Description
“New Age Keys” is a collection of 50 presets for the Korg Wavestate synthesizer. These presets feature dreamy and beautiful sounds including synths, plucks, brasses, keys, pianos, strings, and woodwinds, perfect for genres like New Age, Cinematic, Ambient, Downtempo, Lounge, and Chill Out.
The bank covers a wide range of timbres: keys with acoustic, FM, wavetable, digital or analog flavor; vintage/retro synths recreations; sweet, warm, soft, gentle, cold, distant tones.
Each Performance consists of 4 layers that can be mixed using the Vector Envelope joystick. You can start by exploring each layer individually and then blend them together for unique combinations.
The presets utilize a unified mapping system for the 8 Mod Knobs/Marcos: 1 – Filter Modulation, 2 – Filter Modulation Rate, 3 – Amp and Pan Modulation (tremolo), 4 – Detune, 5 – Attack, 6 – Decay, 7 – Wave Sequencing, 8 – Wave Sequencing Rate.
The Wave Sequencing feature (Macro 7) adds an element of randomness and charm to the performance, with the wave/sample changing with each key press, and continuous changes if keys are held.
The presets are velocity sensitive, and the ModWheel can be used to add expression to your playing.
These presets are suitable for both the hardware and software (plugin) version of the Korg Wavestate synthesizer. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed.
