Korg Wave Sequencing 2.0 – Sounds That Are Always Moving

One of the most distinctive features of the Wavestate MkII is Korg's Wave Sequencing 2.0 technology.

Unlike a conventional synthesiser that simply plays back a single sample or waveform, Wave Sequencing allows different samples and sound elements to be arranged into sequences. These can evolve and change over time, producing sounds that move, develop and transform as you play.

This makes the Wavestate particularly well suited to creating atmospheric pads, evolving textures, rhythmic patterns, unusual sound effects and complex electronic sounds.

You can experiment with different sample selections, timing, pitch, duration and modulation to create sounds that are constantly changing. Individual steps can be manipulated and modulated, opening up a huge range of possibilities for sound design.

For composers and producers, this is an excellent tool for creating distinctive sounds that help a track stand out. For keyboard players, it offers an inspiring alternative to more conventional synthesiser sounds.

Four Layers – Build Bigger, Richer Sounds

The Wavestate MkII is built around a four-layer Performance structure.

Each Performance can contain up to four individual Layers, allowing you to combine different sounds and create much more complex results than a single Program alone.

Each Layer has its own Program, arpeggiator, key and velocity zones, as well as dedicated effects processing.

You could combine atmospheric pads with rhythmic sequences, add a contrasting sound layer or create a rich evolving texture that changes as you play.

The Vector Joystick and Vector Envelope allow you to control the balance between the four Layers. Moving the joystick can blend the sounds together in real time, giving you an expressive way to change the character of a Performance while playing.

This makes the Wavestate MkII particularly interesting for live musicians who want to move beyond static sounds.

96 Stereo Voices of Polyphony

The MkII version offers an important improvement over the original Wavestate, increasing the maximum polyphony to 96 stereo voices.

This gives the instrument greater capacity when working with complex sounds, layered Performances and evolving sequences.

The increased polyphony is especially useful when combining several Layers or playing sounds that contain long releases and overlapping notes.

It helps the Wavestate MkII handle demanding arrangements while retaining the depth and detail of its stereo sound engine.

Extensive Sound Library

The Wavestate MkII comes with a substantial collection of factory sounds and sequences, giving you plenty to explore straight away.

The factory sound library includes:

• 261 Performances

• 799 Programs

• 1,042 Wave Sequences

A Performance can combine up to four Programs, allowing you to create complex sounds from the individual building blocks.

The sound library draws on samples from a variety of Korg instruments and includes material associated with the original Wavestation, as well as sounds from Korg's Kronos, Nautilus and Krome libraries.

There is a huge variety of material to explore, from traditional keyboard-style sounds to atmospheric textures, cinematic effects, rhythmic patterns and experimental electronic sounds.

Import Your Own Samples – Up to 4GB of User Sample Storage

Another major advantage of the Wavestate MkII is the ability to import your own multisamples.

Using Korg's free Sample Builder software for Mac and Windows, you can import up to 4GB of your own samples into the instrument.

These samples can be used within Wave Sequences or as individual multisamples, giving you the opportunity to build a more personalised sound library.

This is particularly useful for producers and sound designers who want to work with their own recordings, create unusual textures or expand beyond the supplied factory sounds.

The Wavestate MkII is also compatible with sounds and samples created for the original Wavestate, Wavestate SE and Wavestate native software, providing access to a wider selection of compatible sound libraries.

Hands-On Sound Design and Modulation

Although the Wavestate MkII offers considerable depth, Korg has provided a range of physical controls to make sound shaping more immediate.

The front panel includes dedicated controls for important synthesiser parameters such as filters, envelopes, LFOs and effects.

There are also eight programmable Mod Knobs, which can be assigned to different parameters within a sound. These allow you to make expressive changes while playing, without having to navigate through menus for every adjustment.

The Vector Joystick adds another dimension of control, allowing you to blend the four Layers and influence other assigned parameters.

The modulation system is particularly powerful. Envelopes, LFOs, velocity, keyboard tracking, the Vector Envelope, step sequencer lanes and MIDI control messages can all be used to influence different aspects of a sound.

Korg also provides Mod Processors, which can transform modulation signals using functions such as smoothing, quantisation and curvature.

For anyone interested in programming their own sounds, the possibilities are extensive.

Classic Korg Filter Character

The Wavestate MkII includes a selection of filters inspired by some of Korg's best-known instruments.

These include:

• MS-20 Lowpass filter

• MS-20 Highpass filter

• Polysix Lowpass filter

• Two-pole Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Band Reject filters

• Four-pole Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Band Reject filters

• Multi Filter

The MS-20 filters offer a more aggressive character, while the Polysix filter provides a different, warmer style of sound shaping.

The Multi Filter allows combinations of different filter modes to be blended and modulated, offering even more scope for experimentation.

Professional Effects Processing

The Wavestate MkII includes a substantial collection of effects, with dedicated processing available within each Layer and additional master effects.

These effects are useful for adding depth, movement, character and polish to your sounds.

The effects include:

Pre Effects

• Decimator

• Graphic EQ

• Guitar Amp

• Modern Compressor

• Parametric EQ

• Red Compressor

• Ring Modulator

• Tremolo

• Wave Shaper

Modulation Effects

• Black Chorus/Flanger

• Black Phase

• CX-3 Vibrato Chorus

• EP Chorus

• Harmonic Chorus

• Modern Chorus

• Modern Phaser

• Orange Phase

• Polysix Ensemble

• Small Phase

• Talking Modulator

• Vintage Chorus

• Vintage Flanger

• Vintage/Custom Wah

• Vox Wah

Delay Effects

• L/C/R Delay

• Multiband Mod Delay

• Reverse Delay

• Stereo/Cross Delay

• Tape Echo

Master Effects

• Early Reflections Reverb

• Overb effect

• Four-band parametric Performance EQ

There is plenty here for musicians who enjoy creating their own sounds, from subtle finishing touches to more dramatic and experimental effects.

Designed for Live Performance

Although the Wavestate MkII is an excellent studio sound-design instrument, it has also been designed with live performance in mind.

Set Lists allow you to organise Performances so that you can quickly access the sounds you need during a rehearsal or performance.

Smooth Sound Transitions allow previously played notes and effects to continue naturally when you select a new sound. This helps avoid abrupt interruptions when changing between Performances.

The Vector Joystick and programmable Mod Knobs also provide useful real-time controls, allowing you to change the character of your sound as you play.

With its compact size and weight of just 2.9kg, the Wavestate MkII is easy to transport, particularly with the additional padded carry case included with this example.

Connections and Compatibility

The Wavestate MkII can be integrated into a range of keyboard, studio and computer-based music setups.

Its connections include:

• Stereo audio outputs: Left/Mono and Right

• 6.3mm stereo headphone output

• MIDI In

• MIDI Out

• USB Type-B connection

• Damper pedal input

The balanced stereo outputs allow connection to a mixer, audio interface, keyboard amplifier or studio monitoring system.

The headphone output is useful for private practice, sound programming and checking your sounds without needing to connect external speakers.

Traditional MIDI connections allow the Wavestate MkII to communicate with other MIDI-equipped instruments and equipment. USB MIDI provides an additional way to connect to compatible Mac and Windows computers.

Korg also provides free Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder software for Mac and Windows, allowing you to manage sounds, explore parameters and work with your own samples.
