Korg Wavestate - Memory of a Dream

[@claudedanis5712]

Master piece ..... really !!!!!

[@edtraylen8581]

Love this piece, especially with the haunting pads layered in, very Tangerine Dreamish!

[@rayderrich]

I think I am in love with the WaveState... Great job!

[@Waveformer]

Thanks. It’s a great synth.

[@TheChristafershawn]

Very nice and Sunday.

[@Waveformer]

Thank you, Chris 😊

[@iharjula]

This is so wonderful. Absolutely great ambient regardless how it is implemented. On top of that you can see the full performance on a single synth. Some of the best patches are even available for studying and toying around.

[@hector3550]

Bravo Maestro!!

[@okeribok]

Only 17 comments?! A performance like this warrants at least 18!!

So beautiful😍

[@alchemist.D]

Beautiful patch

[@brucekirbyartist]

I love listening and watching someone who knows how to utilise this instrument, I have the Wavestate but I've been distracted by my Moog, this will give me inspiration to match the both of the up together ❤️ thanks again fir the great sounds and performance 🤙

[@ryv1049]

Allways the best with you !!!💜

[@Jason75913]

Lovely Wavestate performance!

[@kevinclarke9406]

So good...

[@liantrosretrospectiva4134]

nice and clever programming

[@awpMusic1]

love it - I don't use my Wavestate enough!

[@Sinevibes]

This is an absolute masterpiece!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you 😊.

[@brittlestrmusic407]

I always thought the Wavestate would be a great Berlin School instrument. You’ve totally vindicated that!

[@Waveformer]

😊

[@EDF76]

Great performance 😮 well done ❤

[@AstroOldenburg]

Great! You knows what you do. I have the Wavestate, too, and know how complex it is 🤟

[@Waveformer]

Greetings, fellow Wavestate explorer :-). It’s a constant journey with lots to learn every time I sit down and play.

[@vvv1787]

Thank you 🙂

[@kevincowart362]

I play with iWavestation on my phone when stuck at places with no gear. It boggles my mind one of Dave Smiths products is still ahead of its time even when he had left us. Legend is not a strong enough word.

[@Q-BOT]

Not related to the synth talk, but, Isn't it weird how watered down a word as powerful as LEGEND has become?

[@Waveformer]

Yeah, Dave is a true legend. Cool that Korg Carrie’s on his legacy in the Wavestate 🎹😀

[@Jason75913]

If there was more demand for workstations like the Wavestation, we would have had Korg build upon it long ago. We're barely getting its successor now because there is no demand, so this looks like an experiment by Korg. For sequencing, this isn't as practical as other gear or VSTs.

[@frankwolter850]

Top! I admire you working with the wavestate... The reason I also got one, but on the other hand a bit depressing to never reach your level of confidence with this machine. But it is nice playing with it and seeing what it is capable of. Great work. Thanks!

[@rodneilson5831]

Excellent as always, is this patch available, I don’t spend as much time with my Wavestate and modwave as I should. Fantastic 😉

[@Waveformer]

Thanks 😊. I go back and forth between the relatively complex and deep Wavestate and simpler synths like the MicroFreak. I haven’t had much time with the modwave lately, but it’s a great synth and I’ll get back to it after my soundbank for the Wavestate is finished.

[@Waveformer]

The patch will be part of my next soundbank for the Wavestate 🙂

[@amrowahbymusic]

Nice one

[@orchidsvoid]

So good ❤ I'm seriously considering buying Wavestate...

[@vladimirvoevodich623]

This performance is really amazing, but it's very hard to perform on Wavestate something like that - In january I bought WS being inspired by Thomas videos and some days ago I sold it cuz IT'S really great but VERY VERY complicated instrument. And you still can perform tracks like this using groovebox like Roland MC-101. For some people (like Thomas) it's a kind of competition with yourself to make such masterpieces but I do believe for 99% of people more important to achieve results with less effort.

[@orchidsvoid]

@@vladimirvoevodich623 thank you for explanation. I personally own Hydrasynth and it seems "easier" than Wavestate.

[@seoverus7805]

You produced the BEST Sounds in your packs, bought the both as I bought the WS ! Do we have a Christmas present coming soon in Volume 3 by any chance? Congrats on all your incredible output, I might also get the Microfreak because of your performances, just mainly for the sequencer/arp modulation as the sounds are not to my liking. Just bought the ZOOMCDR as well on sale at AZ :) Thank you sir!

[@Waveformer]

Thank you 😊. The next soundbank is in the works. Hopefully done before Christmas.

[@seoverus7805]

@@Waveformer Sold !!! Cant wait. Thank you.

[@mark35mi]

Brilliant as always. 3rd soundset coming? :)

[@ttttiiimmy10bit]

sick

[@thekitchensynth]

Lovely stuff as usual …maybe another downloadable set coming soon ??

[@ejimmysmits]

This beautiful! I have a question, are your soundbanks able to be fully uploaded to the Wavestate or does the synth need to be connect to computer/sound library to be used? Thank you! Excellent work!

[@Waveformer]

You need a computer running Korg’s Editor/Librarian to transfer the soundbank. After that you don’t need the computer anymore. The soundbank is stored on the Wavestate hardware and stays there even if you power off the synth, disconnect it from the computer, etc. :-)

[@Sopharette]

How many times did you have to record this until you got it right?

[@Waveformer]

Well, I did just one take. And that’s what you hear in the video. But I had prepared some jam notes in advance and did a few practice rounds before I hit record. Every time around it sounded a bit different, but that’s what you get when you jam live as opposed to recording track by track and polish it afterwards. It’s far from perfect, but it’s live :-).

[@smartti1970]

Are the sequences on board ? Or music you created ?

[@Waveformer]

It’s a live improvisation without preprogrammed sequences in the regular sense. I do use arpeggiators, though. And, the performance uses the wave sequence feature of the Wavestate, so the sample and sound parameters change synchronized to the beat.

[@smartti1970]

@@Waveformer ok... very nice... thanks for you reply

[@ЮраДед-е1ъ]

Reminds sound game console Dandy

[@Waveformer]

😊

[@vladikuz]

@@Waveformerjust for information: game console Dendy - is a clone of NES, distributed in ex USSR territories, in early 90s. So, in my opinion, your beautiful sounds is not (and never) reminds sounds of NES!

[@Waveformer]

@@vladikuz cool! I didn’t know about the Dandy console. I googled it now and it has a nice old school sound. I used the decimator effect on the Wavestate to emulate old 8 and 12 bit D/A converters. I guess I’m nostalgic and like the sound of old gaming consoles 😁.

[@vladikuz]

@@Waveformer:) ahh.. but, yes, agree - the decimator is make sounds slightly remembered to sounds of 8-bit consoles ("chiptunes").

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

Some buy a Moog one for music like this.😉

[@Waveformer]

Hehe 😁. I think the filters in the Wavestate are quite good, actually, even though it’s not a Moog.
