And there also still feels like it has room to breathe. There is *a lot* to read - but it still seems short and snappy. The ad ran off and on between August 1991 and November 1991 in Keyboard Magazine, and only seems to have appeared once in Electronic Musician in August.Ī shame too, because I really like this ad. Either way, Korg didn't push the EX and A/D as much as the original Wavestation. Or maybe it was just the fact that the Wavestation was so different from other synths that it was selling itself at this point.

I suggested that they were referring to the new EX version of the keyboard, and sure enough, a month later Korg came out with a new ad that promoted both the Wavestation EX AND the Wavestation A/D.īut Korg seemed to be running out of steam with the Wavestation brand in terms of advertising. :)Īnyways, you will remember that the last time the Jan Hammer 'Portraits' ad ran, it included a small band of text that referenced the fact that the original Wavestation now had expanded memory and more sounds.

I equate 'Electronic Musician' more with computers, and as I write quickly, I'll often flip back and forth between the two names. This may be why you will often read 'Computer Musician', when in fact I'm referring to the magazine 'Electronic Musician'. And even when I correct myself, its like I'm reinforcing the wrong name, not the right one.

Once I start using the wrong name for something, I can't shake it. Korg Wavestation EX and A/D 'Top 10 reasons' 1-page advertisement from page 1 in Keyboard Magazine and page 23 in Electronic Musician August 1991.
