Korg Wavestate MKII
Product information "Korg Wavestate MKII"
With its unique Wave Sequencing 2.0 sound generation, the Wavestate MK II from Korg stands for rich, complex and constantly changing soundscapes, which can also be further modulated in real time in a wide variety of ways.
This is made possible by its special architecture with sequences of individual samples that can be modulated per step in several parameters such as pitch, length, tempo, filter and effect settings etc. both manually and automatically.
For this purpose, the Wavestate MK II offers eight dedicated mod controls, which can be assigned a wide variety of functions based on the programme, as well as a comprehensive modulation matrix with over 1,000 potential modulation destinations (depending on the length of the wave sequence).
The so-called "lanes" (tracks) can be used to create complex automations of individual wave sequence parameters that run independently of each other and can therefore differ from each other in terms of their direction, speed, loop mode, etc. The result is incredibly complex sound structures.
The result is incredibly complex soundscapes, rhythmic structures and slowly changing pad sounds that never seem to repeat themselves. The sequences created in this way can also be further processed with a variety of different filter types and high-quality effects.
If that's not enough complexity for you, you can combine up to four of these complete sound programmes and mix them using the vector joystick. Thanks to its extended polyphony of 96 stereo voices, even extensive sound experiments are no obstacle for the Wavestate MK II.
And if the synth's several gigabytes of samples are not enough for you, you can even load up to 4 gigabytes of your own samples into it to use either as standard multisamples or as the basis for new wavesequences.

The Japanese company Korg INC is one of the most renowned manufacturers of our time when it comes to electronic musical instruments and accessories. Among musicians the company is often simply referred to as Korg. The company was founded on 28 August 1963 by Tsutomu Kato and Tadashi Osanai. The nearly 300 employees at Korg INC are mainly engaged in the manufacture and marketing of synthesizers and samplers, drum machines and sound modules, keyboards and electric pianos, but also USB controllers, electronic drums as well as handy little helpers for guitarists. Worth mentioning here are clip tuners (Pitch-Clip), tuners (CA-50, GA-50, Pitchblack) and metronomes (MA-2) as well as guitar and bass effects.
