- Mailing List

Wavestation mailing list: wavestation@cloudfactory.org

To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a mail to majordomo@cloudfactory.org with the body text of subscribe wavestation or unsubsribe wavestation. Please do not send subscription messages to the mailing list address, because everyone will get them, and become pretty annoyed. Currently the list seems to be pretty inactive.

- Patches

There are now many banks of Wavestation sounds around the net, including the factory sounds if you have lost them. Here are just some of the places to find them:

The Wavestation Patch Archive

The No.1 place for Wavestation patches on the net. My archive contains all the banks you'll find on the net, many of them with fixed bugs, in multipe formats, including all the WS and SR presets.

• Twilek's Sysex archive - all the Trading Post banks, plus some others.
• Trading Post archive - the first place on the net dedicated to collecting WS patches.
• Dan Phillips' archive - again, mostly a mirror of the Trading Post.

- The Mailing List Patch Archive

On the mailing list we had a little friendly competition, where list members would make a new Wavestation sound on a given monthly theme, and send it to me. I'd collate all the sounds into banks and the list would then vote on their favourite sound from that bank. Sadly, this didn't run for very long due to a lack of submissions. You can still get the resultant banks from some of the sites listed above. The old WS Patch Archive page is gone now, I'm afraid. :(

- Sysex & Patch Dumping Software

The following programs should let you load, save, send and receive sysex data to your synths. I don't use or particularly recommend any particular program, so you'll have to pick the one that works for you.

PC MIDI OXE Dumpster WinSysEx 2.0 WSysex SyxLibEd 3.0 SoundLib 1.01 WS Editor 6.0 WS Edit 1.c WS Editor 32 Atari Dump-It! 2.31
