Korg Wavestation

Post by ponderc »

The Korg Wavestation is a vector synthesis synthesizer first produced in the early 1990s and later re-released as a software synthesizer in 2004. Its primary innovation was Wave Sequencing, a method of multi-timbral sound generation in which different PCM waveform data are played successively, resulting in continuously evolving sounds.[1] The Wavestation's "Advanced Vector Synthesis" sound architecture resembled early vector synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS.

Designed as a "pure" synthesizer rather than a music workstation, it lacked an on-board song sequencer, yet the Wavestation, unlike any synthesizer prior to its release, was capable of generating complex, lush timbres and rhythmic sequences that sounded like a complete soundtrack by pressing only one key.[2][3] Keyboard Magazine readers gave the Wavestation its "Hardware Innovation of the Year" award,[4][5] and in 1995 Keyboard listed it as one of the "20 Instruments that Shook the World."[6]

The Wavestation lineup consisted of four models: the Wavestation and Wavestation EX keyboards, and the Wavestation A/D and Wavesation SR rackmount sound modules.

Info copy and pasted word-for-word from Wikipedia.

I smell spammer testing the forum. I predict ban hammer will soon be used.

If somebody was actually stupid enough to post random wikipedia entries on the Wavestation in the Radias/R3 forum, I'd be concerned for their health.

I am happy to be between you guys and I hope I can be a helpful person with my contributing in this forum

Looking forward to see some replies :D
This quote gave "Carla" away as a non-native English speaker. There's a grammar or usage mistake in every single phrase. The only American girl who would say "I am happy to be between you guys" would be in a three-way porno. That's almost as obvious as "me love you long time."
