Re: Transwaves and SLoop Modulation

2004-05-14 by pranaearth

Well I owned a wavestation and programed my own sounds for it. Let 
me tell you, the wavestation IS "spot on". IMHO, that is! lol. What 
is missing is the noise from the analog outputs. And the clean 
effects, no hissy reverb trails. I much prefer the soft synth to the 
hardware. Programing wavesequences on the softsynth is a dream come 
true! There is always of course XPhraze from Steinberg.
Happy music making,
Prana
