The Preference box will appear, Select the Audio tab if not already selected. In Driver Type select the type of audio driver you would like to use and its settings.

About Audio Drivers and Latency Latency is the time that elapses when a note-on message is transmitted from a connected external MIDI device until the computer passes the sound out the audio outputs. The lower the latency number in ms the less you will notice a delay when you play. This setting is going to depend on the type of audio interface you use. An ASIO interface will produce much less latency then using MME (Multi Media Extension). If you do not have an ASIO interface, use Direct Sound. A good quality professional ASIO audio interface will produce more desirable results.

The Wavestation

The WAVESTATION appeared in 1990, with its "Advanced Vector Synthesis System", which combined and shifted between multiple complex waveforms. It received numerous awards from around the world, including Keyboard Magazine's "Hardware Innovation of the Year." It is still a sought-after and widely used synthesizer. The user can operate a joystick to "mix" or "morph" between four oscillators selected from the large onboard collection of waveforms, or create a Wave Sequence by placing waveforms in a specific order to create rhythmic sequence patterns. This opened up a revolutionary new world of sound to which there is still nothing comparable.

Mapping the Vector Joystick to a hardware controller

1. 2. 3. Launch the Wavestation in stand-alone mode. Click on GLOBAL, located directly below the Performances name. Joystick +/- X defaults to CC16, and joystick +/- Y to CC17. These numbers can be reassigned to any CC number within the range between 00 and 95, simply by clicking on the currently assigned CC number.

Touring the Sounds

The Wavestation software synthesizer contains all 484 waveforms, 550 Performance Presets, and 55 effects from the Wavestation SR, which encompassed all the presets from all incarnations of the Wavestation.
1. 2. From the GLOBAL screen (where you mapped the Vector Joystick), click SELECT located directly below the name of the currently selected Performance. From the SELECT screen you can change between RAM and ROM bank Performances by clicking on the name.

Dont forget to use the Vector Joystick control as you tour these sounds:

Legacy Cell

Legacy Cell is a completely new idea, not available on any other software synthesizer. It is a revolutionary "combination structure" that allows you to use one of five different combinations of synthesizers (MS-20 + Polysix, 2 x MS-20, 2 x Polysix, 1 x MS-20, or 1 x Polysix) plus two insert effects and two master effects - as a single software synthesizer that delivers powerful new sounds and textures! You can freely specify key and velocity layers/splits and velocity curves to switch between the combinations of synthesizers. For the insert and master effects, you can choose from 19 different effect algorithms (some developed for the TRITON-Series keyboards). There's also a controller section, where you can assign any synthesizer or effect parameter for easy onscreen control, providing virtually infinite possibilities for music production and performance.

Legacy Cell and microKONTROL Exclusive communication

If you are using a Korg microKONTROL as a controller, it will automatically be shifted into an Exclusive Mode when the Legacy Cell instrument is launched as stand-alone. Exclusive mode allows you to move through the Legacy Cells Edit screens using the microKONTROLs pads. It allows you to select the Cells programs using the value dial, and also allows you to view the current program number on your microKONTROLs main display screen. Furthermore, all of the parameter name assignments made for the encoders and sliders in the Legacy Cell instrument are automatically transferred and updated on the corresponding microKONTROL display screens for the physical sliders and encoders. This happens each time you select a new program in Legacy Cell.
Note: If communication is not established when Legacy Cell launches, please check your connections and then go to the MIDI settings page in Preferences for the Cell instrument. For any of the three MIDI devices, select [Exclusive] microKONTROL Port A on Windows XP or [Exclusive] microKONTROL Port 2 on Mac OS X.

Touring the Sounds

1. 2. Launch the Legacy Cell in stand-alone mode. After it launches, you will see the PERFORMANCE screen containing the first 32 preset programs. The Legacy Cell contains 256 preset programs. Sound banks load in as banks of 128. The second bank of 128 can be loaded in by clicking on FILE, located below the programs list. Then click Load Bank, and direct your browser to the Legacy Presets folder located your Korg folder, located either in your Programs folder(Windows XP) or in your Applications folder(MacOS X). Double-click the LegacyCell_B.fxb file to load the second bank.

3.

Using the mouse or the value dial on your microKONTROL, select any of the programs in the PERFORMANCE window. Note that in the upper right hand corner you can see what synths make up the program. By doubleclicking on a synth in the top right corner, you will enter the editing screen for that synth. Located at the bottom of this window, you can view and alter the effects (up to 2) being used on that synth.

Be sure to select and work with these Legacy Cell sounds:

000 Vaporization Pad: 105 Antique Lamp: 035 Hard Sync Lead: 089 Bad C Split 1: 001 Doubled Screamer: Contains an MS-20 and a Polysix and uses 4 effects Contains 1 Polysix and uses 2 effects Contains 1 MS-20 and uses 3 effects Contains an MS-20 and a Polysix and uses 4 effects. This is a good example of the split capabilities of the cell structure Contains 2 Polysixs both at 8 voice unison and uses 6 effects

Editing
1. The Legacy Cell contains 4 buttons, located at the top-left portion of the window. These buttons will allow you to move through the main edit screens for the Cell. The first and the fourth buttons will always be the same PERFORMANCE and COMBINATION. The middle buttons will change depending on which synths are being used for the current program. 2. From the PERFORMANCE screen, you can mouse-click on any encoder or slider and move it to change the value for the assigned parameter listed above it. Parameters can be re-assigned by clicking on the name, in the little blue screens. When not using a microKONTROL, controller numbers can be re-assigned by Rightclicking (Windows XP) or ctrl-clicking (Mac OS X) on the graphic of the slider or encoder in the Cell instrument. You can manually set the cc # or choose to Learn it from a physical controller. 3. Master effects (up to 2) and mixer settings can be assigned and edited from the PERFORMANCE screen as well. The middle portion of the window shows the current assignment of master effects. By Right-clicking (Windows XP) or ctrl-clicking (Mac OS X) on the program name in blue, effect window you can select from any of the 128 preset effect programs included in the collection. By clicking on the algorithm name below it you can choose from any of the 19 effect algorithms. Mixer settings are located in the bottom right portion of the Cell instrument window. 4. Synths used in a Legacy Cell program can be edited by clicking on one of the synth buttons at the top of the window. Editing the synth in Cell is identical to editing the synth in stand-alone except that now up to 2 insert effects can be applied to each. Effects are located at the bottom of the synth edit screen. 5. The COMBINATION screen allows you to edit Key Zone, Velocity Zone, Key Transpose, Control Change and Channel Pressure for each of the synth parts that make up the Cell program.

MDE-X Effects, and the MS-20 filter as an Effect

The 19 MDE-X effects can be used independently in your DAW, as well as within the Legacy Cell. Many of these incredibly versatile effects come from the famous TRITON-Series Music Workstations. In addition to the MDE-X effects, the MS-20 filter can also be used as an effect plug-in on any virtual instrument or audio track inside you host DAW!
1. 2. 3. Launch your DAW application. Select an audio or virtual instrument track. Apply an effect plug-in to the track. From the plug-in choices, you will have a folder call KORG. Inside the folder you will see MDE-X and MS-20FX. By choosing MDE-X, you will be able to access all of the 19 MDE effects and the 128 preset effect programs. 4. When choosing the MS-20FX, a window will open with the same layout for the MS-20 as in stand-alone or as a virtual instrument. Parameters can be edited and assigned to controllers, containing 32 effect presets, located in the PROG LIST screen.

Note:

Running audio and or virtual instruments through the MS-20FX will actually make the signal fatter, as if it is

running through true analog circuitry!
