Magnetar Flares - Korg Wavestate

Here's a live jam on the Korg Wavestate synthesizer, using a custom 4-layer patch. The video includes patch notes in the video description and as text overlays.
The patch is a part of the "Berlin School and Ambient Construction Kit Vol 3" soundbank available for purchase here: waveformer.gum...
Wavestate performance mod knobs:
Knob 1: Layer A (arp melody) Octave
Knob 2: Layer B (arp bass) Octave
Knob 3: Layer C (lead/pad) Octave
Knob 4: Layer D (perc) Octave
Knob 5: Layer A (arp melody) Amp Level
Knob 6: Layer B (arp bass) Amp Level
Knob 7: Layer C (lead/pad) Amp Level
Knob 8: Layer D (perc) Amp Level
Joystick X changes the Sample for Layer C (Lead/Pad).
Joystick Y changes the Filter Cutoff Frequency for Layer C (Lead/Pad).
ModWheel increase dreaminess. Move towards max to turn Layer C from a lead sound into a pad. Increases Pan modulation on Layer A. Increases Reverb Mix too.
The audio is recorded to SD card on a KP2S effect/recorder box and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 18 (free version).

Hei Thomas, please release please release; i can't wait anymore😋☺ This patch could become my favourite one ever, but at least on of three. I hope the "soon-to-be-released soundbank" goes to "very-soon-to-be-released soundbank" the next days...🙃 Greetings to Norway

Classic Waveformer 👍👏👏🎶

[@SynthoidSounds]

Excellent example of the artform, very well done . . .

[@rayderrich]

When you realize the magic in the playing is just a bit after all the magic that went into the creation of this patch. You inspire more than you might know.

[@LinkFMMik]

I could listen to this forever!

[@trespelos]

love this format. super informative. thanks!

[@mark35mi]

Brilliant as always. Love these walk-through vids. Looking forward to the next set. Bravo

[@amicamusica-felix]

FANTASTIC 🎉 GREAT SOUNDS

[@thollem]

Lovely music and helpful tutorial as well. I wish I had seen your channel while I still had the Wavestate!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm loving your live performances with the wavestate. I hadn't imagined it could be used for that kind of music. Very inspiring!

[@thollem]

@@Waveformer I really appreciate that! I also have quite a few albums I've recorded solely with the Wavestate from experimental collaborations with many other musicians to an album of solo songs. I even have an album coming out with Nels Cline and Terry Riley that I 'mixed' on the Wavestate using samples from our original recordings. I don't want to advertise on your channel, but let me know and I'm more than happy to share URLs with you. And I'm sure one of these days I'll come back to the Wavestate and will do so with even more understanding of it because of your videos.

Woah, magic performed live!

[@pgibouin]

Great music, this is a trully new way to make use of the Wavestate on KZbin. I appreciate the way you explain things. Please post more of vidéos like this one.

[@GR-uw7yc]

Another Masterclass!

[@sergemassa2937]

Thanks for this great moment in music ..

[@mops58]

Nice. The Wavestate is realy cool synth.

[@paulheskett8358]

Another stunning example of your skill as a sound designer and a musician, Thomas 👏 This is brilliant - I’m so looking forward to this soundset 🙏

[@brunoooots]

we need this new soundbank urgently

[@TomSkulander]

Very nice Thomas

[@thekitchensynth]

🙏…top quality as usual …well done!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Awesome!

[@danfry909]

Wow, superb work! I love it.

[@DoctorRevers]

So good. Feeling like I’m going to have one of those of my own some day.

[@craigmakarowski6460]

Awesome patch, your work is so cool!!! 🙂

[@GerenM63]

This is excellent! Some bits evoke various memories of Pink Floyd tunes (which I really enjoy). Thanks for sharing!

[@ambioticfluid294]

That sounds cool

[@davidl8094]

Very nice....

[@ЮраДед-е1ъ]

Perfectly! ❤

[@Naturerlebnis1234]

Nice👍

[@gnosis6073]

Shame Korgs factory presets aren't anywhere close to this level. So many of them don't even have anything assigned to the performance knobs

[@a2roland]

Hahahahaha, but then, that's Korg!!! 👏👏😂🤣😜

[@303machine]

Nick Batts and Daniel Fisher made good use of factory presets. And Jan Hammer used default Sky Jam preset from Wavestation in one of his songs for Virtual Reality album.

[@gnosis6073]

@@303machine Yes but those presets were better than the ones shipped with the Wavestate that doesn't even exploit the performance functions it has available. The test will be seeing if current artists use the Wavestate presets....far less likely I feel

[@awpMusic1]

ace!

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Awesome! Thank you for these wonderful sounds. Super well done. I hope all is well in Your world 🌎. Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

[@Waveformer]

Hi Mark. All is well here :-). In Norway we currently have this strange season where we can have a meter of snow outside, but still walk around in our T-Shirts in 20 degrees celcius on a sunny day. And then it’s freezing and snowing during the night. But summer is coming… 😀🎶

[@303machine]

It's not just about presets, it's about player skills. You need to know what you are doing and having skills to make patches or presets shine. Wavestate is type of synthesiser which require reading manual to grasp everything better. It is not as intuitive as in your face subtractive synth.
