Most people look at wave sequencing as being at the core of the wavestate and its predecessors the Korg Wavestations. Let's get to know the Korg wavestate, shall we?įirst some background to explain where I'm coming from on this review, including some history. I'd like to thank you all for being so kind to me on my first foray into the GearLab now it's time to begin a discussion of another synth that has had me seriously intrigued for a long time. Have had the Korg Legacy software collection for a while, but am giving the hardware a shot as from the comparisons I’ve listened to so far, sounds more wide and full.Hello everyone. Does this sound correct?Įdit: forgot to mention this is for a newly acquired Wavestation SR. Whereas the WPC cards provide the benefit of added PCMs and may be worth acquiring. I take it that the non-WPC ones are purely patches without adding PCMs to the unit, and so if I can attain those banks purely as sysex I’d be fine in that department. I’m currently being offered from a private seller to purchase the following Wavestation sound cards: Its not a big deal once you know whats going on but it could be a case for getting an EX to begin with. still I usually try to load another known patch bank over the 'corrupt 'bank & sometimes it works, but usually not. Just turn WS upside down ,remove the 20 or whatever screws & the bottom panel,, locate & remove the battery cell for a few minutes, then put it back ( or replace if necessary) & the W.S. The solution was /can be a bit of a hassle, but is straightforward.
When this happened to me the first time I was alarmed, but some of the SOS WS gurus & original patch designers helped me out by explaining that the problem was caused by me unwittingly loading WS EX patches into my original WS, & the fact that it didnt have the waveforms in the patches borked it.
actually 'sieze', stop working & fail to boot! One thing to note if you are loading Sysex patches ( banks from internet etc) certain banks can make the W.S. The original aesthetic/ design was fine/ perfect imo, but the A/D with the inputs for using input sources in wave sequencing sounds like a very interesting proposition as well as the vocoder which is supposed to be decent. Korg only added the extra waves because 'the people' were clamoring for piano & drum sounds ,which is what they ('the people') all seemed to want in the early 90s. unless you wanted the extra (cheese mostly imho) samples. I would say apart from the extra vocoder efx in the EX personally there isnt any advantage over the original W.S. I need a new display or to disengage the inverter. I have the original keyboard (since the late 90s) & still havn't fixed my display whine, it doesnt affect the signal though. On either of the keyboards, be prepared for the display inverter whine racket, you may be lucky & find one that has a new or modded display that fixes this noisy & tiresome issue.
