Now, KORG is proud to announce the next step in digital synthesis: the wavestate. The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards developed Wave Sequencing even further, expanding on its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms. KORG’s legendary Wavestation introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds that no-one had ever heard before. There are eight assignable knobs per-program, plus a bank of global Performance assignments (although as all of these share a single bank of eight knobs, it can get a little confusing in the heat of a performance).įor live use, spend some time considering the best way to set these up in order to get quick access to parameters that will help add movement or build tension in your performance.Legendary Synthesis, Radically Re-imagined There are multiple playback directions available to users, including sequence randomisation, and the Key Trigger mode allows for sequences to be transposed across the whole keyboard spread.ĭespite being labelled with things like ‘time’ and ‘shape’, Wavestate’s Mod Knobs actually offer incredible flexibility over how they can be set up.
Wavestate’s Setlist features lets users store and sequence up to 64 performances, which are full multitimbral patches complete with Wavesequences, arp patterns, Vector synthesis configurations and master effects - incredibly handy for planning and recalling sounds for a live set!ĭon’t be fooled by the simplistic look of Opsix’s sequencer, it has six note lanes, for polyphonic sequencing with individual velocity gate length for each note, plus six Motion Sequencing lanes for parameter automation. Opsix, meanwhile, features a handy sequencer which can easily be set up to play back pre-programmed riffs, basslines or chord progressions. With Wavestate, the complex Wavesequencing setup can effectively create long, evolving soundscapes that can be triggered by holding down a single note or chord - allowing you to get hands-on with the Mod Knob controllers. For electronic performances, both Opsix and Wavestate can be synced to an incoming MIDI clock, so users can trigger them in a slightly more ‘hands-off’ manner.
