	Korg Wavestation Patch Archive 01 - Theme 'Techno'
        ==================================================

(03/12/95)
        
This is the first result of the Patch Archive on the Korg Wavestation 
mailing list. Hopefully it will run for a while, and we'll see more 
people contributing. For now, enjoy this first bank of user patches. 
As the level of contributions was fairly small, I've submitted a few 
extra sounds for this archive.

They are set to load into RAM Bank 1, on Midi channel 1. There are Raw 
Sysex, Midifile and Sound Diver versions of this bank. You can find 
them in:
 
ftp.dir.mcc.ac.uk pub/emagic/SOUNDSURFER/LIBRARIES/Korg/Wavestation

Please mail me (benj@city.ac.uk) with your vote on your favourite 
patch in this bank during the beginning of December - the author of 
the most voted patch will get immortalised on the Wavestation web 
pages.

Performance Name: Overdose Bass

 Author        : Owain F Pedgley
 Sound Type    : Bass, velocity-switched, slightly analogue, percussive
 Location      : RAM1 - 00
 Patches Used  : AnaVelBass, Syn Bass1 (ROM)
 Waveseqs Used : TwinCRO, TwinPUL
 Requirements  : Original non-EX Wavestation
 Date          : 22 November 1995

 Comments      : I would not normally program something which would 
		 fall in the category of 'tecno', but I have had a stab 
		 at trying to make a 'different' bass sound which has 
		 timbral changes modulated by key velocity: Wavesequnce 
		 starting point, filter cut-off and gated reverb effect 
		 slot 2 kicking in.

                 Tips on playing: The joystick controls mix (as 
                 normal), with a more percussive element being 
                 introduced when positioned fully to the left.  The 
                 patch is great if you play short stabby single notes 
                 around C2/C3 with the joystick in this position, but 
                 remember to change velocity!  For 'normal' playing, 
                 hit the keys fairly lightly (joystick mid-way) and 
                 occassionally press them harder to introduce the 
                 reverb.

                 It's worth replacing the delay/room slot 1 effect with 
                 one of your own choice. Flanger and Distortion work 
                 particularly well.

Performance Name:  Teknow? Q6 

 Author        : Pat Thompson
 Sound Type    : Techno Riff
 Location      : 
 Patches  Used : BLAH-BLAH, TekMore, BLIH-BLIH, BLEH-BLEH
 WaveSeqs Used : TecBass, Tekkik, Tekperk, TekHat, TekStab, 
                 TekFlut, MorStab, TekBlok, TekBlo2.
 Requirements  : EX
 Date          : 11-25-95

 Comments      : This definitely falls into the "one note symphony"
                 category, (preferably the lowest note on the EX 
                 keyboard), though it can be "played" a  bit.  It's a big, 
                 throbbing (IMHO :-)) drumbeat and bassline with other 
                 percussion cycling in and out.  After you listen to the 
                 groove for a minute fade in the warped out stabs with 
                 aftertouch. 
 
                 Some of it's 2/4, some is 3/4, but the overall phrase is 
                 6/4.

Performance Name: Push It

 Author        : Brent Wood
 Sound Type    : Vocal
 Location      : RAM1 - 02
 Patches  Used : Pushit
 WaveSeqs Used : Pushit, Pushit2
 Requirements  : EX
 Date          : 11/30/95

 Comments      : This is a voice saying "push it".  Velocity changes 
                 the rate and inflection.  Mod wheel adds pitch 
                 shifting for a more "electronic" sound which can be 
                 modulated by aftertouch.

 (Compiler's note: If you play this on a normal WS, the sample for the 
 'P' in 'Push' is missing, so the patch sounds more like "Oh Shit!" <grin> 
 Nice work Brent!)

Performance Name : Blueprint

 Author		: Mikael Lundgren - Carbon Productions
 Sound Type	: Bass, Blip, Blop, Resonant synth
 Location	: RAM1 - 03
 Patches Used	: Blueprint
 WaveSeqs Used	: VelWet
 Requirements	: EX
 Date		: 30 Nov 1995

 Comments	: This patch makes for a quite decent emulation of
		  the classic analog velocity controlled resonant synth.
		  It uses the technique with static wavesequence
		  programming using velocity and keyboard position as
		  modulation sources. A slight overdrive is added, and
		  the 'hot spot' can be modulated with the wheel to
		  make the sound breathe further.

Performance Name: oFFend-R
 
 Author        : Sander Wesseling
 
 Sound Type    : Solo lead Techno detune
 Location      : RAM1 - 04
 Patches  Used : offend (new)
 WaveSeqs Used : *BentMin (SR ROM7:12)
 Requirements  : Plain WS
 Date          : 22 Nov 1995
 
 Comments      : WOW! This is my first real attempt editing a WS, hope 
		you like it :) This is performance sounds good in 
		every octave: 1. lower octaves it gives a dark & heavy 
		type of techno sound. Only use in chords if you know 
		what you are doing! (and you know don't you, else you 
		wouldn't own a wavestation ... :) ) 2. middle: the 
		real 'lead' sound. 3. higher octaves, a happy sound, 
		probably suitable for fast 'happy hardcore' tracks. 
		(somehow it reminds me of Mickey Mouse :)

		I mostly play it with short stabs, preventing it from 
		running trough it's wavesequence. Adjust the durations 
		for faster/slower melodies.
		Velocity brings on some variation in the played melody 
		(it makes the oscillator start further on in the 
		waveseq, if i'm correct) The performance uses 1 effect 
		(pingpongdelay), but it will live on a just general 
		reverb too. [rev 1.0]

		Legal stuff: well none really, do with it what you want.

Performance Name: MY303 Bass

 Author        : Rainer Heesen
 Sound Type    : TB303 Simulation
 Location      : RAM1 - 05
 Patches  Used : MY303, Puls
 WaveSeqs Used : -
 Requirements  : Plain WS
 Date          : 27 Nov 1995

 Comments      : This is an TB303 simulation; wheel changes filter cutoff.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: Rapid Staccato

 Author        : Norsez Orankij-anant, u3510329@au.ac.th
 Sound Type    : Techno, Trance and Ambient (?) Staccato (or maybe Pad too)
 Location      : RAM1 - 06
 Patches  Used : StringWave
 WaveSeqs Used : -
 Requirements  : -
 Date          : 6 Nov 1995

 Comments      : This patch should be played in 16th or 32nd notes 
                 (at about 130 up bmp) for the most effective effect. 
                 Maybe you can use it as a pad too but it may prove 
                 boring. 'Rapid Staccato' will not play piano-forte 
                 but the harder you press the key, the brighter the 
                 timbre is. I think we hear this kind of sound quite 
                 often by the way.

Performance Name: T-arc 27        *

 Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
 Sound Type    : Pad, Techno, Sequence
 Location      : RAM1 - 07
 Patches  Used : Techon-x, Stringy, Hi Arpeg
 WaveSeqs Used : T-J1, T-J2, T-J3, T-J4, String, Arpeg
 Requirements  : Plain WS
 Date          : 4th November 1995

 Comments      : This performance was programmed especially for
                 this first Patch Archive.
                
                 In the top half of the keyboard, a nice pad plays, 
                 with lots of reverb. In the bottom half of the 
                 keyboard, a mono rhythmic wavesequence plays (you can 
                 isolate the sequence elements using the joystick).

                 There is a really long, slow phaser at work, which 
                 sounds best with sustained chords. The string pad 
                 thing has a rather strange attack - playing staccato 
                 arpeggios brings out a nice reverbed shimmer in the 
                 upper keyboard range.
                
                 In addition, aftertouch or the mod wheel brings a 
                 third sequence element, a high arpeggio.
                
                 You can sync this to MIDI clock and jam along!
                
                 You may want to change the arpeg sequence to something 
                 a bit more in key with what you are playing.

Performance Name: Sort Of Yuck

 Author        : Paul Nagle
 Sound Type    : Lead, Distorted, Echo, Mono
 Location      : RAM1 - 08
 Patches  Used : Zappo
 WaveSeqs Used : -
 Requirements  : Synth & Timeslice PCM Card
 Date          : 

 Comments      : If anyone should use these commercially (well, you 
                 never know), all I require is a programming credit 
                 which is all vanity I know but some of these sounds 
                 took literally minutes of my time..... 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: Digilog

Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
Sound Type    : Lead, Bass
Location      : RAM1 - 09
Patches  Used : D-log
WaveSeqs Used : Dee-One, Dee-Two
Requirements  : Plain WS
Date          : 27th November 1995

Comments      : Straightforward synth lead or bass.
                Nothing in the way of performance controls.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: Techy 2

Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
Sound Type    : Techno, Sequence, Phased
Location      : RAM1 - 10
Patches  Used : T-time
WaveSeqs Used : Base, Other
Requirements  : Plain WS
Date          : 27th November 1995

Comments      : 16th note sequence with some other blippy bits. Phaser 
                techo-ises it a bit. Sync-2-Midi to sequence.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: S and H

Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
Sound Type    : Analog, Sequence
Location      : RAM1 - 11
Patches  Used : S and H
WaveSeqs Used : WSTouch
Requirements  : Plain WS
Date          : 24th November 1995

Comments      : Kind of blippy sample and hold (-ish!) sequence. 
                Again, useful when synced to Midi.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: Reflects

Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
Sound Type    : Lead, Wet
Location      : RAM1 - 12
Patches  Used : Reffer
WaveSeqs Used : -
Requirements  : Plain WS
Date          : 31st November 1995

Comments      : Techno-ish lead with a gated reverb effect which 
                modernises it. Play short staccato lead lines.
                
                The joystick gives some tonal variation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Performance Name: Reflex

Author        : Ben Hall <benj@city.ac.uk>
Sound Type    : Lead, Echo
Location      : RAM1 - 13
Patches  Used : Reffer
WaveSeqs Used : -
Requirements  : Plain WS
Date          : 31st November 1995

Comments      : This uses the same patch as above, but uses different 
                effects to give a somewhat different sound.
                
                The joystick again fades between four separate waves 
                to introduce some tonal variation.
