With the Korg Wavestate, Korg transfers its famous Wave Sequencing synthesis from the 1990-1994 built Wavestation into a new age! The wavestate is a 64-voice keyboard synthesizer with a velocity sensitive 37-key keyboard that includes the new Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis and is also easy to use.
The core of Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis is that duration, sample and pitch can be assigned to each step of a wave sequence. Timing, sequence, note duration, sequence values and further parameters are summarized under the term "lanes" and can be defined in more detail 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.
The performance-oriented operation of the Korg wavestate is noticeable through the numerous control elements, which are also characterized by only a few double assignments. All sound-relevant parameters are directly accessible, and selected parameters can be assigned to the eight white knobs as desired. Since the sound generation of the wavestate is composed of four layers, the perfect means to adjust their levels is the handy joystick. The large display contributes a lot to the optimal overview and handling.
In the wavestate, both are not neglected: twelve filter models have been implemented to meet every taste. Included 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 three effect blocks per layer, which offer various delay algorithms, modulation effects such as phaser or chorus, but also equalizer, compressor and special effects. The whole thing is rounded off by the higher-level reverb effect.
The Korg wavestate 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 several gigabytes of capacity also contributes to this. If there is a lack of inspiration or a new variant that you haven't thought of yet? Just press the cube button and the intelligent random function recomposes a part of the sound or the whole layer.
Korg WavestateExellent recreation AND new features ,deeper and EASY programming.The Rasbery powered KORG sounds very nice!Crisp and Fullrange frequency Spectrum audio from only 2 ports (L,R)+Phones out.The softwarte engineers made a lot of work to manage the creation of the sounds.You can import your own samples /or waveforms and proccessed via wavestates DSP engine.
Also usefull is the abillity to load unload programs and performances from your PC via USB into Wavestate via the Native Plug in version of the Wavestate!
The hardware controller is of a decent quality as it is ,but lacks the ''built like a tank'' KORG WAVESTATION quality.
At least they put a slice of aluminum in the working space area.The keyboard itself is rather basic quality,with out AT but the keys are velocity sensitive .
The overall quality is rather mediocre and not the one we all expected from big K (Prologue for example),but considering the overall joy from the WS and the small price ratio (less than 600 euros) IT IS HIGHLLY recomended by me.NOT A 1st Synth for sure (A lot of menu driven programming needed)
By me KORG WS is a winner a one more time!
Excellent carrier services by Musicstore as always!
(at 7 days delivered at my Studio doorstep in Athens!)
I beleieve i am lucky ,cos i manage to collect one of the last ones in Europe area .
All main dealers have it on request for several months now!
