Korg Wavestation Patch Archive 04 - Theme 'Film/Soundtrack' =========================================================== (13/02/97) It's been a while since the last Patch Archive bank, mainly due to the Wavestation list closing down, and also due to the relative slow rate of uploads as compared to previous banks. As so few people submitted sounds, I've included more of my own. I don't like doing this, but it's better than uploading a bank with 4 patches... This is the fourth Patch Archive bank, compiled from user-submitted patches from the WS mailing list guys. There are 13 performances in this bank, and they're set to load into RAM Bank 1 on Midi channel 1. There are Raw Sysex, Midifile and SoundDiver versions of this bank. You can find them in: ftp.mcc.ac.uk pub/music/emagic/SOUNDSURFER/LIBRARIES/Korg/Wavestation or look at the Trading Post web site: http://www.his.com/~ricks/trading.html Submission details for further patch archives can be found on: http://www.city.ac.uk/~cb170/ws_subs.html Please mail me (benj@city.ac.uk) with your vote on your single favourite patch in this bank during the first few weeks it's made available for downloading - the author of the most voted patch will get immortalised on the Wavestation web pages! Contributors to this bank are: Simon Lea, Terry Engelbrecht, Brett Kaplan, David Cockram and Ben Hall Once again, thanks go to all contributors who made this bank possible. If you haven't submitted anything yet but intend to, check out the current theme and make your contributions. All welcome, whatever your style/talent/taste thresholds are. Enjoy the bank! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Wavestation mailing list is back up again (yay!) at a new address: wavestation@cloudfactory.org To subscribe, send a mail to majordomo@cloudfactory.org with the body text "subscribe wavestation", or "subscribe wavestation-digest" (without the quotes). Come join the fun! ( ...and contribute to the WS Patch Archive... ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * PC Users * ------------ For PC users, Cakewalk will load these files, or you can try one of the two shareware WS editors (found in ftp.mcc.ac.uk in the directory pub/music/emagic/SOUNDDIVER/LIBRARIES/Korg/Wavestation/WS_Editors/ amongst other places: these are WS Edit 1.c by Stefano Voulaz and Wavestat 4.0 by Mark Lankosza ). In addition there are various sysex programs around, try WinSysex, SysEx95 or Dumpster for Windows that should do the job. Check the popular Harmony Central web site: see http://www.harmony-central.com/Software/Windows * Mac Users * ------------- Mac users can use Bulk Sysex 1.02 (it's around the net), or Galaxy and Unisyn have SYX import drivers available if you use one of those programs. * Atari Users * --------------- Atari users should use Dump-It! (contact me, or it's on micros.hensa.ac.uk as well as other places) It's the only decent sysex dumper that can handle bigg-ish dumps (ahem) * Amiga Users * --------------- I haven't a clue as to what sysex dumping software exists for the Amiga. There is a utility with Bars'n'Pipes called Patchmeister that does SYX file dumps (apparently). If you know of other similar programs, drop me a line and let me know... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course most sequencers on any computer platform will read and transmit the midifile versions of the bank, so these may be more convenient. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Bladerunner * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Ominous drones Location : RAM1-00 Patches Used : Bladerunnr, Rezzyseq WaveSeqs Used : Br1, Br2 Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : This is a nice big soundtrack drone. Hold a key on the bottom octaves and let the reverb drone on. The mod wheel fades down this sound. Aftertouch brings in a little repeating arpeggio thing which pans about the stereo image, and the joystick y-axis controls a resonance effect. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Chrysalis * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Breathy pad with tinkly overtones Location : RAM1-01 Patches Used : + Chrysalis, - Chrysalis WaveSeqs Used : Tingly Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : Breathy, long-ish release dark pad, with a high end tinkley-ish sheen. A bit Babylon 5, I suppose... ============================================================================ Performance Name: Daleks!! * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Completely useless! :) Location : RAM1-02 Patches Used : Daleks WaveSeqs Used : daleks Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : Uses Wavestation waves to recreate speech, with some bizarre effects to grunge up the sound. Mod wheel chnges filter resonance, and the pitch wheel controls the pitch of the Dalek. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Futurascape * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Breathy atmosphere pad Location : RAM1-03 Patches Used : Futu-01, Futu-02, Futu-03, Futu-04 WaveSeqs Used : Futu1, Futu2 Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : Breathy fifths pad with a pitch bent attack, and the odd few sound effects drifting in and out. Aftertouch fades the breathy stuff out and a random LFO sound takes over. Mod wheel fades up an arpeggio part. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Lurkers * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Pad, split Location : RAM1-04 Patches Used : WaveSeqs Used : Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : Soft metallic moving pad plays on the bottom 3/4 of the keyboard. Mod wheel fades up a thicker, brighter moving pad part. The top of the keyboard plays a breathy, echoed vocal hit. More Babylon 5... :) ============================================================================ Performance Name: X-Files * Author : Ben Hall, benj@city.ac.uk Sound Type : Atmoshpere Location : RAM1-05 Patches Used : Tooms, E.B.E, Deepthroat, Fire WaveSeqs Used : - Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Comments : Yup, good eerie soundtrack stuff! The bottom two white notes on the keyboard trigger very X-Files-ey sound FX, and the rest of the keyboard is given over to modified presets, mainly pads and eerie noises. Aftertouch fades in the famous WS wispy wavesequence. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Borg Collective Author : Simon Lea, slea@hookup.net Sound Type : Sci-Fi evolving drone Location : RAM1-06 Patches Used : 1 - Simon's Drone, 2 - WS Noise, 3 - Tubular, 4 - Inharmonic WaveSeqs Used : ROM 11 - *WSNoise Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Dec. 1996 Comments : Inspired by the movie Star Trek: First Contact. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Dream Sequence Author : Simon Lea, slea@hookup.net Sound Type : Pad Location : RAM1-07 Patches Used : Icicle, SynOrch, Glass Bott, Tri Wave Cathedral, Simon's Sine WaveSeqs Used : - Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Dec. 1996 Comments : Light and airy pad. ============================================================================ Performance Name: WH.Phas.Metal Author : Simon Lea, slea@hookup.net Sound Type : Phased pad Location : RAM1-08 Patches Used : Metalipad WaveSeqs Used : - Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : Dec. 1996 Comments : A light metalic sounding pad with movement. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Concrete Laser Author : Brett Kaplan, RadioWind@aol.com Sound Type : A spacey, pseudo-resonant, flanged stereophonic extravaganza. Location : RAM1-09 Patches Used : Flakelite, Quasar WaveSeqs Used : - Requirements : Any Wavestation Date : January 18, 1997 Comments : Hold down a key in the lower register and listen to sound evolve. AT and MW change the intensity of the effects. Apply one or the other briefly at strategic points to enhance the motion. Joystick affects sound mix. ============================================================================ Performance Name: Sco/are Author : Terry Engelbrecht, evaluna@global.co.za Sound Type : Tense, soundtracky type thing Location : RAM1-10 Patches Used : Tension, Iso new^, Iso new 2^, R-wah5 WaveSeqs Used : S1, S2, S3, Drippy1 Requirements : WS EX Date : Jan 97 Comments : Best played (and held) in lower regions of keyboard - sounds less ominous up high.
