Korg Wavestate

wave sequencing synthesizer (2020)

Korg

" Re-imagined and updated version of classic digital Korg wavestation who made history of famous wave sequences table"

Overview 

KEYBOARD compact 37 keys (velocity and release-velocity sensitive).
Eight programmable Mod Knobs for realtime performance, and also save the results as new sounds. On the left side Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels and the iconic Vector Joystick from previous WS.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS  
Headphone (6.3 mm stereo phone jack)
OUTPUT L/MONO and R (impedance-balanced 6.3 mm TRS phone jacks)  
DAMPER (6.3 mm phone jack)  
MIDI IN and OUT connectors  
USB B port

SOUND up to 64 notes polyphony, 240 Performances, 740 Programs  and 1000 Wave Sequences.
Original wavetable is included with a lot of  new samples  and a selection from the Kronos and Krome libraries. 

WAVESEQUENCE feature is inspired from the PPG Waveshaping process: a succession of waveforms read in a special way aimed to create animated textures or rhythmic patterns sequences. Step of a Wave Sequence had a duration, a sample, and a pitch. The sequence of samples, and the melody, so that each can be manipulated independently. Also added are new characteristics including shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values. Each of these is a “Lane,” and each Lane can have a different number of steps and its own start, end, and loop points. Every time the sequence moves forward, the individual Lanes are combined to create the output. For instance, a sample may be matched with a different duration, pitch, shape, gate length, and step sequence value every time that it plays. You can modulate each Lane’s start, end, and loop points separately for every note, using velocity, LFOs, envelopes, Mod Knobs, or other controllers Lanes can also randomize the step order every time they play, with realtime control over the range of included steps. Finally, individual steps can be randomly skipped, with a modulatable probability from 0 to 100%

Filter and Effects

FILTER digital multimode filter resonant 2-pole and 4-pole Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass, and Band Reject filters +  includes vintage MS-20 Lowpass or Highpass filters/ Polysix Lowpass. 

EFFECTS  Each Layer has three dedicated effects; additionally, the Performance has a master reverb and parametric EQ. Along with standards such as compressors, EQs, choruses, flangers, phasers, and stereo delays, you’ll find distinctive processors such as the Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, Multiband Mod Delay, and Overb (derived from the OASYS), plus modeled effects including VOX guitar amps, VOX wah, multi-head tape echo, and a collection of classic guitar pedals.
