David Wise will be remembered for eternity. And to be honest i still think he is the greatest composer of all time. Directly followed by Akira Yamaoka, and Michiru Yamane. Making quality music for a game is something many can do. But to create something that is still important up to this day (28 years later!) that is something only a few would be able to do. The man is a legend who revolutionized music in games. He created music that could have potentially alienate an entire community. Nobody has the confidence to think outside of the box nowadays, which is why people like him can't be praised enough for what they have done to gaming.
it will never cease to blow my mind how you could make such amazing timeless tracks despite the limitations, always amazing to hear you absolute legend
I was on the fence on this synth for the whole year think you just sold me on this David. Thank you for your amazing work throughout your years with Rare. Your music made a huge impact on my life, not just my childhood. Still love the donkey Kong games and the soundtracks are a huge part of why I still go back to them.
Thank you Vincenzo, The Wavestate is a super-versatile synth. Easy to edit. Modulation options are great.The filters Rock ! And: There is 4gig of sample memory.
This could not have been more tailor made for me. The DKC trilogy soundtracks are my top favorites, and one of the selling points of a Wavestate for me was learning that its predecessor was uses for some of my favorite soundtracks. I've also been enjoying your video game inspired patch breakdowns. But having one by David Wise himself?! From a game I love on a synth I actually own? I'm over the moon here! Thank you, Korg and David. I hope you do more collaborations.
Mr. Wise's music has inspired me for almost as long as I can remember caring about video games, and is a huge part of my aesthetic to this day. Great to see this video!
One of the best video game soundtracks ever made. David Wise is you are a sacred monster! Thank you for stimulating my imagination with these atmospheres 🙏
So awesome! Also I hadn’t realized that a different shape would help with percussive wave sequences. I’ve also never really messed with trim on the sample lane. Great tips to try!
@@David3Wise Woah! I'm surprised, I didn't know you had an account. I'm subscribed now! I composed a suite piece in a Wavestation published here as "Nostalgic Computer". And yes, I am the Friki Obsoleto but in my music channel.
When i saw the video title and listened to the first minute, i was like, oh man I've always loved the tune but copyright infringement? Then david wise showed up, and i was like oh nvm lol
Hi, Awesome work ! Could you please share on which OS/version you are working with the Wavestate. I am not able to connect the editor or the librarian on Windows 11, Wavestate is upgraded to version 2.
Hello Mark. You should be able to download the software from Korg and update to the latest version. I think this is a free update. But, it's quite complicated, so follow the steps very carefully.
im just curious whether putting this patch together is possible without the software. i dont mind if its a lot menu diving, just as long as the software isnt a requirement.
@@David3Wise thank you David!! i actually ended up buying a wavestate haha and i followed your tutorial and made the patch. so much fun, thanks again. legend! PS: still wish you had your moon landing theory video up that the other commenter is talking about because i like what you're saying about it and wish i could hear your point of view
@@rios5315 Hey Rios Great to hear you’re enjoying the Korg Wavestate. It’s a great synth. This week I bought myself the Korg moDWave. Not only because it has my initials on it in capitals. But this is also an amazing synth too. I also have the VST’s of both. The great thing about hardware synths is that they still make a noise in a live situation. Even if your Laptop is incapacitated whilst having an operating system update forced upon it. As for the time it takes for low resolution radio signals travelling at the speed of light on a specified trajectory - Fortunately: The Korg OpSix synth utilizes FM radio signals within our range of hearing.
@@David3Wise haha funny you mention those two synths too... I have been tossing up between getting the Modwave or the Opsix as my next purchase. I like the idea of FM synthesis but also wavetable would be great to play with too. Maybe eventually I will have all three haha but for now I am focusing on my wavestate... I am blown away by how much more I learn about this thing everytime I power it up. how do you think it compares to the original wavestation? I actually have owned KORGs Wavestation VST for about 7 years now but nothing beats hardware synthesizers, even their VST counterparts. Being able to change parameters with a physical interface is unmatched. Sliding knobs and editing values with software - especially software that uses virtual 'knobs' - is too tedious. by the way, I recently did a presentation at Uni on the DKC OST and how you took inspiration from the Wavestation to put together the soundtrack. That was an amazing effort you put into those songs and I think I speak on behalf of a lot of people when I say thank you for them because they form some of my most strongest childhood memories and also one of my earliest loves for music & also the reason why myself and a lot of other people go back and play those games.
There is a VST for Wavestate, ( + Opsix and Modwave ) - I have both vst & hardware. Here - I'm using the hardware editor - but it is now possible to create in the VST and transfer over to the hardware.
Holy shit Korg has David fucking Wise.

Thank you Aphex - I just love playing with sound and it's the small details that make the difference.
David Wise is a absolutely genius. Today I play keyboards because of him initially.
I love David Wise's music so much!
Finally a patch of the week for Wavestate....I thought it would never happen!
Yahoo me tooo

DKC 1, 2, & 3 were some of my fav SNES games back then. What a treat to learn tracks for #1 were made with a wavestation. Thank you!
Actually tracks for all 3 SNES games used a Wavestation
This is gold. David Wise explaining how he made patches for my favorite game soundtrack ❤
Ayy!
Donkey Kong!
It’s about time we get VGM on this channel!
This is fascinating, thanks for putting this up! I think Aquatic Ambience is a favourite for most DKC fans. Fantastic games, great musical memories.
It's truly amazing to be able to see Sir David Wise work on Wavestate recreate this timeless classic. A dream come true, thanks so much for this!
The nostalgia is overwhelming! I love all your work David. Thank you!

David Wise's DKC and Battletoads music is the sole reason I got into sound design and composition. The man is a national treasure.
Mr. Wise's music has inspired me for almost as long as I can remember caring about video games, and is a huge part of my aesthetic to this day. Great to see this video!
This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.
If I am forced to hear this tune ONE MORE TIME...!
Joking of course, I tested various versions of this and Dave is a legend.
Thank you Gary. The testing department were always very stoic when it came to repeated listening of games. Heros !
One of the best video game soundtracks ever made. David Wise is you are a sacred monster! Thank you for stimulating my imagination with these atmospheres 🙏
You are too kind, but thank you.
YOOOOOOOO WTF ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAME OSTS AS A WAVESTATE PATCH IS SO POG
Real treat to get a demo of this instrument from such a legendary game composer. Thank you!
Do a series and call it _Donkey Korg_
This is true genius
Someone beat me to stumbling across this video and posting “Donkey Korg Country” as a reply *by two years*
Well played
This one of the few scenarios where you see a riser played with smooth ambience and not getting irritating or repetitive
So awesome! Also I hadn’t realized that a different shape would help with percussive wave sequences. I’ve also never really messed with trim on the sample lane. Great tips to try!
this is the best thing I seen today
Loved this step by step vid of this performance. So cool. Great learning tool. Nicely done. THANKS!
Thank you
David Wise is a genius
I can’t imagine how I would’ve felt if I created this in the 90’s. I would’ve ascended into the heavens
Absolute legend
Oooooh por deuuxx David wisee 😱😱😱
Eu amo esse cara
Love this man
Thank you so much for your beautiful music, MR Wise ♥
Thank you Caio Cesar Headbanger
niiiice!!!! next do Hothead Bop or Brambles from DKC2 plzzzzzzzz
this is so cool
David is the closest man to God in the world.
Thank you, I assure you I'm not, but appreciate the compliment.
My hero!!!!
More Wavestate videos with David Wise please!
Thank you Friki, there are more on the way, including Sticker Bush Filter Effects: th-cam.com/video/umf0UCgrzgU/w-d-xo.html

Still hoping to see the Wavestate SE released one day
Timeless
When i saw the video title and listened to the first minute, i was like, oh man I've always loved the tune but copyright infringement? Then david wise showed up, and i was like oh nvm lol
its a pity, that the main melody is missing
AMAZING - Encore please but Go for a Vangelis track !!!
Great!!! And endless funny 😎😍😎
Donkey Kong December
Hi, Awesome work !
Could you please share on which OS/version you are working with the Wavestate. I am not able to connect the editor or the librarian on Windows 11, Wavestate is upgraded to version 2.
I'm on Windows 10. 11 is not fully supported yet by all audio software / video providers. I'm sure this will change imminently.
Those chords tho...
I have a question...I just bought a used Wave State, where do I purchase the software that David is using here?
Hello Mark. You should be able to download the software from Korg and update to the latest version. I think this is a free update. But, it's quite complicated, so follow the steps very carefully.
More patches for Prologue please
im just curious whether putting this patch together is possible without the software. i dont mind if its a lot menu diving, just as long as the software isnt a requirement.
It is possible without the software editor. Easier with it.
@@David3Wise thank you David!! i actually ended up buying a wavestate haha and i followed your tutorial and made the patch. so much fun, thanks again. legend!
