(The piano and drum samples are similar to those on the Wavestation PCM/Performance ROM cards WSC-1 and 2). The new Wavestation EX ( reviewed last month) and Wavestation A/D (reviewed here) are essentially an attempt to appeal to the latter group, thanks to the addition of an extra 2MB of PCM waveforms - 516 waveforms instead of 364 - including sax, piano, guitar, and drum samples. However, lacking a selection of standard sampled instruments such as piano and drums, the Wavestation has less appeal for the average keyboard player. With its rich, evolving textures, the Wavestation's Advanced Vector synthesis was - and is - an ideal instrument for TV/film composers, and musicians working in less mainstream rock.
After several years of all-singing, all-dancing keyboard 'workstations', here was a dedicated synthesizer, trading the delights of the on-board sequencer, drum section and stock sampled sounds, for one of the most powerful methods of synthesis ever. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London and Gary Numan.When it was released 18 months ago, the Korg Wavestation stood out from the crowd.
Included among its vast array of amazing synthesizer sounds is 1 drum kit with 30 sounds making the SR an ideal centerpiece for any MIDI studio. While managing to increase the MIDI mixing and 16 part MIDI multitimbrality and shrinking the massive synth no sound nor edit parameter was sacrificed! Every parameter can still be tweaked, although much more tedious, however that is the trade-off for a compact, portable and richly multitimbral synthesizer module. It is a 1-unit rackmount tone module that has all the raw power and sounds of the famous WavestationEX and A/D synths! The SR maintains the same advanced Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing synthesis method from a 4MB ROM card.
The Wavestation SR is a repackaged Wavestation designed to provide you with all the Wavestation sounds you could ever ask for in a more compact and less expensive MIDI Module. In good cosmetic condition and works perfectly as intended when tested in the shop!
