Boy, I was pleasantly blown away by the power and sounds of the Wavestation. I’ve never played a Wavestation before but I’ve heard nothing but great things about it. I just got the Korg Wavestation SR in the mail today from a friend who sells music gear in Nagoya, Japan. Thanks for the info about Alan Wilder’s auction Greg! I’ll have to check it out. Here is a great taste of what the Korg Wavestation SR can do found on Youtube. I’ll write more about the Korg Wavestation SR once it arrives early next week. The Korg Wavestation SR Rack version was released in 1992 which was the year before I migrated to Japan in 1993. I do use software editors, librarians, and sequencers for my synths, but for sound I just like working with hardware I suppose. I also know there is a Korg Wavestation Software version, but if you read my blog you’ll know I prefer hardware as I am rather old school. This should be good enough to get me that Wavestation 90’s sound.
I know it’s suppose to be tedious to program and all, but I feel the presets are pretty darn good and the SR Rack version has pretty much most if not all of the sounds of the previous Wavestation releases. In Japan the Korg Wavestation is particularly hard to find so I was excited needless to say when I found one on Ebay sitting right here in Japan.
The Korg Wavestation covers that period well with a sound that often reminds me of Jan Hammer and Depeche Mode who both have used the Wavestation. I’m particularly fond of 80’s and early 90’s music. That should be pretty cool to run those two together. I heard the Korg Wavestation SR was even better and could be midi’d up and controlled by the SY-22. I have a Yamaha SY-22 and really like it very much.
Just found and picked up a Korg Wavestation SR off Ebay from a friend here in Japan.
