On the “Let’s Make Synthwave!” show I’ll be creating synthwave 100% live, starting with an 8 bar loop and turning it into 60-90 seconds of music.In this episode I’ll be making music only using the Korg Wavestation for all my synth needs.
The Korg Wavestation is a digital synthesizer first introduced by Korg in 1990. It is renowned for its advanced vector synthesis capabilities, which allow for dynamic blending of multiple waveforms to create evolving and complex sounds.

This video just has so much goodness for my ears. :) The WaveStation and the M1 are two of my favorite synths. As much as I love synthwave, I have a hard time limiting myself to the "traditional" more analog sounds. I love them, but I love these digital synths too, and are so much a part of my musical background. Freedom of (musical) expression! :)
I agree with you 100% lately I've fallen in love with digital and FM synthesis and there's so much nuance and sophistication in the sounds these synths can make. Definitely worthwhile to use as much as possible in our productions. Thanks for watching my friend!
Oops. I missed it. Watching now. Get set. Ready. Go. Dojo.
I hope you liked it! 😉
Picked this up a while back for some ambient dnb, very excited to see what you make with it here!
You'll be surprised by the amazing synthwave stuff you can do with it 😉
Great video! I was wondering when you transposed the toms, is there an "academically proper" guideline when you want to set the tuning of a 4 or 5 tom setup or one can tune them however he likes and thinks that sounds right?
Great question. First of all, either use 2 toms or 3, not 4 or more. Most drum kits have 3 toms or less, over 3 is very prog rock 😉. You can take two approaches:
1) Simple- make sure your toms are a good 2-4 semitones apart so they sound different to you
2) Complex - tune them a perfect 4th or perfect 5th apart. Don't try this, stick with #1 😂
@@SynthwaveDojo thanks a lot!!!!! I will try and the 2nt thing since i like to try "academic" things....
Everytime I hear that Scream Lead my hair starts blowing in the wind and my room fills with smoke. Is this normal?
Totally 🤭🫣☺️
Regarding the low volume output of Wavestation you may go at "Settings" and at the bottom it has an option "Output Gain". You may set it up to +12dB, but as i said the interface is incomprehensible...
Thanks for the tip. Thing is that the setting doesn't save for the next time you open the synth, you have to do it every time 😥
This is a message to the Guys at Korg....
Guys please hire a good UX designer and change the "advanced" settings of your M1 & Wavestation... you made the VST's and since they run in a huge screen its a pity to have such BS interface.... you suppose to make it easy for us.... please? This thing is incomprehensible at least, and probably the UX was made by engineers, not designers/musicians ... Please take a look how Arturia or UVI did it????
I feel your pain. It seems Korg wasn't too concerned with the UX when they made these plugins, they are super dated in terms of looks and hard to use. Possibly they just wanted to get the sound of the hardware and make it available as plugins as quickly as possible. Quite a bummer really
