Korg Wavestation SR

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. 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. 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. 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. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London and Gary Numan.

For those owners of the WS-SR, use a BBE Sonic Maximizer as an insert on this synth (or plug the SR's output into the BBE's input) and listen to how the BBE updates the sound to be clear as a bell! (comment made in 2009)

Brought it back to life yesternight - and I can say, now there's The Creature! It has its own distinct mood and temper - melancholic, I'd say, and overall impressiveness of its presets is beyond all criticism, on my mind.

The problem is a manual, or, rather, the lack of it.

One of my Favourites. Hard to edit I know, but there are macros. If you love a sound, take time to build it.

Wow, still using this after all these years. The Korg Legacy version is great but I love hardware (and no CPU load on the PC/Mac). Don't try to program it with out something like Unisyn and there are more presets on the web. Only 4MB ROM but just the best warm sounds ever!
