The first patch sounded very very similar to the D-50's pcm loop in the patch called Digital Native Dance, it almost sounds just like it. Interesting similarities.
The original Wavestation keyboard had 365 Rom waveforms - mostly synthetic sounds. There's one permanent Rom bank with 50 Performances (combos of patches with FX), 35 Patches & 32 Wave Sequences (lists of waves that play in order, used like oscillators in a patch). Two Ram banks each hold the same amount of Performances etc for your own sounds. 32 note polyphony & 8 part multi timbral.
WS EX keyboard had an additional 150 Rom waveforms including some real instruments & drums.
Wavestation A/D rack (2u) - extra Rom waves like EX, plus an extra Ram bank (3 Ram banks in total) & analogue inputs for processing external audio. Wavestation SR rack (1u) - same as the A/D, but lost the analog inputs, big screen & vector joystick, then added a further 7 permanent Rom banks of presets.
Seems like the EX, A/D and SR are 16 part multi timbral but I'm not 100%.
All the WS can take cards that give you another Ram bank.
my wavestation ex still gives me the shivers till today

Then there's the two rack unit Wavestations:
Wavestation A/D rack (2u) - extra Rom waves like EX, plus an extra Ram bank (3 Ram banks in total) & analogue inputs for processing external audio. Wavestation SR rack (1u) - same as the A/D, but lost the analog inputs, big screen & vector joystick, then added a further 7 permanent Rom banks of presets.
Seems like the EX, A/D and SR are 16 part multi timbral but I'm not 100%.

@g00lipop digital and a good one at that. its pretty unique, can be a kunt to program though, but there always the most rewarding synths

This will get you the rhythm pattern used in this track.
The author sped up lil bit the BPM of it.
Go EDIT...>EFFECTS and move the numbers around to match the BPM used here.

This sound is typical for the Roland D-50, the factory loop and the screaming lead.
