Part 1: Sample Player/Sampler/Rompler (mainly focused on the Wusik Station V8)
I call it Part 1 cause I have not come further then to loose myself in this ocean of ready made sounds. So all the hundreds of modules and modulation possibilities are left for later and maybe a part 2 :-))).
Back to the simple use as a sampler. For the installation process and getting to the point where it sounds (presets in the browser) you have to take a little time and patience for downloading the additional sounds and copy them where they belong to (I just left evrything in the default directory). And you should read the (spare) information coming with the installation files. The quick guide for wusik 4000 still gives the really needed information from 4000 to wusik station V8.
Evrything is simple but maybe a little bit different as the whole thing is :-))). So for example you just have to understand the difference between a soundset and a preset but I am sure you will get it (faster then this old man writing this review here I am sure).
Then the fun begins: someone wrote somewhere (dont remeber where) "it is not Kontakt". NO, it is not, and as far as I am concerned thats why this thing is so wonderful. When you take your journey to the presets (the presets browser is one of the best I have seen so far, only downer: the scroll bar on the right is nearly invisible for me no matter which skin I take) you realize that they are on first level categorized by sounddesigners (dnekm, artvera) or special collections.
And thats the difference to something like Kontakt you really can hear: evry sound here is designed by SOMEONE who puts his heartblood in making THIS special sound. You might like it or not, but it is something special, not just polished common without ups and downs like Kontakt (and comparative). I have bought Kontakt long time ago mainly cause of the available free or very cheap libraries that had this something special, now it seems evrything I need from all this great libraries seems to be there in one place :-))).
Of course it depends on music taste and style, but for my part of the music universum (soundscapes, ambiences, athmospheres, natural and nice sounding things :-)) etc.) it was really like a manifestation.
For a short adjustment of the sound you have two tabs for master and fx, there you can adjust evrything you need for evry involved layer of the sound.
Just as a short hint: Wusik4000 and Wusik8000 goes more deeper into the modular building and modulating of sounds, but thats for (maybe) a part 2.
Thank you William for giving this to the world.

I started out using EVE and then started using Wusikstation when it became available. I still use EVE quite a bit live along with Wusikstation and other plug-ins.
The thing I like most about Wusikstation is the library of sounds already available. You can spend many hours auditioning them. However there are lots that I can't imagine anyone ever using. Overall, I can usually find a stock sound that is sufficient. I don't tweak them much so I don't use much of the powerful features.
My biggest gripe is that I have paid the membership for many years and have supported William throughout the whole time but have to ask to get the updates and new stuff. Then as part of the membership I am to receive all of the products available then come to find out that I could get the same thing in a group buy for a fraction of the cost of the membership. Just doesn't seem fair to those of us that have continued to support this work. Support is erratic. The group buys are a real value to those that partake so I would recommend them.

It's enjoyable to use. I like the interface design and I have been experimenting with mixing different waveforms. I have been saving my patches to a special folder.
Hopefully soon I will be able to mix an eight track song onto soundcloud, my intention would be to utilise 3 patches from Wusik Station.
It's quite powerful to use as there are quite a few parameters. I am currently working through each parameter to see how it affects the sounds and timbres coming out.
I like it. And Would recommend giving the beta version a runout.

Bought the Wusikstation V9 the other day. Is it possible to install it under OS X Yosemite? Installer says no.
After extracting the package and moving the vst3 files to the Audio -> Plugin Folder Cubase finds the VST but it there is an issue with the Engine / Skins Folder. It is a public folder, but Wusikstation does not seem to recognize the folder even after pointing to it. Any help?
Only saw this today, sorry for the delay. Be sure to download the Mac OS X files and not the Windows installer. On OS X you need to set the Wusik Engine Data folder with write permissions, you can google on how to do that on OS X. Also, OS X doesn't merge folders when you copy two with the same name, sadly, you need to do that manually.
Well designed. Deep yet easy to understand and navigate. Very Nice!.
