You can seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software.

wavestate native is available in VST3, AAX, and standalone formats on both macOS and Windows, as well as AU on macOS.

Now, Korg is proud to present wavestate native, the fully-compatible software counterpart to the hardware wavestate synthesizer. Far from a nostalgic reissue, the wavestate is designed from the ground up for a new generation of musicians, producers, and composers, taking cues from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition. Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control. In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate brought Wave Sequencing to the next level. 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. The four onboard arpeggiators can interact with Wave Sequences for even more possibilities. The result is organic, ever-changing sounds that respond to your control. Finally, individual steps can be randomly skipped, with a modulatable probability from 0 to 100%. Lanes can also randomize the step order every time they play, with realtime control over the range of included steps. Each note in a chord can be playing something different! You can modulate each Lane’s start, end, and loop points separately for every note, using velocity, LFOs, envelopes, Mod Knobs, or other controllers. For instance, a sample may be matched with a different duration, pitch, shape, gate length, and step sequence value every time that it plays. Each of these is a “Lane,” and each Lane can have a different number of steps and its own start, end, and loop points.Įvery time the sequence moves forward, the individual Lanes are combined to create the output.

Also added are new characteristics including shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values. Wave Sequencing 2.0 splits apart the timing, the sequence of samples, and the melody, so that each can be manipulated independently. What if they could evolve in organic, unexpected ways, instead of just repeating? This created ear-catching patterns–but the patterns repeated the same way, over and over. With the Wavestation, each step of a Wave Sequence had a duration, a sample, and a pitch.
