P.A.F Carter's WS Banks: 
OK, here are two now quite old banks which contain some of my favourite personal creations on my WS EX. They are are in the form of a single raw sysex file, and contain all of the sounds present in PAFCWEB1.mid and PAFCWEB2.mid, with some improvements, and many more new sounds.


These banks are the result of many enjoyable hours/days!/months!!/years!!! of tweaking LFO frequency/filter cut-off etc. 


Note about the banks:

I use my WS as my only synth sound source (lack of cash being one reason...), so there are a lot of basic 'workhorse' sounds here as well as more wavesequency/weird stuff. 
I try to 'get the most sounds for my money' out of the available memory space, so many of the sounds have variations that are accessed via the mod wheel (to change the selection of waves), which means that, for example, different bass, percussion or ep sounds, that generally have the same attack and decay characteristics, can be accessed from the same patch. 
When it comes to recording a track in my sequencer (in multimode), I often make a recording of the modwheel and/or joystick position at the start of the track in order that the chosen wave/waves and mix are selected for that particular performance. 
Another way of economising patches is to set the FX bus assignment in the Performance part details to patch, and then select the waves you want to hear within that particular patch by modifying the FX bus assignment of the waves in the patch.

pafcws97.syx 
Pafcws97.syx: is a raw system exclusive file, 
Load this into a sysex dumper utility and send it to the wavestation on midi channel 1.
Pafcws97.syx contains two Wavestation Ex banks by Paul A.F. Carter.
