Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing
Longtime Korg fans still fondly remember our revolutionary Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing technologies. Well, they’re back and better than ever. The Vector Joystick - along with a Vector Envelope and Vector Modulation - allows for smooth blending between the two oscillators in Program mode.

But the Combination mode is where the Advanced Vector Synthesis features really come alive, as you freely blend between four different mixtures of sounds from the 16 timbres to create evocative, moving textures. Up to five Vector “positions” can be defined, with either rhythmic value (from an internal or external clock) or absolute time used to specify the timing between positions. This complex Vector Envelope can be continually looped for sounds that are constantly in motion. Vector control also offers cool, user-definable modulation of many of the HD-1’s parameters.

Wave Sequences play back a series of selected waveforms over time, creating either distinctive rhythmic timbres or smooth, complex and continually evolving sounds. You can even specify the playback pitch for each step.
Wave Sequencing Step Parameters
Other additions to this classic technology include support for stereo and RAM samples, greatly enhanced tempo synchronization, adjustable fade-in and fade-out shapes per step, swing, trigger quantization and key sync, and real-time duration modulation.
Wave Sequencing Sequence Parameters
Additionally, dual integrated step-sequencer modulation outputs allow Wave Sequences to control virtually any Program parameter such as filter cutoff, pan, Drive, LFO speed and more. Conversely, the many OASYS Alternate Modulation Sources (AMS) can be used to provide an extra level of realtime or automated control over Wave Sequence parameters.

This demo is part of a CD released in Germany by Korg & More to showcase the OASYS. Everything on the demo came from a single OASYS. It is presented in two resolutions in consideration for your Internet connection speed. For the lower resolution version (192 bitrate), click here (mp3, 8.66MB).
A few production notes:
The piano is the EXs-2 Piano (503 MB), slightly edited to suit Andreas’ touch (velocity curve) and taste (filter response).
The drums were played live into the sequencer from the EXs-1 Studio-Standard Kit (I-E 004), again edited slightly to match how Andreas likes to map drum sounds for playing live (some small mistakes were edited out later, of course!).
The percussion part in the middle was generated by KARMA, then resampled and laid back into the track as an audio loop.
