Korg OASYS + Wavedrum
OASYS together with MOTU’s dp5.1, PSP’s Vintage Warmer and some UAD Plug Ins
There were always instruments that impressed me. Yamaha’s VL-series is one example, Korg’s Wavedrum another one. The latter I could not afford and unfortunately disappeared to fast from the market without finding a new home in my studio. Now it is no longer available… so in case you know someone who is willing to sell his Wavedrum.. please let me know.
Korg’s Wavedrum had unique sounds of which you can hear some on Eric Persing’s sound collections. The Wavedrum’s pad was of course half of the secret and I am afraid there is no real way to compensate that within OASYS. But the number of different controllers like the VJS together with velocity and aftertouch could make a different approach feasible. Anyway this is not the place for it and there is most likely much more necessary…
Together with Ebse I recorded the following track which consists of Korg sounds only. Not very surprising the drumloop is a Wavedrum sound and even less surprising everything else comes from Korg’s OASYS.

The wavedrum is a really great instrument, because there is many in the Oasys i still talked to one of the Factory programmer and i asked about a Synth engine like the Wavedrum, but he sayed it’s not possible to make this on the Oasys, it was not the synthesis who made the great sound, he sayed, it was how to play the Wavedrum and that’s not possible with the Oasys. I am sure he is right..

by the way, as I sayed, i talked with a Korg Sounddesigner and he told me that the STR-1 is able to make Wavedrum like Sounds and Sampels i looked at the Korg.com website and heard that demo which sounds very similar to the Korg Wavedrum, talke a look at http://www.korg.com/downloads/mp3/STR1/STR-1_demo.mp3 .. I think that soiunds very good…
