Building on the legendary DW-8000's groundbreaking fusion of digital wavetables and analogue filters, the modwave mkII pushes wavetable synthesis into uncharted territory with almost double the polyphony and enhanced functionality. This modern monster synth combines incredibly deep wavetable oscillators with gorgeous filters and wildly flexible modulation, offering unmatched polyphony and comprehensive pattern sequencing alongside immediately satisfying hands-on control for unique, powerful, and easily customisable sounds.
The modwave mkII introduces two revolutionary tools for creating dynamic motion: Kaoss Physics and Motion Sequencing 2.0. Kaoss Physics merges an x/y Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics to create a responsive, interactive controller that's both powerful and genuinely fun to explore. Motion Sequencing 2.0 brings the organic, continuously evolving patterns from wavestate's Wave Sequencing 2.0 into motion sequencing, featuring multiple lanes and real-time recording capabilities that help you craft complex, evolving phrases beyond the reach of traditional step sequencers.
With its knob-per-function layout and hundreds of preset sounds organised by front-panel category buttons, the modwave mkII makes sound customisation fast and intuitive through four dedicated Mod Knobs. The distinctive wavetable timbres range from aggressive basses and leads to lush ambient pads, all ready to add new dimensions to your tracks. The mkII now boasts an astonishing 60 voices of polyphony — nearly double the original's 32 voices — plus updated LFOs with free-running, delayed start, and retriggering options, along with pre/post reverb send switching and additional modulation sources.
