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. Plus, you can use any of the many third-party sound and sample libraries available for the hardware wavestate. Create sounds with the hardware’s hands-on interface, and then share them with a computer-based collaborator. Produce in your DAW with wavestate native, and then play the same sounds onstage using the wavestate hardware. 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. And now - a native plug-in on Mac and Windows. Organic, inspirational, and mind-blowingly powerful. Legendary synthesis, radically re-imagined.
