#KORG WAVESTATION EX SYNTHESIZER MOD#
The EX also adds 8 multi-effects including: Mod Pitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdrive and Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and added MIDI implementation and control. The EX added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acoustic instruments and drums. This synth is easily upgraded and expandable with PCM cards too.In 1991 the Wavestation EX, also called EXK-WS, was released. Also on-board are some multi-effects which are pretty nice. It has the obligatory lowpass filter, though it is non-resonant and digital sounding. Programming is not exactly easy but this great digital synth is capable of lush ambient sounds and strange effects. The Wavestation had 2MB of ROM based samples at your disposal. The Wavestation incorporated the 2-dimensional vector joystick of the ProphetVS which allowed the user to alter and animate sounds.Korg added to this a second break-through form of synthesis: wave sequencing, by which short segments of sampled audio waveforms could be played one after the other and cross-faded into each other for some complex and unusual tones, pads, textures and rhythms. This led to the hugely successful Wavestation Synthesizer which was based on Sequential's ProphetVS. From Vintage Synth Explorer: When Sequential Circuits finally went belly-up, their research and development into vector synthesis was picked up at Korg. If you would like additional photos, I can provide upon request. Simply put, the winner of this auction will be the proud owner of one of the nicest Wavestation EX's in the world. If you know how hard it is to find a really clean Wavestation EX, you will appreciate how this is a unique opportunity. To encourage bidding on this rare specimen, I am opening the auction at just $1, and t is no reserve so the highest bid wins, period. I am told that it has actually had very little use so it really plays like a new instrument. The battery was recently replaced, and the synth was kept in a smoke-free environment from day one. T isn't a sticky key or problem button to be found!The power cord is included, as well as a CD containing the manuals.I recently purchased this Wavestation EX from the original owner, who really took superb care of it. It is truly near mint! Probably the nicest Wavestation EX you will find on eBay.(Little-known fact: The Wavestation was designed by the one and only Dave Smith, originally of Sequential Circuits.)This synth functions 100% perfectly in every way. It is in excellent condition and is extremely clean. This is the synth that Korg endowed with a 4-way vector control joystick that allows you to precisely shape your sounds on the fly. The Wavestation lineup consisted of four models: the Wavestation and Wavestation EX keyboards, and the Wavestation A/D and Wavestation SR rackmount sound modules.Up for auction is one truly pristine Korg Wavestation EX synthesizer, one of Korg's most legendary productions. Keyboard Magazine readers gave the Wavestation its "Hardware Innovation of the Year" award, and in 1995 Keyboard listed it as one of the "20 Instruments that Shook the World." The Wavestation's "Advanced Vector Synthesis" sound architecture resembled early vector synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS.ĭesigned as a "pure" synthesizer rather than a music workstation, it lacked an on-board song sequencer, yet the Wavestation, unlike any synthesizer prior to its release, was capable of generating complex, lush timbres and rhythmic sequences that sounded like a complete soundtrack by pressing only one key. Its primary innovation was Wave Sequencing, a method of multi-timbral sound generation in which different PCM waveform data are played successively, resulting in continuously evolving sounds.
#KORG WAVESTATION EX SYNTHESIZER SOFTWARE#
The Korg Wavestation is a vector synthesis synthesizer first produced in the early 1990s and later re-released as a software synthesizer in 2004.
