I think Microsoft and Korg got on the same page recently (so that I could probably use the current Windows version), but I’ll try the 1607 laptop first. This evening I’ll see whether the editor and updater get along with Windows 10 1607. Dan wasn’t kidding!Īnyway, I wasn’t kidding either, and things happened quickly, and I’m really enjoying my initial impressions of the Wavestate so far. Welp, as of the 2.0 update, it seems like all of my outstanding issues (personal deal-breakers) with the Wavestate finally have been resolved*. Dan Phillips (on another forum) said that they were doing that, and I said okay great, sure.

If you need a touch of inspiration, it's a button press away with this incredible compact synth.Ha ha, for the past year and a half, I said the Wavestate seems like the perfect fit for me, but with the only window into the sample selection and big picture being that tiny screen and encoder, and with no facility for user samples (unlike the Kronos wavesequencing), and some other deal-breakers (for me), I said I wouldn’t buy one until they fixed all of those aspects. There's even a unique randomization option which takes existing sounds and creates something totally new. It's all laid out in a busy but well-designed panel, so that you can manipulate sounds in real-time for live performance. Returning to the nuts and bolts of the synthesizer, the Korg Wavestate comes with 37 velocity-sensitive keys along with filters, 4-part polyphony, envelopes, special effects and LFOs. Add exotic timings, create intricate interplays of tones, and let your imagination run riot.ĭesigned for accessible musical production With the Wave Sequencing 2.0 tool at your fingertips, you can warp samples however you like. The 16-step sequencer is a core part of the Wavestate package. You can use the wave sequencing tools to create ambient soundscapes, craft evocative soundtracks, or just apply beats to vocal tracks.ĭoes the Korg Wavestate have a sequencer? With its many presets, it summons up the spirit of the original Wavestate, which caught the zeitgeist of the 1990s. Instead, it's a little bundle of creativity. The Wavestate isn't the most powerful synth around. You can feed off its beats, test out weird distortions, or stick to pure piano tones. With its classic looks and a wealth of quirky and timeless sounds, the Korg Wavestate is a great tool for musicians in all genres.
