Sound designer and synthesist Ian Dixon has shared a free sound library for the Korg Wavestate synthesizer.

The Korg Wavestate is a powerful and flexible synthesizer, but is best known for creating digital wave sequence sounds, which feature prominently in the synth’s preset sounds.

Dixon’s sound library demonstrates that the Wavestate can also do classic analog sounds. The free collection features patches based on the classic sounds of Solina, Mellotron, Elka, Roland, and ARP keyboards. It includes iconic sounds of Pink Floyd (“Shine On You Crazy Diamond”), Vangelis, and others.

It’s compatible with the Korg Wavestate, Wavestate mkII, Wavestate Rack, and Wavestate Native.

In the video, Dixon demos each of the sounds, and also shares some of the sound design secrets of his patches.
