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. The compact form-factor, with 37 full-size keys, transports easily and fits neatly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup. Featuring the radically re- imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control.įar 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. 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.

If you want, you can create completely different patterns for each time the pattern runs through, which running at 1/16 per step is 16 bars perfect for chord progressions.īe creative and remember that limitations don't need to be shackles. The KSP is actually a different beast again, with the way it can play a variation of the pattern for each round up to four round. Now I realise how ridiculous it sounds to have notes that sound for an entire bar (of 4/4 timing) but it actually isn't that silly, especially if you are running chords.

Crotchets (quarter-notes), make 64 steps run for a length of 16 bars and if you are going to use steps the length of a breathe (1/1, achievable by running the sequencer on a clock signal at a quarter speed of the actual BPM you are working in), you get a maximum pattern length of 64 bars! Running at 16ths, then yes 4 bars is the length, but running on semiquavers (8ths) your pattern is 8 bars. Depending on what timing division you use, you can make longer patterns.
