            Not Another bank of my Korg Wavestation Performances!
            =====================================================

(12/06/96)

This is my fifth bank of patches uploaded to the net - the first was 
BENS_WS3.ZIP and so on up to BENS_WS7.ZIP. All data remains 
the copyright of me (Ben Hall) - see below.

BENS_WS7.SYX is a raw sysex format file containing some more of my
Wavestation sounds to add to your collections. There are 25
performances in this library, and all should work on any WS (ie the
WS, EX, A/D and SR).

The SoundDiver format library version of this bank is called
BENS_WS7.LIB, and the midifile format version is BENS_WS7.MID.

They are addressed to RAM1, and should be transmitted to a WS on Midi
channel 1.

Hopefully I will put on the net most of the patches I make (not enough
people do this, for mostly understandable reasons). If anyone has any
nice WS patches they want to bung in my direction, please do!

You are free to use these patches in any way you please, upload them
anywhere etc etc. Please keep this text file with the bank. This bank 
is:
                      Copyright 1996 Ben Hall

If you use these or any of my other patches on any commercial 
recordings, it'd be nice if you could drop me a line and tell me, or 
better still, send me a free copy... :)

RAM-02 00 'Arpeg-e8      *'

	Echoey synth lead sound with a slight pitch bend attack, and a 
	bit of timbral modulation from an LFO applied to the vector 
	envelope. Quite god for arpeggios.

RAM-02 01 'Voco-aahs     *'

	This was just an experiment with the vocoders, really. It 
	consists of a rhythmic wave sequence applied to a vocal pad.

RAM-02 02 'Vocosequence01*'

	Another vocoder experiment, with one sound modulating another. 
	Playing sixteenth note arpeggios using the full range of the 
	keyboard give nice vocoder tonal characteristics - very ELO...

RAM-02 03 'Trance-s28    *'

	Hold a note on the bottom octave or so of the keyboard, and 
	you'll hear a sixteenth note wave sequence. Now fade up the 
	mod wheel which brings in a trancey analog-style echoey 
	sequence. The top half of the keyboard plays another wave 
	sequence which can be mixed in. Sync-to-midi and up the tempo 
	and jam!

RAM-02 04 'Syndy         *'

	Another wave sequencey type-thing.	

RAM-02 05 'Mono-poly     *'

	Mono-duo lead sound which uses two parts with different legato 
	treatment to get a mono lead, or alternatively two duo lines.

RAM-02 06 'Arr-pe-gee-o  *'

	Split performance with an arpeggio-ey wavesequence in the 
	lower half, and a crossfading synth pad in the top half of the 
	keyboard.

RAM-02 07 'Volswell Lead *'

	Lead/pad sound that starts of quietly and is faded in with 
	aftertouch for a neat swell effect (like the trick of fading 
	in the volume knob that guitarists use). Alternatively you can 
	fade up the mod wheel which increases the volume but you then 
	lose the swell effect.

RAM-02 08 'Teqno Jam     *'

	Another split performance with a percusivy/bass sequence on 
	the lower half, and an echoey crossfading lead/pad sound in 
	the top half.

RAM-02 09 'Wetwave Lead  *'

	Mono lead sound with gallons of effects.

RAM-02 10 'Highly Strung *'

	String pad with a synthy metallic attack.

RAM-02 11 'Mod-ular 16ths*'

	I like this one a lot. It simulates the kind of sample and 
	hold effect found on many analogue and modular synths. 
	Aftertouch closes down the filter, and the mod wheel increases 
	the flange effect for a kind of ring-modulated effect, and the 
	joystick A-C axis changes the tone. Also, playing up and down 
	the keyboard affects how bright the sequence is. Again, this 
	one syncs to midi.

RAM-02 12 'Seekwence 32s *'

	Another kind of techo wave sequence.

RAM-02 13 'Seekwence     *'

	Techno/dance synth sound.

RAM-02 14 'Go West       *'

	This is inspired by Go West's "We Close Our Eyes" single back 
	in the mid-80s, which had a big synth part playing the main 
	riff. Mod wheel and aftertouch introduce some LFO modulation.

RAM-02 15 'Ben's Sine Pad*'

	Nice smooth sine pad.

RAM-02 16 'Filter Pad 2  *'

	Similar to the above performance, but aftertouch increases the 
	filter cut-off.

RAM-02 17 'Opus III      *'

	This performance is one for the arpegio freaks of us out 
	there! Basically, there's an arpeggiating part that plays on 
	the middle half of the keyboard, that pans left and right 
	while playing (or you can use the joystick A-C axis to pan it 
	manually). Aftertouch modulates a phaser effect that gives a 
	nice squelchy effect, and the phaser is fed into a reverb so 
	that the phaser squelch modulates the sound of the reverberant 
	tail as well. The mod wheel closes the filter on the 
	arpeggiating part, and the joystick B-D axis controls the 
	reverb level (fully down is dry and fully up is soaking wet). 
	There is another sequency part that plays on the bottom half 
	of the keyboard playing wavesequencey 16th notes, and the top 
	octave plays a belly sound, useful for accents. Also (yup, 
	there's still more!) the pitch bend wheel has a cool effect. 
	The straight 16th note sequence and one of the arpeggiating 
	parts will bend up/down one octave, but the other arpeggiating 
	part bends up/down a fifth, which gives a nice effect to the 
	arpeggios. Try it!

RAM-02 18 'Angel Walla   *'

	Vocal pad with random angelic voices. Wop the mod wheel up and 
	the vox bend up and down. Nice for a background effect. You 
	could also take out the pad patch for a more abstract effect.

RAM-02 19 'Mirage        *'

	Dry synth pad which uses the vocoder for its timbre.

RAM-02 20 'Vocosequence02*'

	Like Vocosequence01 but with a different set of patches and a 
	more pronounced effect. Again, sounds best when you hop all 
	over the keyboard for a really nice vocoder effect.

RAM-02 21 'Ambivere      *'

	Nice ambient fifths pad. Higher velocities bring in an 
	organ-ey sound, for no other good reason except that I liked 
	it... :)

RAM-02 22 'Diddy Thing   *'

	Little echoey sequence thing that works quite nicely as a 
	little musical punctuation mark (if you understand me...)

RAM-02 23 'Marble Bounce?*'

	A sound effect that speeds up and explodes..! (?)

RAM-02 24 'Kitchen Sync  *'

	Lead sound, with a big sync-bend - the mod wheel increases 
	this further, with afterouch introducing some vibrato.

Hope you can find a use for 'em. Enjoy!
               
Unashamed plug: EMAGIC's SoundDiver is by far the best generic sysex
management software available (IMHO). Check out the EMAGIC stuff on
the net:  http://www.mcc.ac.uk/~emagic/emagic_page.html
          ftp.mcc.ac.uk    pub/music/emagic

Unashamed plug #2: If you are an Atari ST/TT/Falcon user of more
modest means and need a sysex dumper program, get my own Dump It!
program. It's free, and is rather nice (ahem). (It's also not quite
released yet - yes, still!, 'cos I keep adding things.... :)
