The sound generation of the wavestate SE

The core of the Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis is that duration, sample and pitch can be assigned to each step of a wavesequence. Timing, sequence, note duration, sequence values and further parameters are summarized under the term "lanes" and can be further defined with loop positions, number of steps and insert point. In interaction with the four envelopes, three LFOs, velocity, modulation wheel and other sources, a complex sound construct is created that cannot be compared with any other synthesizer at present. Within the sequences there is also the possibility to insert coincidences or to modulate the steps from 0-100 percent with probability.

Filters and effects

In the wavestate SE both are not neglected: twelve filter models have been implemented to meet every taste. Among them are the Korg classics MS-20 Lowpass and MS-20 Highpass which are much more biting in sound and the powerful, round Polysix filter. There are four effect blocks per layer, which provide various Delay and Reverb algorithms, modulation effects such as Phaser or chorus, but also parametric equalizer, compressor and special effects (Pre FX).

Fluid operation

The performance-oriented operation of the wavestate SE is noticeable through the numerous control elements, which are also characterized by only a few double assignments. All sound-relevant parameters are directly accessible, selected parameters can be assigned to the eight white knobs as desired. Since the sound generation of the wavestate SE consists of four layers, the perfect means to adjust their levels is the handy Vector joystick. The large Display contributes a lot to the optimal overview and handling.

Sounds for eternity

The wavestate SE is an Eldorado for sound tinkerers. Modulations and variations of what one might rather expect from a well-equipped modular system enliven the sound of this synthesizer in an amazing way. The bulging sample memory with a capacity of four gigabytes also contributes to this. If there is a lack of inspiration or if you want a new variant that you haven't thought of yet? Just press the cube button and the intelligent random function will recompose a part of the sound or even the whole layer.
