An absolutely cracking rundown Gargamel! I couldn't have ever hoped for a more complete and thorough answer! That's certainly cleared up a lot of my queries, so thanks a lot :D Will now be on the hunt for these reference guides :) So basically, the 01/W is the one to go for if you're after sound ...

Hi there Am thinking of buying an AI2 synth and am finding it hard to differentiate between the different models. Hope someone on here can help. If I understand it correctly so far, the 03R/W is a stripped down version of this line and is probably not worth picking up now. The X5DR on the other hand ...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked many times before and the answer is obvious! I'm thinking of buying a Triton Classic, but before I do, I'm wondering where you can get the factory patches from. The way I understand it, there is no function on-board the Triton Classic to re-initialise the ...

Hi guys, Does anyone know where you can get the Dreamwaves and Trancewaves patches for the Wavestation, as programmed by Paul Osborn? They were originally made available to purchase as cards in 1998, and from this review, sound like an excellent set of patches: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/jan98 ...

Thanks for the reply mate. Thought I could have got a good thread going there but guess not! Perhaps this has already been discussed elsewhere. But yeah the Wavestation is definately an awesome synth for pads. Was just wondering whether other Korg synths lived up to it in the pad department, or ...

Ok guys, a good old newbie question for you. Am after the synth with the best pads. I have a Wavestation EX and the pads are amazing. Was just wondering what you guys think. Would you say the pads on the Triton beat the ones on the Wavestation? Would it be worth me trading in the Wavestation and ...

Hi, Well that always depend on what kind of music you do. I'm in the prog rock/pop rock(sometimes) scene. For that kind of music, definately the 01/W. There's an analog flavor to the sound that isn't there in the others. If you're in the techno/dance scene, the triton is hard to beat. The Trinity ...

Is it the waveform itself or is it the patch that it is used in? (I'm confused as in, I dont know if you use Korg's definitions or generic definitions — lets say waveform, patch, performance, multi) If it's the patch it is used in, what are the settings in the patch? Also, have you connected the o ...

Congratulations on your purchase!

What would you say is the best keyboard for synth pads and strings out of the Trinity, the Triton and the 01/W? I'm sure they all have their strengths but what would your advice be on which one to buy if you could only get one?

First, is the difference in sound you perceive real (in other words, can it be measured) or is it your own mind playing tricks? You can test this difference pretty easy. Setup a midi file with a couple of notes on certain velocities. Make sure both WS are set at exactly the same settings (tuning ...

I think they should sound the same. However, I have a standard wavestation and I have to play most patches to the volume slider set much lower than my wavestation, so it seems there should be some preamp features on the old WS not present (or not set by default) on the EX. For the sound quality ...

Also one more question. With the "Voices" waveform (number 91 in the PCM memory), the sound doesn't seem to be very good quality. There is a lot of "ringing" in the sound, like it's being ring modulated or something, or being put through a LFO (even though I've turned the LFO's off). This seems to ...

Hi, Wanted to get your thoughts on the overall sound quality of the Wavestation. I have two Wavestations - an original and EX keyboard - and want to sell the original one, but am a little worried as on some of the patches/performances I can notice some difference in the sound and overall output of ...

Ok cheers for the replies guys. So sounds like they're both excellent synths in their own right and shouldn't really be compared! And that you wouldn't be going far wrong by owning both! I think I'll try and track down an 01/W ASAP!

Cheers,
Mike

Hi guys, This probably should be in the versus forums at VintageSynth.com, but never mind! I have a Wavestation and it's great for pads and atmospheres as I'm sure you know. Was just wondering, how would you guys say the 01/W compares to the Wavestation for pads and strings? Do you reckon it's worth ...
