2009 Korg WaveDrum WD-X Performance and Sound Examples

The 2009 Korg WaveDrum WD-X is a Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer. It uses a hybrid sound generation system combining DSP based synthesis algorithms and PCM playback engine. Individual playing styles will produce different sounds depending upon how the head and rim are played, how pressure is applied pressure to the head, etc. This video show examples of playing techniques and how the WaveDrum responds.

I like this new toy...

[bennyb4]

The only thing i wish is that it was a controller and a sampler........ hmmm maybe there is a way to convert it to midi but a usb out would be nice. any one know of anything like this but for controlling vsts or uas

I've been a percussionist and bad keyboard player for years now. I bought a wavedrum and it's incredible. Don't look at it as a replacement for anything. For me, it's a new instrument and the ideas it inspires are endless.

I'm sorry I just don't see the point of this......even at $600 it seems like a toy even a seasoned drummer would use for 2 weeks then just get tired of.

yes!! just ordered mine... cannot wait!

What stands can it use? Can I use a 14 inch snare stand? Is the Korg stand very stable. Some of the videos it seems the stand wiggles a good bit. I want the most solid one I can use without it interfering with the instrument. Thanks for the help!

... on the other hand, MIDI OUT singals could be used to trigger another drum or sample sound to achive the variaties beyond the capability of the machine.

at least midi out should be included as an option.

i think the fact that midi is not included is a good thing because it makes it more like an instrument, and stops you from quantizing everything and making it less organic. If you do need to improve timing a bit, these days most DAWS have good audio flexing or warping anyway.
