    I had the EX in early '92....and it stayed with me for some 14 years. it's been some 13 years now and the signature Korg Wavestiation EX sounds brought back many memories! Likely, the best synth in the 90's for film score and studio work. I am not in the same league with UJIIE-san, Sir. you are awesome man 驚くばかり !!! I had my fun playing and creating with the EX.
    Massive Thanks for doing this demo with the old grand Wavestation EX!

    I had the Korg Wavestation EX and SR, then years later bought the VSTi version and imho they sound very similar or at least the plugin is very close, maybe even a bit cleaner because of 16bit 44khz conversion for modern soundcards.

  • @possumridgeentertainment4614
    @possumridgeentertainment4614 4 роки тому +2

    I think the one at 7:54 was the one Tony Banks used on the instrumental section of Fading Lights. Pretty sure he edited it to be polyphonic, though, unless that was just functionality Korg added to the VST release.

    • @possumridgeentertainment4614
      @possumridgeentertainment4614 3 роки тому

      @Rachel L. Gore Do you think he edited it to be polyphonic? I've seen footage of him playing it live and there's no overlap between the notes as he moves around the keyboard like you'd expect from a polyphonic patch, but there is definite polyphony for about eight measures.
      By the way, I'm jealous. I only have 1/3 of my dream setup, which is a Yamaha DX7. I'd need a Wavestation and a Prophet 5 to complete it, but the hardware is prohibitively expensive. Right now I have to settle for the Wavestation VST Korg released.
      Fortunately the Wavestate, which also includes the vector controller, is surprisingly cheap and it's the first synthesizer I've actually gotten excited about at release so it will make a great MIDI controller for my VST along with the onboard sounds.

    Along with the Roland JD-800, these are the deepest programmable, most customizable _wonder synths_ ever created in the 90s! If you're into spending mucho time working with this particular monster to create that "one of a kind" sound or patch, look no further, but be forewarned, because finding one in perfect to good working order after all this time is _NEVER_ going to be a cheap undertaking! You might be better off with a more recent Korg _Wavestate!_

    核になるパッチ音(通常のシンセで言うトーン)にオーソドックスな音が用意されてないので、作らなきゃならないのだが⁉️
    とにかくまず…ウェイヴとパッチとパフォーマンスの関係性が見えないと、素晴らしい音が作れない。(笑)

    @CoTeCiOtm 7 років тому +13

    I've read some comments here comparing this keyboard with the Prophet VS and I checked it out, but I must say, even when they follow similar principles and the VS has certain features this one doesn't, they both sound quite different, I'm pretty sure I could do stuff in a Wavestation that I couldn't on a VS and viceversa. I don't get that need of some people to shit on some device in favor of another. Grow up, seriously.

    • @jaggass

      I remember a nice one page ad with Jan Hammer on it saying when he wanted to explore the infinite he chose the Wavestation. I wished I'd taken that advice back in the late 80s.

    • @koelekahuna9370
      @koelekahuna9370 5 років тому

      Dave Smith made them both. The WS has a ton of VS samples and generally was an evolution of the VS. I love my WS, it's very unique.

    • @wavesequencer
      @wavesequencer Рік тому

      The VS doesn't have Wavesequences or the extensive patch layering/multi-timbral capabilities of the Wavestation, but it does have analog filters with resonance (the digital filter with no resonance is the real weak point of the Wavestation). The Wavestation design team (headed up by ex-Sequential folk) apparently tried to make up for the lack of resonant filters by including sweep-able tables of prophet VS samples with different amounts of resonance applied. The new Wavestate makes up for many of the things missing in both the VS and Wavestation (a better front panel for one thing), but has less layering capabilities than the Wavestation.

    Unique instrument. The joystick is the reminiscent of the D-50, sort of, but I am sure the joystic movements on Wavestation can be recorded either into the internal envelope or external sequencer, or both. Not sure. I tried those type of envelopes on SY22, which is related to the Wavestation. Anyway, the wave sequencing is a fantastic concept, the smooth morphing of the waveforms, and there could be so many waveforms in a sequence. Not sure about the rhythmic ones, that borders on an arpeggiator/auto-accompaniment keyboards, which was the beginning of the end of respect for synthesizer players in general. Anyway, I like the smooth waveform morphing in the Wavestation.

      The Central Scrutinizer the acoustic souds maybe, but the others not at all. also what outdated means in music as the 70s, 80s and 90s still have a huge influence ?
