@@OneManAndHisSongsI agree. I’m a moderately experienced synth programmer, I can even stumble my way around FM (although I’m currently looking for tutorials on the De-Xed VST, I actually prefer it to more modern implementations like the Reason FM synth which is far too flexible, IMO - which just makes it harder to get my head around unless I want to specialise… which I don’t). Anyway (went off on one for a bit there!). Thanks for these WS videos. As I said, I understand the principles but the quirks of the Wavestation - especially its patch/programme structure - was driving me crazy. So your tutorials have been fantastic and I never mind going through the fundamentals one more time!
Brilliant series of tutorial videos which have helped me to finally understand this amazing but quite complex synth. If I may make a suggestion for a future tutorial series, what about the Waldorf PPG Wave 3V? I've never really been able to get my had around that synth as the user manual is not great. Thanks Anthony.
I'm glad you found the series useful, thanks for the kind feedback. Sadly I don't currently own any Waldorf products, but I'll keep any eye for it in the sales. It's definitely a hole in my classic synth plugin collection
Great info..... you are unique, I never found such detailed and dry info anywhere else. It's like a manual with spoken text and moving graphics FCKNHLL !!!!
Thanks for the tutorials on this pretty complicated synth. Unfortunately you haven't yet touched the function, that I have most difficulties understanding, and which is also not touched in other presentations of the synth and not explained in the manual! What is the knob "vector position" exactly doing? It seems a lot of variations, but I don't understand the systematics in it, and for a while, I couldn't get back to the original sound. You helped me by describing, that you have to edit another performance, and then the the first one "defaults" itself. Not very logical! But I would really appreciate, if you made a video about the "vector position" knob and what it precisely does. Thanks for many good videos from you. 🙂
It's nothing special in itself - it's simply a mixer for controlling the relative volumes of the 4 Oscillator Output volumes. In one of the earlier videos in this series I create a preset with 4 different sounds, and you can hear each of them getting louder and quieter as you move the joystick around. Think of it like a 4-way mixer where the total volume of all 4 outputs always equals the same value. You can have 25/25/25/25 (i.e. joystick in the middle), or 100/0/0/0 (joystick touching 'A'), or any other combination that adds up to 100.

Thank you so much for these brillaint tutorials - I was lost with Wavestation unttil I stumbled across this treasure chest of knowledge.
You're very welcome, thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, Anthony. Comprehensive and knowledgeable as usual!
My pleasure, thanks!
Really helpful, thanks.
Loving your wavestation series!
Cool, thanks for the feedback :)
Such an awesome series! Thank you so much! Now I can use it!!!!
That's great to hear! Hope you enjoy the synth, it's worth the effort :)
