Soundbank comments (as published by SSU on the Greytsounds website and in their 1992-93 catalogue):

This collection of sounds has been carefully designed to create mood and atmosphere. Its textures and effects are useful for all New Age, soundtrack and contemporary music applications. These sounds are unique to the capabilities of the Wavestation and cannot be obtained using any other technology. Sounds include "Indian Summer", "Glass Blower", "New Age Glass", "The Long Voyage", "Venus Pad" and more.

Performances comments (as published by SSU in their booklet joined with the ROM card):

00. Galaxis: slow, celestial pad, vocal and noise quality. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

01. Cool solo-ing: monophonic, accordion-like solo sound. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato.

02. Indian Summer: plucked, melodic instrument. MW controls vibrato. Pressure controls flanging effect. JS controls the waveform mix.

03. Angel Breath: ethereal, vocal and flute type pad. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato.

04. Daft: strange percussion-like. MW controls the filter. JS controls the waveform mix.

05. Glass Blower: monophonic flute-like solo sound with vibe attack. MW controls the filter. Pressure raises the pitch. JS controls the waveform mix.

06. Red October: noisy, underwater like drone. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. JS controls the waveform mix.

07. Cin-a-max 90: pad with lots of motion. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

08. Harmonics: simulates guitar harmonics. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato.

11. Android's Home: sci-fi type drone with lots of motion. MW controls the filter. JS controls the waveform mix.

12. Pleiades: pretty sound with slight percussive attack. Especially good for slow arpeggiated type melodies. MW controls the vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

13. Colonel Bleep: strange synth, cool for melodies or chords. MW controls vibrato to the point of weirdness. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

14. Meadow Lark: delicate, slightly percussive, melodic sound. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

15. Sun-Light Drive: pretty, plucky, and melodic. Nice for arpeggios. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

16. Dexicon 5: shimmering sci-fi sound. Can be used for melodies or single sustained chords. MW controls the filter. JS controls the waveform mix.

17. Glass Heaven: pretty and delicate. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

18. Wavestation Pad: rich harmonic pad. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

19. Save the Whales: split w/rich pad in lower and delicate, melodic sound in upper octaves. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

20. Grain Pad: nice pad that's a little on the dark side. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls vibrato. Pressure brings in slow waves of lower harmonics. JS controls the waveform mix.

21. Vox PressurePad: vocal type pad with slow pitch-skew on attack. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls vibrato. Pressure brings in upper harmonics. JS controls the waveform mix.

22. Slow Glass: pad with lots of sheen on top. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

23. Bouncing Ball: sounds like a ping-pong ball dropped on a table.

24. Fairlight Bass: interesting bass sound with percussive, high harmonics at inital attack. MW controls vibrato. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

25. AstroPressurPad: slow pad with almost sci-fi like qualities. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls filter. Pressure brings in some3 cool underwater stuff and high harmonics. JS controls the waveform mix.

26. Church Bells: just what it says. JS controls the waveform mix.

27. String Stab: string sound with agressive attack. Great for chord stabs, quick melodies. MW controls filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

28. Space Sailing: go tour the galaxy with this pad. MW controls filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

29. Dream's Essence: very ethereal. Timbre changes as note is held. MW controls filter. Pressure brings in slow amplitude modulation (tremolo). JS controls the waveform mix.

30. Breath Aahs: noisy vocal sound. Chords and melodies are equally cool with this one. MW controls the spectrum noise attack. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

43. 8-Bit Strings: dirty strings that bring us back a few years in affordable sampling technology. Nostalgic quality! MW controls the filter. Pressure controls vibrato. JS controls the waveform mix.

44. Wakeman & Howe: inspired by stuff on "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes. Wakeman plays chords on the lower half while Steve Howe does his volume-control-guitar melodies on upper half.
