the update. It’s great to hear that everything worked out with the purchase. Gumroad is a very reputable company used by lots of creators worldwide, so your credit card transaction is safe with them. Hope you’ll enjoy the soundbank. Thanks a lot for your support 😀🎛️🎶
