Korg Wavestate Tutorial Ratcheting / Berlin School

This is a tutorial on how to create a Ratcheting effect on the Korg Wavestate. Ratcheting means retriggering a note or a step in a sequence multiple times. You could also call it note repeat. It is frequently used in the Berlin School type of electronic music.

We can use the Mod processor to multiply the output from the Amp LFO with the value of each step in the step wavesequence. Mod Processor 1 Type: Scale Input: Amp LFO Scale Src: Step Seq Lane And then we set the Amp and Filter envelopes to be triggered by the output from Mod Processor 1. Filter Envelope: Trigger Src: Mod Process 1 Trigger Threshold 100% Amp Envelope: Trigger Src: Mod Process 1 Trigger Threshold 100% Step Seq Lane: 16 steps Value 0% on most steps Step A2, Value: 1% (can be any value over 0%) You can add a probability here, if you like Turn on Note Advance Step seq loop A1:A16 We'd like to be able to set the number of note repeats. We can use the step sequence for that as well, if we set up a modulation so that step sequence value modulates the Amp LFO Speed (note subdivision) Amp LFO (ratcheting) Freq: 8th note Add modulation: Amp LFO Note Source Step Seq Lane Intensity: -8 Step Seq Lane: Step A2, Value: 75% (4 notes) Step A6: Value: 33% (2 notes) The rest of the steps: Value 0% ModFX Type: Small Phase Preset: Small Phaser Color Wet/Dry: 16:84 Reverb: Type: Overb Preset: Ultima Vega Star Wet/Dry: 14:86 Sample Lane 16 steps (add 14) Enter + Step to solo the stem Step A1: MS: Wave: Saw Step A2: MS: Wave: Saw (Not too much variation at first) Step A3: MS: Wave: Saw Chroma Step A4: MS: Wave: Saw + Square EXP Step A5: MS: Wave: Square, Oct +1, Trim -5.8 dB Step A6: MS: Wave: Wobble Wave Step A7: MS: Wave_WS: VS119 Step A8: MS: Wave_Guru: Pianoish Step A9: MS: Wave_Guru: Organish 2 Step A10: MS: Wave_WS: 13_01 Step A11: MS: Wave_WS: 13_13 Step A12: MS: Wave_WS: 13_09 Step A13: MS: Wave_WS: Krypton Step A14: MS: Wave_WS: OBTRESN Step A15: MS: Wave_WS: 13_59 Step A16: MS: Wave_WS: VS118 Enter + Step to disable soloing Note advance Sample seq Loop Start: A1, Loop End: A16. Control the decay times for the Amplitude envelope and the Filter envelope with a performance knob. Modulation: Filter Env Decay Time Source: Master PrfKnob Intensity: x4.257 Modulation: Amp Env Decay Time Source: Master PrfKnob Intensity: x4.257 Modulation: Amp Env Sustain Level Source: Master PrfKnob Intensity: 70 Delay Type: Stereo/Cross Delay Preset: 1/8 dotted LPF Wet/Dry: 39:61 Feedback: 48 Timbre: -25 Let the Pitch LFO modulate the Decays of the Filter and Amplitude Envelopes Pitch LFO (modulates Filter and Amp Envelope Decay) Freq: 0.070 Hz Waveform: EXP TRI Sync Notes: On Intensity: 0 Modulation: Amp Env Decay Time Source: Pitch LFO Intensity: x2 Modulation: Filter Env Decay Time Source: Pitch LFO Intensity: x2 Modulation: Amp Env Sustain Level Source: Pitch LFO Intensity: 70 Use the Filter LFO to modulate filter cutoff. Filter LFO: Freq: 0.064 Hz Waveform: Triangle Intensity: 8 Sync Notes: On Use the Pan LFO to modulate panning. Pan LFO Freq: 0.215 Hz Waveform: Triangle Intensity: +31% Sync Notes The audio is recorded to SD card on a Zoom R16 and normalized in Audacity. Video is recorded on iPhoneX. Audio and video is synchronized in DaVinci Resolve 15.
