Greetings synthusiasts and welcome to our latest release for the Korg Wavestate, Wavestate MKII, Wavestate SE and Wavestate Native. When we first had the idea to sample our beloved vintage Model-D for the Wavestate, we thought we should wait until we received it back from a fresh tune up. Then we reconsidered...Why not capture the device in it's current, beautifully imperfect state? After all, it's the minor flaws and blemishes that give a thing it's character and make it dear to our hearts. Upon completing the sampling process and playing the raw waves via the Wavestate, we were extremely surprised at just how stable the ole "D" still is. However, and we must stress this point, it is far from perfect. There is pitch drift galore and a bit of noise burned into to these samples. The noise floor was a respectable -73 db on average.
What's Included:
You get all 7 oscillator waveforms (Triangle, Saw-Triangle, Saw, Reverse Saw, Square, Pulse Wide and Pulse Narrow) and each multisample is comprised of 61 samples or 5 octaves. (61 samples because we also sampled the C6 key at the top of the range) We've also included both flavors of noise (white and pink). The noise multisamples are each comprised of a single looping sample. All samples were recorded at 24bit/48Khz via the Audient ASP-880 directly into Nuendo and great care was taken to avoid any degradation.
The downloaded Mini Mogue zip file is just over 600 mb. For a limited time, it also includes our Auto Rhythmica bank of drum & percussion performances as well as our Doc Riddum sample bank!!! Doc Riddum is a small collection of sci-fi sound fx and noise samples taken from our vintage Japanese drum machine and processed with tube based guitar processors. These are NOT drum samples...Please check out the video demo to get an idea of what is included here.
New to this release...We've also included the "MiniMogue.korgcompiledbank" file to simplify the sample bank import procedure. Simply copy this file to your Wavestate Native user sample bank folder and your done. (This applies to Wavestate Native only, hardware users will still have to use Sample Builder to compile the sample bank and send it to the hardware) Don't forget, after importing the sample bank, you still need to also import the MiniMogue Collection of Performances and Programs. We've included a bundle file: "MiniMogue (All Data).wsbundle" as well as the individual performance and program files.
