Finally, individual steps can be randomly skipped, with a modulatable probability from 0 to 100%.Īll of the basics–filter, envelopes, LFOs, effects–are at your fingertips with dedicated front-panel controls. Each note in a chord can be playing something different! Lanes can also randomize the step order every time they play, with realtime control over the range of included steps.

You can modulate each Lane’s start, end, and loop points separately for every note, using velocity, LFOs, envelopes, Mod Knobs, or other controllers. For instance, a sample may be matched with a different duration, pitch, shape, gate length, and step sequence value every time that it plays. Each of these is a “Lane,” and each Lane can have a different number of steps and its own start, end, and loop points.Įvery time the sequence moves forward, the individual Lanes are combined to create the output. Also added are new characteristics including shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values.

What if they could evolve in organic, unexpected ways, instead of just repeating? Wave Sequencing 2.0 splits apart the timing, the sequence of samples, and the melody, so that each can be manipulated independently. This created ear-catching patterns–but the patterns repeated the same way, over and over. With the Wavestation, each step of a Wave Sequence had a duration, a sample, and a pitch. Far from a nostalgic reissue, the wavestate is 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. Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control.

Now, KORG is proud to announce the next step in digital synthesis: the wavestate.

The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards developed Wave Sequencing even further, expanding on its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms. KORG’s legendary Wavestation introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds that no-one had ever heard before.
