- My last jam for Jamuary 2022 is a Berlin School / Ambient piece on the Korg modwave synthesizer, using a custom arpeggiator-driven patch with four parts. I play the arpeggiators and do live sound design during the jam, with explanatory text overlays in the video. Its a lot of fun using the modwave as a multitimbral synth with the help of its amazingly powerful modulation matrix and motion sequencing capabilities.

Patch description:
Layer A Osc 1 Arp Melody and Bass
Layer A Osc 2 Arp Bass and Melody
Layer A Noise Light percussion
Layer B Osc 1 Arp Melody
Layer B Osc 2 Arp Melody
Each track's volume can be controlled independently using the four Mod Knobs, so I can fade each track in and out.
The oscillators on each layer share the arpeggiator, the filter and the effects.
The oscillator on each track has it's own amplitude envelope, using Osc 1 and Osc 2 envelopes.
Motion sequence lanes A-D modifies the notes played by the arpeggiator, adding silence/rests, holding notes, adding ratchets, adding glide, or shifting the notes up or down by an octave or a fifth.
So even though there are only two arpeggiators, one for each layer, each of the four tracks appears to have it's own unique rhythm and melody.
The ModWheel is used to set Filter Cutoff frequency for Layer B.
The KAOSS pad is used to modulate the Wavetable Position and Morph (Stretch) for Oscillator 1 on Layer B.
The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R-16 mixer/recorder and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on a Canon EOS M50 mk2 with the included EF-M 15-45mm lens. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 17.

Clearly you know this synth very well. You are creating beautiful soundscapes. Thanks for the voyage.
Thank you, Fred 😊. I’m happy you liked it.
From Wikipedia in year 3024:
Waveformer was a synth sequence god in the last century of the global antedeluvian synth culture.
Haha. I wish 😁. Glad you liked the jam 😊
I could listen to this all afternoon.
😊
Hypnotic and always changing sounds, brilliant work ! BRAVO !
Hey Olivier, hope you will upload a video from the Modwave soon !
I'm sure you would also do marvels with synth !
Music is one of the most beautiful things in life. ❤🎹🎵
Very nice track! 👍
Very nice sounds
This is simply great music, excellent post 😉
Thank you 😊😊😊
Another great jam my friend.
Great sounds 👍😍👍
Excellent
I’ve been in the fence so long with this one and you have me pushed so far towards just going for it now. Gonna have a think about this today. (I have a midi keyboard and virtual synths that can do this but not with the hands on knob fun. You know?)
As a lover of ambient and Berlin school, I found this synth to be my go-to. I regret that sticking to analog narrowed the choices of synths to buy. Thanks for posting! 👍👍👍
Great jam! It was a choice between the wavestate, modwave and opsix.I went with the opsix, but the modwave (especially with the kaoss pad) was very high on my list. If my local store had one in stock, I may have chosen that one instead. I love the modulation possibilities here, and it is wild how different the function and layout between the 3 korg units is!
Another wonderful and inspiring journey. I do like your style and your sounds. Great stuff!
Thanks, Greg 😀
For sure you are able to turn every synth into an ambient & arp soundscape. Nice job. I love your videos on the Korg Wavestate as well.
The ArpMaster! Awesome work Thomas - that ModWave looks way too complicated for me 🤣🤣
Haha 😂. It is deep, but I enjoy a challenge and like spending time figuring stuff out.
Merci ! Mais qu’est-ce çà fait rêver 😴 rêver 💭 rêver 🛌 ♥️💐
Vivement que j’ai le mien, je pense que cette semaine il sera sur la route pour me rejoindre !
Awesome stuff, reminded me of FTL soundtrack 👌
Fabulous...
Thanks. That’s a cool soundtrack 😀
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very Nice ! Please Share the preset plz ?
So nice.... is it part of the little korg's arp/seq capabilities all that you are explaining ? id' love to understand what going on in these intricate duo-melodies
Yeah, I use the arps and the motion sequences at the same time. Many of the techniques are the same as I use for the Wavestate. Some relevant Wavestate videos:

Hi, this patch is fantastic. Can you share it? Thanks
Any news on offering performance & patches for Modwave, like the ones you have done for wavestate?
Hello, is this one similar at all to the Wavestate? I noticed you mentioning layers with this as well.
