I really appreciate your repeated, detailed videos on the Modwave. I own this incredible little synth for 1.5 years now and think it's massively underrated. It just doesn't get the recognition it deserves. If KORG had put it in a solid metal case with aluminum knobs, a fine Fatar keybed, and a bigger display, it would long have been a modern legend. And of course much more expensive... Instead, it will always retain the status of a cheap entry-level synth. Which, in essence, it is not, not at all. It's a monster!

This is wonderful, thanks so much. I love my modwave and have been recently trying to create more analog sounds, so your tutorial was a great help in my understanding of the parameters to tweak/modulate to achieve this.

[@AviPFine]

Love how this sounds, really brings a warm tone to modwave. Great tutorial

[@chrisedu]

this is great! I've been looking for resources on making the most of modwave and here you go, also, with free patches to download! Can't thank you enough!

[@IanDixonTDL]

No problem! More patches coming soon

[@SouthShoreSonics]

Sweet stuff!

[@IanDixonTDL]

Thanks!

@@IanDixonTDL I think you will really love the changes coming to the OS of the mk1 after beta testing. I am not a beta tester, but my new mk2 is sweet!

[@IanDixonTDL]

I plan to produce some more patches taking advantage of some of the new features

[@regfield1461]

Thanks Ian, really helpful and clear, I'll need to watch this one a few times! I love your tutorials and sounds you get - so inspiring, keep up the good work, and happy new year 😎

[@IanDixonTDL]

Thanks, if you have any other suggestions for video topics let me know!

[@roberto.a.cumsille]

Good sounds and tutorial ! Thanks

[@IanDixonTDL]

Glad you liked it!

One sound you haven't attempted yet is the Polymoog Vox Humana. I used the instructions on a different UA-cam video (ua-cam.com/video/W1mi1L1AuSI/v-deo.html) which are demonstrated on a Kurzweil synth but I couldn't even get close on my Modwave. It needs a square osc, a saw osc, pwm and separate pitch modulations but the basic oscillators don't seem warm enough in sound. I got much better results on the Surge VST plugin but I'd be interested to know if anyone has attempted this tricky patch on the Modwave.

[@IanDixonTDL]

Just had a quick go and got, and I think I got close. When you put the phaser on, its sounds pretty close. I will work on it and then if i get close i will do a video and upload the patch

@@IanDixonTDL Ooh... looking forward to that one. You will make some older players very happy!
