Thank you for the video! Amazing sounds! To be honest, I’m afraid to buy this because it looks so difficult to operate. I have a Minilogue XD which I love. Now I’m deciding between this, the Hydrasynth, the Argon 8, and the (old but great) Blofeld. Minilogue for bass, leads, and one of those for ambient pads. Suggestions from everyone are very welcome. Thanks again for the video!
Thank you for the input! How was your learning curve on this one? Some of the videos that I’ve watched made it look like it would take quite some time to master. Then again videos can be very deceiving, and it does sound incredible :)
@@rationalthinker1 Im almost positive your totally wrong,how many hundreds of movies has omnisphere been used in?or for that matter any keyboard or instrument,if you create your own music and copyright it,it is not instrument exclusive,that is nuts,that means you could never record any stock presets on any instrument and claim the musicas your own whether it’s a Gibson guitar or Yamaha montage or korg kronos,you don’t have to be a huge music corporation to create music on an instrument,that is just stupid,that would be like Steinway suing billy Joel because he recorded a hit song using a Steinway,total b.s.
Im having exactly the same wonder!!! It looks hard to operate and i too have a minilogue!!! Wich is waaay easy. Let me know if you pull the trigger pleaseeeeee!!!
@@robertmichalscheck3072 yes very well said I agree... The patches are almost complete ambient pieces in themselves! Just so damn inspirational... But a few tweaks and chop in Ableton and you've made it your own... As Louis Walsh would say...lol
It sounds great. I don't really understand it though. It has these "wave-patterns" or sequences, that are premade little sequence patterns that you can tweak and play along to? Is that a correct description? And you can create your own sequences too? But it has no drum sounds?
you can use a combination of samples and classic subtractive synthesis. basically you can use interesting noises, sound effects and instrument samples combined with wavetables and waveforms and then put them through subtractive filtering. its a little bit like the roland d50 but with way more different full length samples and stuff
@@MrSpasticdancer any modern rompler kills D-50, if we're talking about all the editable synths starting with MX49 at minimum and going up to Fantom, Kronos2, and Montage
@Жан Клон Yeah, if you want very specifically the D-50's sound, there's nothing like it. I doubt many people look for D-50 sound outside of folks specifically wanting D-50 patches and other vintage sounds. The EG's are unique in their structure, but the sweet spots depending on what kinds of sounds you want to make are limited. The filter is poop. Modulation options are bare bones. Only two single cycle waveforms, sort of like the Juno-106. The list goes on. What patch designs that can take advantage of the extra AD stages of the EGs are easily replicated in modern synths using a second patch/synth or automation or a modwheel with the right mod routings. Modern romplers have much less limitations, plus multi-timbrality and much greater sound pallettes, which makes D-50 suboptimal for general use, not something to go out and seek outside of niche uses or unless you already have one.
just wait until you hear what it can do from a simple sine wave building something from scratch. thats where it becomes something else entirely altho the sound its comes with a pretty sick. limitless machine really
@@joonglegamer9898 Its hard to believe they allowed 4GB, unheard of if you are used to other manufacturers beginning with R who still havent put multisampling in their flagship desktop units. This really changes the whole nature of the synth imo as its like having a good multisampler built in and you can load up all your fav libraries and layer some really impressive sounds. I have a couple of issues with the software but its working and can live with the shortcomings until resolved but this is now one of my fav synths.
@@maccagrabme It's free software, but the import possibility opens up a whole new world, if you're not satisfied with the limitation of the software sample editor, there's a superior piece of software called Sample Robot. It can help you create custom looping and compatible settings + import entire synthesizers including their settings, and exporting them to the likes of Yamaha Montage, Korg Wavestate etc. Just a tip.

0:43 0:49 those two patches have sold me alone oh my
Great synth. Nice playing!
Dang i think the piano sold me
Me too!! So moody and deep
7:35 for those interested.
Korg: Let's make exciting new synths that build upon our past innovations, yet project the technology forward. Roland: Best we can do is a tiny impostor of a past classic with unusable controls.
Many sounds reminds me of the old Deus Ex game, which music I love till today.
7.35 piano playing is so beautiful. Do you write any original material like this? Seems like a really cool synth for not that much money
Si percepisce "QUEL" suono là... identità Korg al 100%
How many presets are there?
What are the PCM sample sounds like? Can you get a good EP etc or Kronos sounds on it as well
Strange how none of these preset patches are on my wavestate!!!
Great video. How does the keybed feel?
Very light 😅
Beh! E' bello oh!💪
E occupa anche poco spazio!! 😏

It's a Wavestate synth. It has samples too so drums as well
It has the best sounds that i' ve ever seen...is it analogic ?
100% digital ;)
@@DKS-SYNTH-LAB oh it seems analogic - beautiful instrument
@@jeanlot what is analogic?sounds like a cool new digital/analog hybrid thing or something ha
Molto interessante!
Is it possible to synth own sounds ? or have to work on samples only ?

Is the Mki the same built quality as the Mkii? Worth the upgrade?
Same quality, only more polyphony and some new sounds (also compatibles with mk1)
@@DKS-SYNTH-LABmakes sense to pick up a used mki then! Half the price of a new mkii so I’ll go that route 👍🏻
Think its better than they roland xm and half the price
Is this the MK2?
Mk1, this is a 3 yrs old video (october 2020)
Are these your custom presets or are they stock?
Presets ;)
what preset at 4:05 and 4:41
This is a very complex synth to get the best out of it.
Yes not the most user friendly in the market but is a great instrument!
Do this version support yours own samples ?
Maybe in the future, not now
@@DKS-SYNTH-LAB It does NOW! :) There's a Sample editor and an Instrument editor for it now. And you get a whopping 4 GB for your own projects.

Sounds like a VSTi!
Well it does have a VSTi version and VSTi's sound great.
I own the hardware, from they were first released and it's my favourite digital synth.
Servirebbe una bella versione desktop alleggerita anche di 100€ :), dal form factor si direbbe che è nelle intenzioni di korg
Servirebbe anche una versione 61 con display più grande ;)
DKS SYNTH LAB mi sa che quella non te la fanno :)
Peccato 😅🤣

What going on nerves personally to me is that the fact most patches are hold one note and see what will happen.
Sound design in a form of art.
@@gctechs Left for artist to design nothing.
