Subject: M1 PCM cards
From: "Mike Perkowitz"
To: "WaveStation"
Yesterday i got three M1 PCM card sets: percussion, environments, and
sound effects. I've also had one of the M1 synth cards (synth 2 i think)
for a while. All the waves on all the cards work fine in my Wavestation
(though I seem to recall audible clicking on one or two of the waves).
These cards are nice, but they aren't going to blow anyone away. I haven't
found the synth card much use at all, but the new ones have a lot of
possibilities -- especially weird percussion noises and looped sound
effects pitched down way low. They're worth the $20-$30 you can get them
for if you look hard enough; I'd say not much more.
I'd be willing to believe the genuine Wavestation cards would be more
satisfying, perhaps being more geared to WS uses (I'd love to find the
synth/timeslices card).
The M1 PCM card sets also come with ROM cards of patches, which are
utterly useless to us. I wouldnt mind finding a source for WS RAM cards..
anyone know of a place that still has a few sitting around at rockbottom
prices?
