Could KORG have sold the wavestate cheaper? Maybe? I don't know. I didn't really question the price as I felt it was a super deal.

I would like more information on how to build my own modules. I guess it is to the Internet for me to research how to do this

I’m happy to walk you or anyone else through the entire process if you like.

Kudos to Korg.
I've perhaps 15 - 20 Korg synthesizers but haven't been buying too much of their releases in recent years (though I bought the KingKorg recently (a _seriously_ good synthesizer - and I mean ___seriously___ good - like a fine wine!!)) - but it's now time to rectify than and support them more by buying some of these _amazing_ new releases. |
I'm with you, Kevin. I haven't purchase any new equipment since the original Kronos. It's time I investigate the Wavestate SE when it comes to market. |
Agree - amazing little synth. Definitely getting one.
I'd love to see Korg now work with Stephen Kay to bring Karma to such a format with a plethora of dedicated controls going beyond even when OASYS/Kronos offer - perhaps even for them to thin Karma out a bit - but make it more controllable in a "grove-box" or small synth format. There is - let's be clear - incalculable potential - currently utapped - in Karma |
That would be amazing!!! _________________ Cheers,

Hey Sharp, out of interest did you write your own sound engine and DSP? I started playing with DSP programming under RISC OS as an alternative to Linux, as it’s cooperative multitasking and full hardware access means extremely low latency, but was just wondering about the approach you took. _________________ Current Equipment:

No, I went down the route of all open source software. Basically I've built two different kinds of units, the smallest of which is a Raspberry Pi 4 I installed into this exact case with touch screen.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07ZKMH8D4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Flash the SD with an OS called Zynthian which come preloaded with various synth engines integrated with a custom UI. You can load data into the sound moduld over LAN or WiFi as it has it's own local host URL that brings up a web interface.
I'm running Linux Sampler on this and a choice of FX engines as my main sound engine and loading vast Gigabytes of Sample libraries. Maybe as much as 70GB and growing.
My main every day unit is a bigger build which has full Inputs / outputs, standard midi ports and so on. I built that from a Kit you can buy direct from Zynthian.

Sharp. |
