[ClandestineMonarchy]

This must be the gayest sounding synthesizer on earth.... yet I just bought one :-)

[Sternenmaschinebine]

Rolling Synthesizer-Arpeggios also here, such "Endless Waves", really... I like also the Spheric Synthesizer-Sounds. I know, why I have favourited this very nice Video...

thank you

[Reinhard6666]

beautiful...beautiful !....... thanks for sharing !

[retrosound72]

@Reinhard6666 thank you

[TheVincentPROduction]

yeah! freu mich schon

[TheVincentPROduction]

what´s the difference between wavestation and m1?

[retrosound72]

Da gibt es sehr viel Unterschiede, allein schon von Konzept her. Die WS ist ein Synthesizer mit weitreichenden Funktionen zur Klangbeeinflussung (Vector-Synthese und Wave Sequencing) ich verweise mal auf mein Review über die WS bei Amazona punkt de.

Die M1 ist als Workstation (die erste überhaupt) konzipiert, also mit breit gefächertem Sample-Material, Sequenzer, Effekte usw.

Das ist ein Brot und Butter Rom-Sample Synth. Die Klangsynthese ist längst nicht so umfangreich als bei der WS.

[TheVincentPROduction]

suuuppergeil! freu mich extrem über die schnelle antwort vielen dank ;)

war vielleicht eine etwas leihenhafte frage, aber das hatte ich mich gefragt, weil die sich äusserlich so ähnlich sind.

denke gerade darüber nach mir ne m1 zu kaufen

hast du ne m1?

[retrosound72]

Ich habe die M1 schon gespielt aber das ist schon etliche Jahre her. Die Samples sind halt frühe 90ér, d.h. etwas Hauch und Röchel, das typische M1 Piano (Robert Miles läßt grüßen) und andere nette Sounds die sich in der Standart Sound Ecke bewegen. Einfach ausprobieren und bei Nichtgefallen wieder zum gleichen Kurs verkaufen.

[TheVincentPROduction]

danke für die tipps

ist ja auch garnichtmal teuer im vergleich zu anderen synths ...

gibt´s da auch ne rack - version von?

[retrosound72]

ja um die 200 EURO, als Rack auch zu haben

Das EX Upgrade hat mehr Wellenformen drin

[TheVincentPROduction]

vielen dank für die auskunft

das video ist übrigends klasse!

würd mich freuen wenn vlt demnächst nochmal was vom juno 60 zu hören wäre ;)

[retrosound72]

danke und gern geschehen

vom Juno-60 kommt noch viel (ist einer meiner Favoriten)  und in 2-3 Wochen ein Special zum JU-60 und auch noch zum JU-106

[MARANTZamp]

the m1 is a ROMpler, the wavestation is a vector synth

[dj9volt]

this is freaking epic, is there any way i can get an mp3 of this??

[beautifulmicia]

The Wavestation is a one-of-a-kind. Even the Wavestation on the Oasys can not even come close. The SR sounds the best but you will need to obtain an EX or AD to be able to vector with the stick. The Masterbits sound cards contain the absolute best programming for this unit.

[RetroSoundsDA]

Great demo. I'll be getting one of these on Friday :D

[retrosound72]

cool!

thank you

[frmadrigal]

I´ve been having troubles with my wife for spending hours and hours playing and programming sounds on this amazing mchine.I´.ve got an AD workstation and oh man,it.s easy to fall in love with it!!!

[retrosound72]

I agree with you but trouble with the wife is not good. ;)

[kekenalii]

the wavestation a/d is the best of the 3.

it is also aoutboard effects processor. really good in my opinion. and it have one more bank than a wavestation keyboard...so, yeah buy a a/d...i got one and it's SICK!!!!!!!!!!

buy the wavestation survival kit off ebay...its worth it...tons of patches.

word.

[THEDEFOCATOR]

Does anyone know if you can use soundiver or MOTU's Unisyn to program these?

[retrosound72]

sounddiver yes

[retrosound72]

good luck!

thank you :)

[hirundotube]

You're like a database of cool hardware synth sounds. Thank you so much for posting all these videos, and keep them coming! I'm bidding on a JD800 today--wish me luck!

[Sailjunkie61]

Hi: Looks like I'm buying a WS 1 for $200.00. This would complete my setup. I have analog, analog modeling , FM linear, FM sampling, and now FM Vector. This seems like a very interesting synth...Love sweeping filters etc. Question: have you ever had to replace the internal ROM battery?

[impuniverso]

Yes i did it. Quite easy, but you have to backup ALL the internal memory, or you gonna lose your sounds.

[Inkoddi]

I have had to replace the RAM battery on my KORG WS1. It is quite easy though. All you need to do is flip it upside down, unscrew all the screws, move all the dust out of the way and there it sits in plain sight; a CR2032 lithium battery, available at your local store that sells many kinds of batteries.

[rg2027x]

is this all Wavestation or JD800 in there too? or D50 voices?

[retrosound72]

only Wavestation

[myrmur]

Wonderful...

What are the differences in comparison with the Wavestation SR?

[retrosound72]

the SR has no vector stick and the user interface is shit but the sound is a little bit better

[myrmur]

So is there something SR can do and EX (your version, right?) can not?

[retrosound72]

I have my EX sold for 6 years. I have only the SR today.

[mik300z]

Absolutely beautiful, the beginning reminds me of direct by vangelis. wonderful synth and composition

[retrosound72]

thanks a lot :)

[vjrei]

I just bought an A/D, lets see. Is midi syncable so good enought. Pitty I believe I can not control the filters in real time :s But I have too many Rolands (D50, JD800, JV90) and I needed a different texture bad.

[synthisist]

If I'm not mistaken, Korg bought the rights for the wave from Sequential Circuits's Prophet Wave, or something like that, when S.C. went bankrupt. If this is true, then this Korg wave is a semi-Prophet with ex-Prophet technology. A bit like Arp buying the Siel Orchestra and calling it the Arp Quartet, or Rhodes buying the Arp Chroma and calling it the Rhodes Chroma.

So this is perhaps the last "Prophet" before Dave Smith's re-creations....

Is this more or less true?

[retrosound72]

Dave Smith from SCI the inventor of the legendary Prophet VS vector synth developed the Wavestation as advanced vector synth for Korg. But the two synth are very different.

[twelvebits]

Beautiful!! This would make a fantastic movie soundtrack. Reminds me of a David Lynch movie (who was that italian composer again..?). IMO a synth soundtrack like this one creates a much deeper and more emotional atmosphere than an average John Williams -style orchestrated soundtrack (which in today's films and video games nearly all sound alike). Keep up the good work!

[retrosound72]

thank you for your nice comment :)

[taemurz]

RS, top example once again dude .. very inspiring indeed .. keep 'em coming ..

[retrosound72]

thx a lot

[watchyourback12]

beutiful music i feel very inspired

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[rodolphesimon]

I had a wavestation, very powerful machine.

I kind of regret selling it but it was very

difficult to program. I wish Korg would introduce an updated version of this synth with a knob interface.

[feedphillipnow]

I had one too I loved it, but alas... I sold mine as well. It was a tough one to program, I agree.

[PHAEDRIDER]

that was awesome! i feel inspired!

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[calle68]

Wow, Retrosound! You rule! Great soundscape and perfect quality in stereo .. the chord sequence is .. appropriate to show this amazing piece of hardware!

[retrosound72]

thx a lot :))

[3dcandy]

sounds very angelis(ish) like from around the Direct period

[retrosound72]

thanks :)

[MoritzxD]

sounds awesome

[retrosound72]

Guten Morgen!

Jetzt schon auf oder immer noch? ;-)

Ich freu mich wenn es dir gefallen hat.

[TR0jAX]

Ja gute Frage, mein Schlafrhytmus ist noch vom letzten Freitag Irgendwie aus den Fugen geraten. :o)

[Idium86]

Sounds great! Definitely one of the coolest souding Korg synths out there. I never realy understood how to program it though...

[retrosound72]

thx a lot :)

[buchla300]

Great demo!

[billcosby8492]

very relaxing... my favorite synth was the one at the beginning, i'll have to keep that one in mind!

[retrosound72]

hi, thanks for watching and your nice comment

[Tyblubearboy]

That's the kind of sound I like to wake up to in the morning. Very soothing :)

:)) thx a lot

[ASMILEMUSIC]

Sehr gutes Video!

[retrosound72]

dank dir :)

[synthem]

this could have gone on for ten more minutes as far as i'm concerned. i wouldn't have minded at all.

thanks for sharing. there are few things more beautiful than music.

[retrosound72]

thanks for watching and your nice comment

[MarcS4R]

der geilste chorus kommt immer noch von der Wavestation...

und flächentechnisch mindestens genauso gut wie mein JD ...

[retrosound72]

Roland JD und Wavestation sind die unangefochtenen Padmaschinen.

[SpringDivers]

Simply beautiful. Thanks much.

[retrosound72]

Hi,

thx a lot for the comment.

[VANVALIS]

wow,that is really cool!

[retrosound72]
