    korg wavestate

    in The Keyboard Corner

    Posted

    need some help and some opinions here regarding the korg wavestate. I like the sounds you can get from the wavestate(demos on youtube). with my keyboards, modules and software, I have all the analog and digital bases covered. was wondering how difficult is the wavestate to edit the factory sounds. I am not very good at making sounds from scratch, really not at all, as I usually buy the sound libraries for the synth or just edit the factory sounds. finally does anyone know the difference between the wavestate and the modwave. are they basically the same. thanks in advance for any help..........Larry

    hydrasynth and blofeld

    just had to give my two cents here. I purchased the waldorf blofeld and the asm hydrasynth desktop. very impressed with both of these. not that I didn't have enough of options as I have Yamaha MODX and two other Yamaha keyboards, arturia v-collection 7, NI Komplete 12, Korg minilogue XD, behringer Poly D, BehringerDeepmind, and quite a few VST plug-ins, the blofeld and the hydrasynth have great deep analog bass sounds, analog pads, digital pads, fm voices, etc. they both really surprised me. just posting this as help to someone who wants something completely unique sound wise.

    Looking at a Hammond A100 today

    Funny timing here.

     

    We have a new bass player in the group, and I come to find out he's been restoring Hammonds and Leslies for many years. I went over to his house today, and he had no less than six Hammond consoles in his garage shop in various states of repair, as well as several Franken-Leslies that sounded great. One shelf filled with tone generators, another with various preamps, another with key actions and so on.

     

    He also said he was involved with the Speakeasy tube preamps years ago, and had a few in various states of repair. He loves him a vintage Hammond through hot tubes.

     

    I am not interested in maintaining one of these antique beasts on my own. But if I know a guy ... well, that's a different proposition.

     

    And, yes, there was this cool A100 he was just about finished with. Reverb unit was busted, but everything else worked great. It played and sounded marvelous.

     

    Resisting something like this is gonna be tough ...

     

     

    hello there, my name is Larry, I live in Tequesta(Jupiter, Florida). I would be very interested in getting contact information for your bass player. I have a few things I would like to be repaired on my Hammond, thanx........954-274-6631

    choosing a pair of speakers for clonewheel

    I have quite a few speakers ranging from Bose to Mackie. I was looking for a small speaker for when I go out of town a have time to study one of my synths. I bought the behringer 208D. it completely blew me away(and some of my musician friends). the volume, sound and quality for an 8" speaker totally surprised all of us. on top of it, you can't beat the price.

    Behringer and Sweetwater partnership

    been dealing with sweetwater for years. to me, the best. a few times in the past I wasted my time and priced an item from other stores. not once did anyone beat or match the price I received from sweetwater. I do buy quite a bit from them and now if I don't like the price they gave me I just tell them come on you got to do better. I also like their technical support and the extra year warranty. I'm not a fan of the return policy if you don't like the item, they will take it back. there is enough information and demos of the items on the web for anyone to view and review. I do a lot of homework before I buy an item.

    Not OT: I just got a Valente. Ask me anything.

    hey Josh, just wondering how the scene in the quarter is doing. drove through the quarter about 6 months ago and it made me sick. just about everything was boarded up. I live in south florida now but I really love and miss NOLA. I lived in Violet, south of Chalmette, and played all over NOLA including the quarter and west bank years ago. will be there in april and hope everything will be back to normal............Larry

    Behringer and cloning

    to Al Coda, great post I totally agree with you and enough already with this topic. I have several behringer products and love them. early seventies had an original minimoog but now would never even think of purchasing an original minimoog, so I purchased the poly D. doesn't sound like the original, wrong. not every original minimoog sounded the same, just like hammond organs. every hammond organ sounded sometimes a little better or a lot different from one another, I should know, presently have one but owned seven of them, and I have to say that the three B-3's that I owned were the weakest of all the models that I owned. I'm always tired of hearing, is it a B-3 hammond you have? in conclusion, buy the product you want or don't, but please don't try to convince me with your opinion. I'm sick of all the crap from this past election of people trying to push their opinions on me, enough already............Larry

    need an opinion and some info here. presently I own deepmind, poly d, minilogue xd, modx, and a lot of software instruments namely arturia 7, komplete 12, etc., so I do have a lot of bases covered. was wondering if adding waldorf blofeld will be a good addition for me. will it be quite different from the gear I have. any other opinions and info anyone would have with regards to the blofeld. I am just doing some home recording and playing. I like laying down tracks and recordings that I play along with my hammond organ. thanx for your advice in advance...........Larry
