I have posted two Wurlitzer demos some time ago. But now with the MOD-7 Wurlitzer sound I thought it is of interest to add a demo file to compare these three sounds. The first two are sample based sounds using the HD-1 engine whereas the last is the MOD-7 version.
Exactly the same sequence was used with the same velocity curve, digital audio data transfer via OASYS lightpipe into MOTUs Digital Performer.
OASYS factory sound D080
KARO Wurlitzer sound 001 for OASYS
OASYS Combination using two MOD-7 sounds. First loop is dry, second is with the same EFX settings as found in KARO’s Wurlitzer sound 001
Now all three in a row with the same EFXs. First factory sound D080, followed by KARO’s sound 001 and last but not least MOD-7 combination:
For those who are interested in the difference of the factory sound and one of the KARO Wurlitzer samples. Here is a short phrase played with both - internal HD1 sound #D080 and KARO Program #001.

OASYS factory sound D080
not bad…. but
KARO Wurlitzer sound 001 for OASYS
Unfortunately I had some problems with the word clock, thus you can hear in both sounds some clicks. but this did not influence the different sound characters at all.
Here is another sound demo, somehow old fashioned, I know. It is one Combination of MOD-7 Programs to get the E-Piano sound which is another try to copy Yamaha’s GS-1 together with an HD-1 Saxophon Program.
GS-1 & Saxophon
.. sorry for the clipping. Have to get used to the basics of recording again….
addendum:
… and that’s how it could sound with drums - version for Porto & Tribuswinkel:
GS-1 & Saxophon + drums
addendum II - 4 Thilo

OASYS
- “Dark Aquarell” combination from KPS (indigo strings, ob-xa pad, modified #A-013)
- “Stage E.Piano”
- one of the many STR-1 “guitars”
- sample from Distorted Reality / Spectrasonics
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.
