You can design a preset on iWavestation and then export/import it into you hardware though, can't you? Just not 'live'.
You can definitely get this sort of stuff from Electribe wave, so, like you say, if you can find the right wavetables it should be possible.
The advantage Electribe wave has is the easy wavetable browser, it is very fiddly with iWavestation wavetable browser...and the names are not necessarily the most descriptive
I wonder if the wavetables in Electribe Wave are also available in iWavestation, if they are, a map of where they are would be a useful thing to have.
I don't think they are.
In iWavestation you really construct your own wave tables by placing small samples one after the other. My understanding is that Electribe Wave comes with lots of more modern pre-made wavetables.
In iWavestation I believe there are quite a few interesting samples and waveforms from classic synths that work well when strung together. E.g. various resonant or effected square waves, saw waves etc. etc. These seem to work better for this sort of thing than samples of wind chime, a wood block or a trumpet or whatever.
In my initial plays so far I have gotten some more forceful sounds from this thing. Distortion and overdrive, applied judicially, help a great deal here.
The main issue I had was trying to pick and choose the right waveforms with that fiddly little slider bar but there is a better method using another editor I think. Need to keep going until the interface navigation sticks.
Use the ‘Wave’ section for choosing waveforms. Not the ‘wave sequence’ section. It makes it much easier.
Here’s my very first attempt at a nasty, grimey ‘modern’ bass patch that moves around a ‘wavetable’ using the mod wheel and has lots of distortion and chorus. Later in the video I use the joystick to mess with the filter too.
Sorry - it’s just recorded with iOS screen capture so it’s mono not stereo (which is a shame because the stereo chorus sounds good) - but you get the idea.
What do you reckon?
(And sorry, I know it’s terribly out of time! I just wacked in some notes!)
Yup, that sounds about right.
Souds good, and a great example of how this 'old' kit is still relevant today and not just able to make those 'old' sounds
what syrupcore said
Funny that we both have the SR. ...and other things.
I do wonder if we'll ever see the A/D feature implemented in iWavestation?
(ie. the Wavestation A/D 'rack' had an analog input that could be fed thru the vocoder and other effects).
Nice patch!
With these type of sounds i found it works well to copy the part (“Matt Pad Templa” in this case) and add it to part 2 and pan them hard left/right. Add a few ms delay and perhaps slightly detune them.
Cool, thanks. I was thinking to add another part and defune it in some way. I’ll try what you suggest.
+1 on that!! I’d be willing to support it via IAP.
Hi @R_2 - would you be able to explain how I can (hard) pan? I know it’s something to do with sending different patches to bus C and D - but I can’t figure it out.
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 Assign part 1 to Bus A and part 2 to bus B (or any nummer in between like attached pic).
But this doesn’t work with all FXs. Some (like distrortion for instance) make the sound mono.
Thanks so much.
What are bus C and D for then?
And what’s the ‘Pan’ section (accessible from the menu) for?
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 Bus C & D offer extra routing options in combination with the two FX (which can set parallel or serial).
It’s possible to sent sounds to both FX or a specific one, or dry and anything in between.
Complicated at times, but does give extra sound design options.
Explained from page 46 of the manual
Brilliant. Thanks very much for the help. I’ll give that bit of the manual a read
Last annoying question...
Anyone know if there’s a glide / portamento option in iWavestation? I can’t find anything in the manual or the app.
Not that I know of.
The only way I could imagine doing monophonic glide is to use MIDI CC mapped to the pitch envelope in Edit > Tone > Pitch, calculated by some nerdy MidiFire/Streambyter script that memorizes the previous note played and adjusts the initial value of the pitch EG as soon as the next played note arrives. I haven't tried it because I'd rather do it manually with pitch bend automation in Gadget.
Good question Matt, I can’t find any way to glide/portamento.. I’ve tried the kaoss pad set to mono - but no glide between notes ! . There is the pitch envelope, one per wave seq.. could be of some use..
Also I’ve found that using Bus A will give you a hard pan left, Bus B a hard pan right..same for bus’ C+D (although using C and D together will be stereo).
Thanks.
Yes, re Bus A and B.
The only thing I’ve found, though, is that most effects (eg all the delays and reverbs) seem to nullify the panning. One exception is the Stereo Chorus.
Thanks. That sounds way too complicated to bother with
