Korg Wavestation A/D | Beautiful and Complex

[@Daring2Win]

The motion pads are why I have 2 of these for stacking. An incredible synth.

[@Daring2Win]

@DorisDay-lw4xs Hey, I no longer have these, as the app/VST render them obsolete, but, YES, I jave the Wavestate, Opsix, & Modwave in VST form... OMG! They are incredible & definitely superior to the original Wavestation IMO, but, the WS still fits very well into my rig.

[@MrStrat01]

This machine was and still is amazing !!! All the Pads are marvellous !!! It was far away the others when released !!!

[@harmonicres]

The pads on the WS have always been a strong point very lush, ethereal and even rival some of the gear today. Ozric Tentacles a UK space rock band used the synth for over a decade as well as....Steve Roach. Nice demo always tops Espen!

[@EspenKraft]

Thanks man! :)

[@skameron831]

[@atomkraftstudios]

Technically the 90's in this instance, but the eighties never died for me :)

[@gcoudert]

I had a Wavestation SR for years, which I actually programmed. I now have a Korg Kronos, which has the WS waveforms and wave sequencing as well as vector synthsis. The limitation is the 2-osc Program structure so you need two of them in a Combi to re-create WS patches. On the WSSR, I remember creating lush pads using wave sequences consisting of the same waveform at varying volumes crossfading into one another. Great synth.

[@madness8556]

Great demo as always. I remember playing a DX7S in a store in 1988 and it had the most playable nylon string guitar sound that I've ever heard from an instrument that doesn't rely on samples. None of the other DX instruments had that guitar program in memory. Keep up the great work.

[@EspenKraft]

Cheers!

[@BlackMan614]

OK... you didn't have to do the conversion into today's dollars on what we paid for an A/D new in 1991 - that was cruel. Still have mine. Still love the sound. Still hate editing wave sequences. ;-)

The world's most Atmospheric Stand-alone Vocoder to date.

Great stuff! There is something special with the sound from an early 90S KORG. Just loving it! Glad to see the display turned out good. Was worried about all the soldering that had to be done. 😎🤩

[@Johnnyk999]

@@EspenKraft So you replaced the display with a brighter, non-factory type? My A/D (bought used when about 2yrs old)) still has the original display. Sometime ago I bought a new backlight for it, but have yet to install it.

[@EspenKraft]

@@Johnnyk999 Yes, it's a custom made display. Anders Jensen bought it and he put it in there, but I removed some components like the inverter (for the old one) so it will be quiet in the future. The original one was dimmed out so something else had to replace it. ;-)

[@frankweidhaas5376]

Thank you for this video and I totally agree. I owned the Korg Wavestation in 1993 and this synth was a awesome fun machine 😊

[@EspenKraft]

Cheers! :D

[@mu_zines]

Nice to see my old patches getting a workout! ;) The WS is a great synth, and despite the common misconception that it's hard to program (it's not, the interface is great, and the actual synthesis features are fairly simple), can still sound surprising, particularly if you avoid the cliches. The Waverex is really cool - back in the day there was the Frontal Lobe/PCM Channel and the Zadok SAM-1 that did this, but they were quite obscure and pricey boxes. Also - if you don't have it, the best PCM card set for the WS by far is the Synth/Timeslice set, which has some great patches and waveforms on it. It was more or less in permanent residence in my WS since I got it... Looking forward to see some more on how the Waverex works and what it sounds like running your own samples through the WS! Great stuff!

[@EspenKraft]

Awesome Ben, I find many of your patches demonstrate the WS perfectly! I never found the WS very hard to program either, everything is quite logical. I'll finish up my video about the WaveRex soon! :-) Cheers

[@infindebula]

Back in the mid-1990s I ran the Wavestation mailing list for a few years. We had an amazing community back in those days. If you are the Ben I think you are, you did the patch compilations. Those were great days, and I’m glad to see you still talking about the WS.

[@mu_zines]

@@infindebula Yep, it was a fun community, for sure! When I first got on the Internet in '93, there was precisely *one* bank of Wavestation patches online, and there was a culture of keeping your own patches private. By sharing my own patches, and encouraging others to share theirs, and the whole Patch Archive thing, we built up a nice little library for WS owners, that's still useful today. I know that model was taken up by other synth communities as well. Fun times, those early days!

[@peterkadarmusic9728]

Man I could totally go for more Wavestation video tutorials. This was great, Espen; thank you!

[@EspenKraft]

Thanks! No more Wavestation videos from me though. ;-)

[@gula_rata]

Got my Wavestation A/D with updated blue LCD a few years ago when nobody was interested or cared about Vector Synthesis, so got it very cheap. For vintage digital fans it's a must have, next to Yamaha TG77.

[@autumnbrushtail]

I know things were different when you made this comment, but I'm going to pass on the TG77. The last one I saw was £1000 on Reverb. On the other hand, the SY99 is like £400-800 soooooo

Clicked like just for the terminator rendition. All I can hear when Listening to the wave station. Every single 90's Genesis album and lot of parts form mike & the mechanics, begger on a beach of gold. It was featured extensively in that album, and was also Phill Collin favourite synth.

[@Arachnosoft]

"Fading Lights" is indeed a standalone demo for this synth... And yes, many tracks from "Beggar on a Beach of Gold" are totally awesome. "Someone Always Hates Someone" comes into mind first...

[@ErikHawk]

I was not aware that the rack A/D has an audio input for vocoding. This is so cool! Another great demo, thanks :-)

@@gjc82071 Not played it myself so I can only judge it from pics and audio demos. Not impressed, to groove oriented and not the same presence in the sound as the original. No import of own samples/waves. I can understand why they've made it like that in 2020, but it's not for me. I might feel differently if I get my hands on one myself, but not something I'd buy to test that out. ;-)

@sbmphr Pretty much all the features you say you love about it is features that really put me off. I'm not the slightest interested in that. I want my sequences to be much simpler, played by hand, mostly and those new "groove" oriented machines are simply not my cup of tea. ;-)

Really amazing synth! Even though this cannot be compared with Yamaha SY22/TG33, they don't have filters, there are the ABCD elements with recordable and programmable mixing. The actual reason for commenting is the sound that made me think of Yamaha and the early 90's digital sound. Found something similar on some patches.

[@deauvillevrienden]

The nice thing about the SY22 is that you can play the Korg A/D and SR with it, enjoying the use of the big vector joystick :-)) I payed € 35 for a beaten up SY22 especially for that ability !

@@deauvillevrienden I use to use my Korg Z1 XY touch pad for mixing the oscillators using midi controllers 16 and 17. It was awesome.

The lack of filters on the SY22 is made up with the FM Operators; you just create a resonant sweep with them... Perhaps a bit too advanced for a basic user.

While the VST sounds very close to the original, it strangely fails on some of the factory presets. For example the famous "Mini Lead", which could also be heard in Espen's demo song, does sound noticeably different in the VST. I have Wavestation EX and the VST, so am able to compare. The VST has all the card waveforms and a filter with resonance, so you can do many sounds you can't do on the original.

Sequential's "vector" technology had an interesting history. As well as Korg's wonderful Wavestation series, it was used in several of Yamaha's synths, notably the SY22 and SY35. I own an SY22, and it's a curious beast - great features based on the vector synthesis idea, but quite limited in the way the individual sounds are created.

@Espen Kraft instead of just using the analog inputs as just an effects unit and vocoder, you are supposed to be able to add the external audio in your chosen points in a wave sequence, along with the internal sounds. It wouldve been good if you had shown this being done with a wavesequence utilising external audio.

[@EspenKraft]

Yeah, that's right. You can use incoming audio as a wave in any patch. I had to cut a lot of stuff as the video started to get long enough. ;-)

Update: The battery replacement did nothing, my RAM banks are both still the same as the ROM one. Too bad. If anyone has a fix I'd greatly appreciate any help. Otherwise, I'll just take it as a sign that I need to start making new patches on it, and maybe get a WaveREX card too.
