Korg Wavestate mkII Sequencing Synthesizer - Black

The KORG wavestate mkII redefines synthesis with its revolutionary Wave Sequencing 2.0 technology, offering musicians 96 stereo voices of polyphony in a sleek, redesigned package. This compact 37-key powerhouse maintains full compatibility with existing wavestate sounds, samples, and third-party libraries, while introducing fresh sounds and updated software that keep your creative palette constantly expanding. The portable form factor makes it perfect for any musical environment, from live stages to studio setups.

Wave Sequencing 2.0 breaks new ground by separating timing, sample sequences, and melody into independent “Lanes” that can be manipulated separately. Each Lane operates with its own step count, start and end points, plus loop settings, while incorporating shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values for unprecedented creative control. This innovative approach opens up sonic possibilities that traditional synthesis methods simply cannot achieve.

The front panel bristles with hands-on controls that put every parameter within immediate reach. Eight programmable Mod Knobs work alongside dedicated filter, envelope, LFO, and effects controls, while the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels combine with the distinctive Vector Joystick for multi-dimensional real-time expression. The dice-icon randomisation button adds an element of creative surprise, intelligently generating new sounds or modifying specific elements like filters, Sample Lanes, or effects to spark fresh inspiration.

Professional-grade effects processing ensures studio-ready results straight from the instrument. Each layer features three dedicated effects, complemented by master reverb and parametric EQ at the Performance level. The comprehensive effects library spans from essential processors like compressors, EQs, and delays to unique offerings such as the Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, and Overb from the legendary OASYS, plus authentic modelled VOX guitar amps, wah pedals, and classic guitar effects.
