As a result - with a single patch and one wavesequence per tone, you can create some of the most complex evolving synth sounds you can imagine - just by moving the joystick. With vector synthesis you are performing two-dimensional crossfade between 4 tones of the patch. Or get SY-22 / SY-35 and use its joystick to control wavestation vectors.

You will miss the fun with joystick! You will need to program dynamic vectors instead, but that can never be expressive as your hand moving the joystick. But i think SR version is not the best choice. If you are lazy, don't want to set up envelopes, just use a macro. In fact some things are simpler on Wavestation than on other synths, because you have macros. Only difference is that instead of single oscillator, you can build a wave sequence and you got vector synthesis. I took the manual, spent few hours, next day i was programming it. Can it do things that others can not do? ThanksĪt first the logic of the layout seemed a bit hard to understand. It seems like there is a lot to choose from.Īnyone have any tips on programming the SR or any good links on programming or any links on any performances? Basically with the SR you can have a total of 32 oscillators each with its own 'wave'.Īnyone else here ever get around to learning how to program the SR or Wavestations? Is it really worth programming any patches or performances for myself? It seems like there are a good amount of decent performances that came with the SR. I have the basics now and it still is overwhelming. Each osc can be programed with 'pcm waves'.Īt first I thought It would be overwhelming to learn to program the SR.

And in each independent part you uses a patch that is basically a holder for 1,2,4 oscilators. You get a total of 8 parts you can use in a performance. It is weird how Korg made the layout of the Wavestation. It seems to have some very good waveforms to make patches then make performances. At first the logic of the layout seemed a bit hard to understand. I have been learning how to program the Wavestation SR.
