Extended polyphony, extended possibilities. </h1> <p><p style="text-align: left;">KORG’s legendary WAVESTATION introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds that no-one had ever heard before. The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards developed Wave Sequencing even further, expanding on its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms. <br /> <br />In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate brought Wave Sequencing to the next level. Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control. Far from a nostalgic reissue, the wavestate was designed from the ground up for a new generation of musicians, producers, and composers, taking cues from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition. <br /> <br />The wavestate also introduced another ground-breaking concept: wavestate native software (*sold separately, wavestate users can purchase at a discount) makes it available inside your DAW, with full compatibility and without compromise. It’s perfect for moving seamlessly between software and hardware workflows. <br /> <br />Now, KORG is proud to present the new wavestate mkII, with improved polyphony (96 stereo voices) and a fresh look.It’s completely compatible with sounds and samples for both the original wavestate, wavestate SE and wavestate native software, including many excellent third-party libraries. Updated sounds and software keep it fresh (and these are available for the original wavestate, too). The compact form-factor, with 37 full-size keys, still transports easily and fits neatly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup.</p></p> </div> <div class="image_slider"> <div class="lergeimg"> <ul class="slide_img_list"> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2F2da056286b44b1b782b168161abb9b11.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/2da056286b44b1b782b168161abb9b11_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2F82efb4f5a43e550b61bd402f6dc03f7c.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/82efb4f5a43e550b61bd402f6dc03f7c_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2Fd3ed389c27baa8901108340a997bc520.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/d3ed389c27baa8901108340a997bc520_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2F41dab1f7cf7f83e60d7eac0c309db079.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/41dab1f7cf7f83e60d7eac0c309db079_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2Ff85c2b3c80dc9451f38cfe4b36d43d99.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/f85c2b3c80dc9451f38cfe4b36d43d99_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section>   <section class="block type-n cv_charcoal pad_b80"> <div class="side-margin"> <div class="type_n_box"> <div class="video-container"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LrlvJSJLjtk?autohide=1&showinfo=0&wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" width="1280" height="720" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> </div> </div> </section>   <section class="block type-s cv_charcoal pad_b80"> <div class="side-margin"> <div class="container_s"> <div> <iframe allow="autoplay" frameborder="no" height="450" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/952226866&color=%23008000&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true" width="100%"></iframe> <div style="font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;"> <a href="https://soundcloud.com/korg" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="KORG">KORG</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/korg/sets/wavestate-demo" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="wavestate Demo">wavestate Demo</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </section>   <section class="block type-i cv_charcoal pad_b80"> <div class="side-margin"> <ul> <li>Wave Sequencing 2.0</li> <li>Extensive modulation with hands-on control</li> <li>Gigabytes of samples - and import up to 4GB of your own</li> <li>Modeled filters, including MS-20 and Polysix</li> <li>96 stereo voices</li> <li>4 Layers with Vector control</li> <li>14 simultaneous effects</li> <li>Set Lists and Smooth Sound Transitions</li> <li>Randomization</li> <li>Free Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder software for Mac and Windows</li> <li>Compact.

This created ear-catching repetitive patterns, giving rise to entirely new approaches to sound design. But what if the sounds could evolve in organic and unexpected ways, instead of just repeating? <br /> <br />Wave Sequencing 2.0 separates the timing, the sequence of samples, and the melody, so that each can be manipulated independently. It also adds 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. <br /> <br />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. Each note in a chord can even be playing something different! <br /> <br />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%. The result is organic, ever-changing sounds that respond to your control. The four onboard arpeggiators can interact with Wave Sequences for even more possibilities.</p></p> </div> <div class="image_slider"> <div class="lergeimg"> <ul class="slide_img_list"> <li> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="javascript:popupImgView('https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.korg.com%2Fuk%2Fproducts%2Fupload%2F5b623e46bd1467aa86e13457595b11fc.png');"><div class="slide_img_wrap canzoom"><img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/5b623e46bd1467aa86e13457595b11fc_pc.png" alt="" title=""></div></a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </section>   <section class="block type-o "> <p> <img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/98cde16b86aa543c973d0d19007a228b_pc.jpg" alt="" /></p> </section>   <section class="block type-e cv_charcoal pad_t80 pad_b80"> <div class="side-margin"> <div class="box_type_e"> <h2 class="header2">Easily expressive.

All of the basics–filter, envelopes, LFOs, effects–are at your fingertips with dedicated front-panel controls. Eight programmable Mod Knobs are customized to bring out the most in every sound, often taking them in entirely new directions. Use the knobs in realtime performance, and also save the results as new sounds. Add in the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels and the unique Vector Joystick, and you’ll always have multiple dimensions of realtime expression. <br><br> Want to dig deeper? Almost all front-panel knobs, and most on-screen parameters, can be modulated. You can even modulate settings for individual Wave Sequence steps! Mod Processors let you transform modulation signals using quantization, smoothing, curvature, and more. </p></p> </div> </div> </section>   <section class="block type-o "> <p> <img src="https://cdn.korg.com/uk/products/upload/6c149dd16430c72eefc4fa289e4698d6_pc.jpg" alt="" /></p> </section>   <section class="block type-h cv_charcoal pad_t80 pad_b50"> <div class="side-margin"> <div class="content_box_type_h"> <div class="box_type_h"> <h3 class="header3"><h2 class="header2" style="text-align: center;">Randomization that inspires.</h2></h3> <p>Looking for even more inspiration?
