Synthesist Ian Dixon shared this look at sequencing using the Pitch Lane on the Korg modWave, wavestate, and the new multi/poly.
His examples focus on the modWave plugin, but the technique are relevant to the hardware and software versions of these synths:
Here’s what he has to say about the video:
“I demonstrate how you can use the pitch lane feature of the motion sequencer to build your own complex sequences. You’ll learn how to use the motion sequencer to re-trigger envelopes, control the filter, and manipulate pitch. I also show how the Fit to Scale option ensures your sequences play in your chosen scale, and how the Shape Control lets you fine-tune pitch transitions smoothly.
The video includes examples on the Modwave (the process is identical on the Mono/Poly) as well as the Wavestate.
This technique will unlock a world of sonic possibilities for you on these incredibly powerful synthesizers.”
Just C, Vallotti, 19 tone, Gamelan, and custom scales: all yours for the purchase of an E-MU 1992 Vintage Keys. Hell, any scale is free.
Sonically, not as fancy as this beast, admittedly, but good to know the tech community dumped scales 30 years ago that can be re-marketed as fancy and new now.
Good luck to all, and happy new year.
As far I know, at least the Wavestate is based on a raspberry pi. Considered how cheap these are Korg is asking a ridiculous amount of money for these products.
Whatever. Linnstrument as well. Why reinvent the calculator? The Raspberry’s been perfected. Be glad they do it like this, otherwise the gear would be even more expensive to make up for the r&d. Same with pedals running on effect-dedicated chipsets.
I have more problems with the Opsix to be fair. Who releases a digital synth with 60 voices of polyphony in the 2020s, and then decides to make it monotimbral? How have we gone from the late eighties/early nineties era of cheaply available 16-part multitimbral full DX7 engines, to this 21st century design flaw?
Price isn’t the biggest issue with Korg products for me, it’s the cut corners and the half baked approach to design. I had an electribe 2 sampler, and it has the questionable distinction of being the only piece of audio gear I ever sold. Decent piece of kit, hampered by too many unnecessary limitations and a RAM capacity from 1989.
