Korg Collection (V2.0 released, GUI update!)

[revvy]

how hard can it be to make one yourself?

Bit early in the UK to be trolling the Korg thread again isn't it?

45 mins between your last 2 posts, that's plenty of time to make an init preset, but its clear you prefer to bitch about it and wait for someone else to do the simple job for you.

You have a great day out there, take care. Enjoy breakfast!

Sorry to be the idiot here, but where exactly do I find the new updates? I downloaded the version 2 when they came out but now I can't find anywhere to download an update.

Thanks to Korg and Roland, my hats off to you for bringing us these classic emulations, but Yamaha?? Yamaha team where are you guys at?? Yamaha could be making a killing off of their earlier boards.

Yamaha doesn't have any synths worth modelling anyway.

I'm not pining for it as much as my dream Waldorf Q and Novation Supernova vsts, but the Yamaha AN1x would absolutely be worth having as a plugin!

Aha ... found the Monopoly update. NO crash on program browser, but crashes if trying to load a bank.

Are you on Mac or Windows?

Mac.

The general expectation is that "init" preset should be available for any synth by default, and especially when all synths but one from the bundle have it, it's a bit annoying. But it could be argued what would an "init" preset be for an unconventional synth like Wavestation.

That aside, my main gripe is about Wavestation not having the drop down menu to select/browse presets as list. This feature is available in all other synths, so why not Wavestation? If there is someway to have that in Wavestation, please enlighten me.

how hard can it be to include1 init preset in every synth...

You mean like this one ?

Korg 042120.png

yes indeed like that one. every synth should have one!

i most synths pretty simple, but try the wavestation

Full empty RAM Bank for the Wavestation, will Init everything in that Bank (WaveSequences, Patches and Performances).

Nice one kind sir.

Not had a chance to delve into the synth beyond the presets so far, looking forward to having a look at the manual to clarify a couple of things that are not clear to me just from clicking around, and having a go at sound creation from scratch.

Aaah I remember way back when in the last millenium, sitting in front of my shiney new Wavestation, clearing a patch and starting from scratch to make my own 32 oscillator monster. I think I was still sat there at sundown scratching my head with the first wavesequence.

TBH you're almost always better off with the WS to use an old patch to make your own up. It's about 785 clicks just to make a parp sound, and that's only one oscillator. (Actually the WS doesn't do parps - more like zombie ant robot army on acid marching across ice crystals?).

Find a patch in the ball park of some kind of sound you want to make, then copy the oscillators and tweak them into what you want. It'll save you a big headache. You don't quite need a doctorate in astrophysics to programme a WS, but maybe a Masters?
I actually know how to make all my own patches in a WS nowadays from a blank patch, but I almost never do. Life is just too short and before you know it, it will be winter and you're still only up to step 78 in oscD for part 3.

Now I've got permission from an old hand to start with current presets I feel less guilty

Clicking around has revealed some of how to program the thing but it's not the most intuitive interface ever. Sounds gorgeous tho.
