@@LukezyM You have a very powerful arpeggiator & step sequencer and some pretty damn good filters in this synth, if you can't make techno with that you can't do it with anything.
24.41, i can hear elements from JMJ's Equinoxe album. I'm loving how you comment on every single thing you do. This will be extremely useful for all of us!! Subbed!!
Absolutely superb. As the previous poster said, a strong Jarre vibe - he is one of my favourite musicians, hope he gets to hear this! You are a true master of the Wavestate, and a very creative musician.
Thanks! I bought one of these today based on your video. I love making oldschool electronic music and this machine will be great for sonic backdrops of hypnotic melodic arp/seq as well as traditional harmonic drones to improvise over. It’s really the best of both worlds - performance heavy but also program heavy as well. 🤩
Thank you, Gary. It’s been rewarding to spend the time learning how to program this thing. Kind of a steep learning curve, but then my head was finally able to wrap itself around how it worked, and now I just get a flood of ideas that I want to explore.
@@vladimirvoevodich623 it is complicated, but still you can explore the presets and play around with them - my second was the minilogue xd - that might have been the better first one ;)
Thomas, I'm impressed! This is just super wunderbar Berliner Schule Musik! And knowing that it is live makes it so much more perfect! If I understood it well, every timber comes live from the Wavestate? Is that so? I'm thrilled by the power of this little synth just like it has been designed to make that kind of music!!! I felt like I was listening to first era Tangerine Dream performance here! Congratulations, truly...
Yep, every sound comes from the Wavestate. It’s all just one take, no overdubbing or daws involved. Just a very light mastering in Ozone 8 with a tiny bit of eq, and compressor.
@@Waveformer I've watched the presentation of the synth by Sonicstate and now I have enough information to conclude that the synth is awesome and very deep but the most impressive how you programmed it to obtain this result! Great synth, awesome musician
I loved how you made an incredibly interesting half hour journey... on ONE performance set that you designed. I want to purchase a Wavestate JUST FOR THAT ABILITY!!! Epic. And you created MORE performances. So cool.
Decided to wait for the Wavestate_Module version. I'm sure it will come eventually. I used to love my old Wavestation, but it was such a pain to program the bloody thing. It's the only reason I sold it all those years ago. But the soundscapes it produced were so beautiful.
Atm I'm doubting between the unique yet intimidating creative flow of the Wavestate and the beautiful FM synthesis of the Digitone Elektrone Keys for ambient soundscape design as my main hardware synth ^^ ... choices ...
Hello good sir, I‘m kind in awe about your wavestate and modwave performamces. Very good videos that I‘ll consult probably quite few times when I actually have one of those. The thing is that I need to decide for either the wavestate OR the modwave. And it‘s kind of hard for me to do that. Now you seem to have quite a good grip on both of them and I‘m wondering how‘d you decide if you had to. I want to use it alongside a groovebox (mc 707) and want to use it for…well…moving motion sequenzes or how you‘d call it. Embedded it some sort of psy/ambient/chill-style music. Maybe I could hear your opinion on which one you like better or which one might be more versatile in terms of creating organically moving sounds and sequenzes? That would be so nice. Anyways, have fun and thank you for showing us what those synths can!
Both synths are excellent and deep and lets you create complex (or simple) motion/wave-sequences. Wavestate is sample-based, so you can create a patch that fades smoothly between a choir, a cello, a classic synth sound, etc., or create a drum loop from samples. You can’t do that on a modwave. But on the modwave, You can morph through a wavetable with smooth transitions from waveform to waveform, and you can do oscillator sync, simple FM, AM and more. That’s not possible on the Wavestate. I’m not sure which I would have chosen if I only could have both. They are both great :-).
It is more or less ready. I’m preparing a demo video and will package everything up. Sometimes life is just too busy to get time to do the fun stuff. Hope to release something in June :-).
Very well performed and presented...and quite informative. I reckon I'll just have to take the plunge for this golden lyre of a synth. My wallet is squirming at thought, but this is just too nice a machine to pass by. Thanks for a great video...
You're an absolute beast on this thing! Would you say it's your favourite synth? It seems like it's enough for you to make full compositions on. Is there anything that you miss when working with it standalone?
Thanks :-). Yes, I think it’s my favorite at the moment. Especially the way the wave sequences work together with the arpeggiator enables me to design sounds and compose in a way I couldn’t do with any of my other synths. Lots of fun 😀. What I miss ... it would be nice if there were individual effect sends for the reverb for each channel.
Thanks, T-Dreamy motion synths, really good listening experience. I just got Wavestate and learning it. How did you get the larger display to work? Is that a hack or supported. Sub.
@@Waveformer Makes sense now. I thought maybe it was a hack like on my Montage, with the right combination you can output touch screen to a monitor, had that setup for a few years. Good video skills!
Beautiful sounds, love it. This synth seems like everything a hybrid synth should be, I like it still gets an analog kind of vibe. The only thing it’s lacking is aftertouch control. If you played this using breath control via MIDI I bet it would be amazing.
Quite brilliant. Thanks for sharing your workflow and the detailed notes on what's going on. I presume you start the arps going before all this. Does the Wavestate save these as a part of the performance?
Hi. I have purchased the patches but I don't know how to load additional patches. Sorry, but I'm a newbie, and your movies prompted me to buy Korg. Could someone tell me how to do it? Thank you in advance.
Hi. You first need to install the drivers for the Wavestate, and then install the Korg Wavestate librarian. This is described in the Wavestate manual. After that you can open either the complete set list or individual performances/patches in the Librarian, and the patches will be transferred to the Wavestate automatically. Marc Barnes has a video on this that might help you :-). ruclips.net/video/feaH097EUfc/видео.html
@@Waveformer Hi. Thank you. I received a message from the group that at the very beginning I should install the drivers and then the library editor. As I mentioned before, I am a novice and for me each stage is black magic ;) I can't find the drivers to download so could you help me again. Thanks. Greetings 👍
The drivers are here: www.korg.com/us/support/download/software/0/840/4519/ Make sure you follow the manual included in the download when you install the drivers.
Can someone help me please? I write drum and bass and I don't know if to go for the Wavestate for sounds like this or the Modwave to cast Evil Neuro basses? What's everyone's opinion?
Nice performance, great play 👍🏼. How do you capture such a play? Live audio recording, or midi recording (will midi record all the button movements too?)? Keep it up, ✌🏻
You have single handedly proved what a waste of time the wanna be Tangerine Dream we got stuck with is=----- both lame and uninspired. Tired acid jazz, I guess. THIS is terrific, wonderful and talented. With a slight polish this is amazing and very buy- able! Make a collection and sell the rights to me, I will share 50/50 ! lol and make waveformer a EDM household name. Do you want to allow us to do this? remember, silence is assent...lol
I was about to ask the same, thank you for being faster. I'm a big friend of (some!) of the works of the artists mentioned, and I'll need to dig deeper into "Berlin School". I associated "Berlin School" with with Mark Ernestus and Moritz von Oswald, and the dubtechno sound from BC, CR etc. I'm learning, thank you :) Also thanks for very smooth sounds
Looks like this thing can compete alone with your "traditional" kits containing: Microfreak, Monologue, MS-70CDRs and so on... I was very impressed with your performance and bought Microfreak + MS-70CDR to start some tryouts with Berlin school and ambient music. Looks like I know which thing will be next... Wavestate. It's real allrounder... I am afraid to imagine what it could do coupled with looper...
Yeah, the Wavestate is great. More complex to program, but not that much menu diving. Lots of useful knobs and buttons for direct control of parameters. The sound quality is great, as are the modulation options and the effects :-).
i hold you partly responsible for me rebuilding my music room so i can add live video to my youtube music vids. i really want to start recording me playing and not just put a still picture for the music videos. I also have put a lot of work into rebuilding my music room so it looks nice. I am not rich, so i scavenged for most of the construction supplies and wiring. I am getting very close to being finished, and hopefully i can finish in time to make a little christmas video. And if i dont make it, i wish you and yours a merry christmas and a much better new year.
brilliant...this is what i wanted to see the wavestate do.thankyou and merry xmas
The longer I watch this, the harder it becomes to not press the Buy Now button on this synth.
My wife is not happy with you, I am ha ha ha.
Haha 😂. My apologies to your wife.
This is way better than the official Korg tutorials and demos! Thank you!
I'm on day 3 of having this play on loop in the background while I work... still really enjoying this !
You're like the Wavestate guru! Beautiful sounds and composition.
Thank you, Tom 🎛🎶😊
I still can’t wrap my head around this synth. Would it be good for anything other than ambient, like techno or house?
@@LukezyM You have a very powerful arpeggiator & step sequencer and some pretty damn good filters in this synth, if you can't make techno with that you can't do it with anything.
