Introducing Korg Wavestate Module: all of the features of Wavestate Mk II in a compact 19" desktop/rackmount package. Like Wavestate Mk II, Wavestate Module provides an impressive 120 stereo voices of polyphony. The 4U rackmount enclosure has the same controls as the keyboard models, yet is easily transportable and fits neatly into any studio or desktop production system.
Wavestate Module is fully compatible with the sounds and samples of the original Wavestate, Wavestate Mk II, Wavestate SE and Wavestate native software as well as many excellent third-party libraries.
With the latest software updates, all models of Wavestate now support MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange. Hundreds of the original factory sounds have been updated to include polyphonic aftertouch modulation; channel aftertouch is supported as well.
Wavestate Module is cleverly designed for both desktop and rackmount use. The panel is redesigned to fit into a standard 19" rack width, and the rear jack panel is recessed to allow easy access to cables even with gear mounted directly above. With desktop setups, brackets offer a choice of panel angles: flatter for performing standing up or more upright for working while seated in your studio.
The original Wavestation gave each step of a wave sequence a duration, a sample and a pitch. 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?
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.
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!
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.
Bursting with knobs and controllers, Wavestate Module invites you to explore. 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.
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.
Looking for even more inspiration? A dedicated front panel button marked by a 'dice' icon generates new sounds via intelligent randomization. Randomize the entire sound or just a part of it, such as the filter, the Sample Lane or the effects. Use the results directly or as a jumping-off point for your own creations.
Wavestate Module's superb effects deliver production-ready sounds. Each layer has three dedicated effects; additionally, the Performance has a master reverb and parametric EQ. Along with standards such as compressors, EQs, choruses, flangers, phasers and stereo delays, you'll find distinctive processors such as Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, Multiband Mod Delay, and Overb (from Oasys), plus modeled effects including Vox guitar amps, Vox wah, multi-head tape echo and a collection of classic guitar pedals.
Add vintage character to your sounds with the aggressive MS-20 low pass or high pass filters, or the strong, sweet Polysix low pass. Shape and refine with a full collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject filters. Or step outside the box with Korg's unique Multi Filter, which creates modulatable blends of multiple modes simultaneously.
Totaling in the gigabytes, Wavestate Module's sample library is more than a thousand times larger than that of the original Wavestation. That's a lot of great-sounding raw material for Wave Sequences. There's a bank of samples from Plugin Guru, brand new samples from Korg and a selection from the Nautlius, Kronos and Krome libraries. Of course, Korg also provides all of Wavestation's samples (including all options) plus a huge library of Wavestation Wave Sequences. Play up to 96 stereo voices with pristine clarity using Korg's proprietary anti-aliasing sample playback technology.
Express yourself in your own unique voice. Import up to 4GB of your own multi-samples into Wavestate Module via the free Sample Builder application for macOS and Windows. Many third-party libraries are available, too! Use your samples in Wave Sequences or as single multi-samples, just like the factory multi-samples.
With all of that synthesis power, you might think Wavestate Module would play only one sound at a time. Not a chance! For even more rich and complex results, layer up to four Programs together in a Performance, each with their own effects and arpeggiator. The Vector Envelope and joystick mix the individual voices of the four layers and can also modulate any other parameters.
Set Lists offer effortless organization of your Wavestate Module Performances and deliver instant access at the gig or in rehearsal. Smooth Sound Transitions allow previously-played voices and effects to continue to ring out naturally, even once a new sound has been selected.
Balanced stereo outputs connect to any recording or monitoring system, and a stereo headphone output is provided for private playing or onstage cueing. 5-pin DIN MIDI jacks ensure connection to other MIDI-equipped instruments and audio gear. Wavestate Module supports class-compliant USB MIDI connections to Mac and Windows computers, and Wavestate Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder programs are available as free downloads from Korg.
The Editor/Librarian acts as a second front panel for Wavestate Module. Realtime display of modulated parameter values and Wave Sequences gives you instant feedback on your creations. Copy and paste sounds, envelopes, LFOs, filter settings and more. Dive deep into effects with access to all internal parameters and create your own effects presets.
Wavestate Module comes with a diverse variety of music software from Izotope including Ozone Elements, which lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI, Skoove, which will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, as well as software synths from Korg and other brands. In other words, the moment you get your hands on this synthesizer you'll have a variety of tools to help you take your music to the next level.
Owners of any version of the hardware Wavestate are eligible for a crossgrade license to Wavestate Native at a special price via a coupon code tied to the Wavestate hardware's unique ID. Using the hardware and software versions together, you can have the best of both worlds: a physical instrument that responds to your touch, and complete DAW integration.
Wavestate Native is the fully-compatible software counterpart to the hardware Wavestate Module synthesizer. Wavestate Native is available in VST3, AAX and standalone formats on both macOS and Windows, as well as AU on macOS. You can seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software. Produce in your DAW with Wavestate Native, and then play the same sounds on stage using the Wavestate Module hardware. Create sounds with the hardware's hands-on interface, and then share them with a computer-based collaborator. Plus, you can use any of the many third-party sound and sample libraries available for the hardware Wavestate Module.
