Thanks for all your work with tutorials and free sounds for the Modwave. I'm really enjoying playing around with this synth and I feel like I'm beginning to get a rudimentary grasp on how stuff works, which should allow me to move beyond just playing using presets. I've now bought the Native version as well so that should also give me more workflow and recording options. I've got a few keyboards now and loads of vsts but I think the Modwave is going to be my main choice to try to learn sound design on and to understand the basics of sound synthesis.
Quite generous....thank you for this and all your tutorials!
ciao complimenti per il tuo canale you tube ho il korg modwave mk2 e sarei felice se puoi creare alcune patches di jeanne michael jarre usate negli album equinoxe e oxygene...scusa se scrivo italiano ma l inglese non lo conosco.
@@gigialfieri3052 Grazie per il commento. Lo aggiungerò alla mia lista di cose da fare
I couldn't listen as it seemed you were taking a dump, also I came here to learn how to delete messages in the phone link app, no see that here.
This used to me my mellotron emulation in the early 00s!
It does sound like a Mellotron
Nice job.
Thanks for checking them out!
@@IanDixonTDL I may give those a go.. I'm a fan of the Wavestation series as you can probably tell. Just got the Wavestate desktop to go along with the WS-EX and WS-SR (and the soft synth versions). I also made some 'Wavestation' style patches (including a version of Debussy on Wheels) for my soft synth Hyperion - if you are interested I can PM you a NFR.
@@wavesequencer i am also a fan, I haven't used that software synth
Just downloaded the Fairlight great stuff thanks
Thanks! More Wavestate sets coming.
Can i do on modwave Like minifreak lfo user Waveshapes
You can't create user LFO but you can use the motion sequencer to create your own custom values like an LFO
Merci pour tout et de votre Altruisme exemplaire ❤💐
Thanks!
Hello mate do you think this is comparable to the surface pro 7 and is the battery enough for a few periods of high school , also some say its laggy and not a big upgrade from 3 do you agree with that sorry for all the questions but thank you
I can't say as I don't have either device to test it against but the battery is good on it and it should be fine for school. I think the SP7 CPU may be a bit faster.
@@IanDixonTDL thank you so much much appreciated
Really great
Thank you!
Good job, Mr. Dixon! Thanx alot for sharing!
no problem
I know I'm repeating myself, but I have to say it again: especially the Modwave Native soft synth is an incredible gem, unbeatable sound possibilities for its (on offer almost ridiculously low) price. What you are sharing here is just great, as usual!
Many thanks, yes the Native is a gem.
A real gem, thanks for sharing!
No problem
Simply sensational
Thanks!
Would love to see some tutorial vids on these genesis ones
Tutorial on how I made the sounds or the music of Genesis?
Thank you for this amazing soundbank Ian.
No worries!
Many thanks as ever Ian. You are the Best.
You are very welcome
Well done!!
Thanks!
What is the expected release date for the download?
The link is live now thedigitallifestyle.com/w/2024/07/soundscapes-sequences-free-korg-modwave-performances/
Wow another pack! Sounds fantastic! How do you manage to be so productive and where can I get some?!
Thanks, the download is live thedigitallifestyle.com/w/2024/07/soundscapes-sequences-free-korg-modwave-performances/
What I noticed this time is they all sound very pleasant, very "finished". I guess with some of them you could just make whole tracks by just launching that kaoss ball so that it does its modulation thing and then just change to a different note every 10 seconds or 4 bars and that alone will sound as a good track. So with this collection you could record a whole album, maybe adding a little percussion or bass or effects where some more movement is needed. And those would be good tracks, certainly above average. Really tasty sounds.
Thanks, please go ahead and make that album :)
GREAT Ian, also for Wavestate ??
No sorry but I do have a different Wavestate set in the works.
Fantastic Ian! With your trick of triggering samples via the arpeggiator, have you tried to find a way to trigger different keys of one of the multisampled drumkits to produce something say open and closed hihats together from the one multisample, or even more drum parts than that?
I don't think you can do that. You can use the pitch lane on note advance but it triggers the same sample but with a different pitch rather than the next sound on the key.
@@IanDixonTDL I think it should be possible when using multisamples - they have different samples (usually for different ranges of the same instrument like piano - you cannot just transpose one sample for high and low notes and have a realistic piano sound) packed one after another into one file with added special markup saying "from this position it's C4 note and from this position E4 note" and so on. So the idea is you can add say kick, snare, hihat etc into the same file and mark them as different notes (say kick on C4, snare on C5 etc) and at least with arpeggiator (and I guess on pitch lane using note advance as well) it should trigger the ranges in the multisample corresponding to the notes. You could check it trying arpeggiator + pitch lane note advance trick with a piano multisample - if higher and lower notes still sound like normal piano then this should work.
@@AntonMochalin I think I tried something similar and Ian might be right about how this behaves. My modwave is not to hand currently so I can't easily try this right now. The arpeggiator can arpeggiate a chord though, so maybe you can prime it with the keys corresponding to the drum samples within the multisampled drumkit and use the sequencer to advance that. Either way, this will be limited to sequences that only play a single sample at a time (per layer).
You are just amazing. So well made and explained sounds.
Wow, thank you!
this sounds , son joya !
Thanks!
A point of reference to know new sounds and learning how to use them and to apply them in new sound creation. Fantastic!!! really many thanks 🙂 Ciao Giovanni
No problem!
As always great set of performances, appreciate your efforts in making these. Had my Modwave a few weeks now and learning a lot from your previous videos. Massive thanks.
Thanks! If you have any questions I am doing a live stream next week.
You are just marvelous!!!! 🎹💪🏻
Many thanks!
How in the world did you even manage to get ahold of an early build of Windows 7 in 2008? Edit: I just realized: This video was uploaded the day after I was born!
I had good contacts back them! Thanks for the comment, now I feel really old.
I have the same. is it able for stereo sound?
yes it is
@@IanDixonTDL The button STEREO / MONO ist wrong. But it works!
@@Darmstadtiensis I am using it for stereo and it works ok
@@IanDixonTDL The button STEREO / MONO ist wrong. But it works!
say, did you have notify when left behind turned on for your checked bag ?? or did you have to change anything to get the notifications at baggage collection location ?? thanks
you can have notifications on or off. So it can tell you when its found.
@@IanDixonTDL is that the notify me if left behind option ?? or what was the notification setting ?? thank you
@@JoelSc14 I had switched the option to notify me when left behind on before hand.
@@IanDixonTDL excellent, thanks so much
Thank you for showing this. I used to love the tree walk on our holidays to Scarborough in the 70’s. I keep searching for footage of the ‘flea circus’ as I was fascinated with it.
@shirleylarsen999 no problem, glad it brought back some memories
It's a great solution, do you know where to buy it? I don't find it on the internet
They don't seem to be selling them at the moment which is a shame as I use mine all the time
ah yes, I had one - the piano, especially low down, was absolutely excellent - always went to that piano ❤
Can you do Chorazon?
I could have a go
When I have my Korg PA5X connected, all I see is "Generic USB MIDI". I have the latest KORG USB-MIDI Driver Tools for Windows (1.15.5101) installed. No idea why it doesn't show KORG in Device Manager? I'm on the latest version of Windows 11 - 10.0.22631. I read thru the many very angry KORG customers regarding this drive 10 MIDI device limit that is ONLY and EXCLUSIVELY a KORG problem. Was hoping it would be fixed by now ... but there still seems to be issues? Is a class action lawsuit really the only option to motivate KORG into doing something?
It shouldn't be an issue anymore. I have the latest drivers installed and my Korg devices are on slot 12 and 13. It sounds like it has not be recognised.
@@IanDixonTDL Thanks for response. When I turn the KORG Pa5X on, the Generic USB MIDI does appear in device manager. If I turn the KORG off, the Generic USB MIDI disappears from device manager. So Win11 is recognizing the device, but isn’t using the KORG driver. I did try to Update driver and point to the location but Win11 came back saying I have the most recent driver installed.
You are my hero!!! So many GREAT sounds you have already generated! I am looking forward for this collection!
Looking forward to this set. Thanks Ian.
Thanks
Super nice teaser sound patch and melody, as usual. You‘ve got it!
Thanks
Any tips to make the modwave sound warm
You can use the filter and the effects
Mw and Ws - user could almost get addicted because you currently have a lot of old and new sounds available for download. And the best part is, you do it for free. Great! Here's a medal for you🏅!
Thank you!
