Korg Wavestation SR vs the Korg Legacy VSTi

Hardware wins again..... I made the VSTi clip 1 db louder and it stills sounds weak, where's the bottom and "warmth"?

Some patches sound totally different. I was going to sell my Wavestation SR, now I'm not so sure.... I also have a Wavestation keyboard that I bought brand new.


WavestationSR vs LegacyVSTi 2

Me attempting some Physcial Modelling sounds :)
just some Lexicon chamber reverb to add space

Bare in mind they are very basic - not much modulation going one for expressions etc 
But they serve as a nice template for further experimentation
That hard sync sound of the A6 can do a lot - I used it for these patches and some piano emulations

I own a Yamaha VL-1 although I haven't done too much on it 
Although I think the analog tone of the Andromeda feels a bit more cosy  :D

The click/thump on the string attack is a bit annoying, I can't seem to remove it no matter what I do Slower engine optimiser settings don't help much

Alesis Andromeda plucked string and wind instrument sounds

Showing the joys of Polyphonic or Key Aftetouch on the Ensoniq SQ-80 synth. 
It really does make it so much better

Gotta love them analog filters :)

Just trying this free VST out on my Roland MKS-80 rev 5.
Mutine is apparently modelled on a Mutronics Mutator
http://mokafix.chez-alice.fr/vst/Mutine_gb.html

Even though it only has 2 filters and 2 LFOs, it sounds quite a bit like the vactrol triple resonator on the old Korg PS 3100

A recent patch on the Alesis Andromeda, with some Lexicon chamber reverb

Alesis Andromeda Drone

I had both oscillators turned off at the mixer, and the filter is up, but no resonance.
But a sound is still made when you route VCO1 to modulate Filter FM. 
VCO1 modulated by the Sample and Hold, via a slow random LFO

:O


Alesis Andromeda - Osc FilterFM

A Roland SH2 sequenced via CV/Gate from a modified x0xb0x TB-303 clone, and then run through it's filters and VCA

Roland acid squelch 70s style  :)

Roland SH-2 x0x'ed

I created 4 variants of the sound and changed patches as the things progressed along. Turned on filter feedback here and there. You'll know when I do so :)

Just has some A6 delay and Lexicon exterior type reverb

Alesis Andromeda Horror Drone

I haven't tried the dual/split modes on  the Jupiter 8 much in the 10 years I've owned it! :)
So I decided to try it out today, and man does it sound silky, rich and lush!

Hard to believe it's vintage analog sometimes, it's so refined sounding.

I'm guessing this is what Roland is going for in the Jupiter 80....

Jupiter 8 Dual mode layer noodling

A virtual physical modelled sound that is a cross between a bowed string and wind blown instrument

Yamaha VL1 -  BreathBow

This sound uses both filters in series, but the 12db SEM filter doing all the filtering, and with filter feedback at 50%
Oscillators set very low on the pre filter mixer

Andromeda LFO Jam

Just a quick rough test, proof of concept

Minimoog, SH-2 and Andromeda tracked live into Presonus Studio one.
The Minimoog and SH-2 went through the Speck Xtramix first, while the Andromeda went directly into the audio interface

And then "mixed" in the box with a reverb on the Andromeda, and delay on the SH2. Minimoog is dry.
64 bit mode. No EQ or compression. Off line render to wav file 
I've never worked like this before. I used to be all midi, fired live.

Andromeda sits pretty well with these other two 70s vintage monosynths.
I used one of the "Yamaha CS" type patches I did a few weeks back.

Although having all three at once gobbles up all the mix space! :)

CCJ Minimoog SH-2 Andromeda

Here is an A6 and JP8 duet that just happened straight after I turned them on one day, and started playing - happy accident :)

A6 does the sequenced thing, JP8 the weird lead
