Make Waves with Even More Motion!
Korg debuted its original wavestate synth to widespread acclaim, garnering accolades for its ability to build on the company’s legendary 1990 Wavestation synth while introducing cutting-edge, real-time sample manipulation and synthesis tools. With the wavestate MKII, you can traverse even greater artistic vistas. Combining elements of subtractive synthesis, groove boxes, drum machines, and algorithmic composition, Korg’s wavestate MKII offers sonic capabilities you won’t find anywhere else. Presets can be saved as a Set List for fast recall, and Smooth Sound Transitions that allow a sound to finish ringing out even after you’ve changed patches. Synthesists are elated by the welcome additions that accompany the wavestate MKII. These include an increase of the polyphony from 64 to 96 voices, 15 new performances, 43 more presets, and a comprehensive update to each of the 246 Performance choices, as well as more than half of the other presets onboard.
