Korg Wavestate Module Wave Sequencing Synthesizer CONTROLLER RIG

MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and Polyphonic Aftertouch support

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.

Easily expressive, exceptionally deep

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.

An arsenal of effects

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.

Gigabytes of samples, 96 stereo voices

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.

Multiply by four

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.

Plays well with others

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.

Free bundle of music software

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.

Wavestate Native

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.
