Come vi ho anticipato è in cantiere un video sulla Wavestation.

Ne ho presa una e stò per cominare a studiarmela.

Ora provvederò da me, magari però se quacuno mi sà dire meglio quali siano le differenze tra le varie versioni e tra le varie sigle mi farebbe un grosso favore ;)

Wavestation A/D?
Wavestation Ex?

Ovviametne centrano le espansioni immagino...

Ora comincio a documentarmi da me :wave:

Ho trovato questo su VINTAGESYNTH.COM


"When Sequential Circuits finally went belly-up, their research and development into vector synthesis was picked up at Korg. This led to the hugely successful Wavestation Synthesizer which was based on Sequential's ProphetVS. 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. The Wavestation had 2MB of ROM based samples at your disposal. Programming is not exactly easy but this great digital synth is capable of lush ambient sounds and strange effects. It has the obligatory lowpass filter, though it is non-resonant and digital sounding. Also on-board are some multi-effects which are pretty nice. This synth is easily upgraded and expandable with PCM cards too.

In 1991 the Wavestation EX, also called EXK-WS, was released (pictured above). The EX added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acoustic instruments and drums. 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. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London, Genesis, Jan Hammer, Depeche Mode, Toto, Vangelis, Legendary Pink Dots, Biosphere and Sin"


Quindi per Ex si intende una semplice espansion ROM di 4 mb e altri effetti, per l'epoca non è certamente cosa da poco...

Chi mi dici qualcosa in merito al discorso della sintesi VETTORIALE di WAVESTATIOB in relazione a PROPHETVs?


Metre A/D è la versione RACK di Wavestation così come Wavestation Sr
