Korg Wavestate MK II Digital Wave Sequencing Synthesizer

Let the Wavestate MK II Digital Wave Sequencing Synthesizer by KORG redefine your musical creativity. This innovative synthesizer builds upon the legacy of the original WAVESTATION, introducing the world to the groundbreaking Wave Sequencing 2.0. This advanced technology transforms raw samples into astonishing, ever-evolving sounds, offering extensive hands-on control for musicians, producers, and composers alike.

The Wavestate MK II is not just a nostalgic reissue, but a radical redesign for a new generation. It draws inspiration from diverse sources such as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition. With its compact design and 37 full-size keys, it fits seamlessly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup.

The Wavestate MK II also introduces the concept of wavestate native software (sold separately). This software allows you to integrate the Wavestate MK II into your DAW, providing full compatibility without compromise. It's the perfect tool for moving seamlessly between software and hardware workflows.

The Wavestate MK II boasts improved polyphony with 96 stereo voices and is fully compatible with sounds and samples from the original wavestate, wavestate SE, and wavestate native software. This includes many excellent third-party libraries, ensuring a fresh and updated sound palette.

Wave Sequencing 2.0 allows you to manipulate timing, sequence of samples, and melody independently, adding new characteristics such as shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values. This results in organic, ever-changing sounds that respond to your control. The four onboard arpeggiators further enhance the possibilities, interacting with Wave Sequences for even more creative options.

The Wavestate MK II is designed for exploration, featuring knobs and controllers for filter, envelopes, LFOs, effects, and more. The eight programmable Mod Knobs are customized to bring out the best in every sound, often taking them in entirely new directions. The Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, along with the unique Vector Joystick, provide multiple dimensions of real-time expression.

The Wavestate MK II comes with a vast arsenal of effects, delivering production-ready sounds. Each layer has three dedicated effects, and the Performance has a master reverb and parametric EQ. The synthesizer also features a variety of filters, allowing you to add vintage character or shape and refine your sounds.

The Wavestate MK II offers gigabytes of samples, providing a rich raw material for Wave Sequences. You can also import up to 4 GB of your own Multisamples, using the free Sample Builder application for Mac and Windows. Layer up to four Programs together in a Performance for even richer and more complex results.

The Wavestate MK II is designed by KORG R&D in California, the team behind the original WAVESTATION, OASYS, and KRONOS. It reflects their unique aesthetic, delivering stunning sound and deep flexibility via cutting-edge technologies. The Wavestate MK II is also compatible with the wavestate native software, allowing you to seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software.

In summary, the Wavestate MK II Digital Wave Sequencing Synthesizer is a powerful tool for any musician, producer, or composer looking to push the boundaries of sound design and synthesis.
