KORG wavestate native Explained
Join veteran Groove3 instructor Tyler Coffin for an in-depth look at KORG's wavestate native, a software instrument version of the hardware synth that helped redefine wave sequencing, making an entirely new world of sounds possible. You'll learn how to blend up to four layers, shape envelopes, filter sounds, add randomization, create complex modulation sequences, and much more. After the course, you'll master this powerful instrument and be ready to design your own custom patches. These wavestate native videos are designed for new users.
Videos
• Introduction & Overview (01:52) - To start things out, we take a brief look at the broad aspects and nature of KORG's wavestate native, a software instrument with synthesis inspired by and expanded from the classic Wavestation, fully compatible and exchangeable with its hardware counterpart.
• Basic Interface & Operation (04:44) - Get an overview of wavestate native's interface as well as the different parts and sections within it.
• Overview Page (05:12) - The Overview Page is where we can find some commonly used parameters to make quick edits to the different Layers. Here, we get a look at these options so that we can jump into each of them deeper as we move on.
• Synthesis Page (08:21) - Here, we go through the Synthesis page, where we can access the filter, pitch, and amp options for each program.
• Wave Sequencing 2.0 (13:31) - In addition to the standard synth options, each layer also has its own Wave Sequence to allow for programmed dynamic parameter movement and sample changes. Here, we go through this page of wavestate native.
• Modulation & Vector Synthesis (12:23) - Discover how we can modulate our parameters by traditional means or with Vector Synthesis as used by the classic Wavestation, which allows us to blend between sounds with the Vector Joystick or a programmable Vector Envelope.
• Setup, Zones & Scales (06:06) - In this video, we take a look at the Setup page and the Zones & Scales page of wavestate native.
• Effects (09:45) - Effects can be added to each layer or to the entire performance in the form of reverb & EQ. In this video, we go through our effects options.
• Sound Design Example: Bass (05:17) - Here, we use our knowledge of wavestate native to create a simple bass sound and save it as a program for a single Layer.
• Sound Design Example: Leads (08:29) - Next, we build a monophonic lead, followed by a wave-sequenced sample sound.
• Sound Design Example: Performances (06:29) - Follow along as we design full performances that use multiple programs from our creations and the factory programs.
• Review & Conclusion (04:11) - To close things out, we get a brief review of all that we've learned in wavestate native plus a few closing remarks and tips so that you're fully prepared to dig in and create your own great sounds.
