  • Introducing Korg's Wavestate: a 21st-century reimagining of the classic 1990s Wavestation concept. This video explores some of the many sounds it can produce, from huge cinematic pads to intricately-composed, layered rhythmic sequences. For more about the Wavestate's methods and inspirations, check out our blog Signal: www.perfectcircuit.com/signal...
    Based on wave sequencing and vector synthesis, the Wavestate provides nearly endless options for creating lush, evolving soundscapes. Like the Wavestation series before it, it relies on Wave Sequencing to allow users to create everything from smooth timbral transitions to jarring, abrupt sonic changes using a huge range of PCM waves. By using four Wave Sequencing-capable oscillators at the corners of a Vector Synthesis diamond configuration, the Wavestate enables continuous transitions between independently-unfolding wave sequences...meaning that entirely separate sonic worlds can collide and blend at the flick of a joystick.

      It only has 3 octaves so KORG can make it cheaply. No manual is supplied cause Korg says they are saving trees but how many trees does it take for everyone to print a manual. Their RAM sounds can only be saved in a compatible computer as long as Korg decides to keep supporting the synth with updated software. Korg no longer supplies parts and as you know, there is something in every one of their synths that is critical but fails. For example, the floppy drives in ALL their X3s and the screens in ALL their Z1s. Replacements are not available and have to take your chances on the Internet. Their recommended replacement parts from Parts is Parts are only available for a very short time.

      @Analog Parasite TV Well there are a few things this has the edge on...being able to do rompler and cinematic style sounds is pretty cool, I like the 90's synth engine (although not as much as the more contemporary wavetable engine of the Hydrasynth)...also the 4-part multitimbrality and sequencer onboard is a major advantage compared to the Hydrasynth.
      That being said, I'm not gonna cancel my Hydra because a lot of the Wavestate capabilities can be emulated with VST's, and I already have a few samplers, and I'm trying to start using software more in my setup for sampling as I migrate to DAW work...Hydrasynth's layout is also much better and less convoluted than this.
      But I don't think one is necessarily better than the other, just depends on what features and sounds are more important to have in hardware form
