Korg Wavestate mk II

Experience the evolution of sound with the KORG wavestate mkII synthesizer. Building on the groundbreaking technology of its predecessors, the wavestate mkII takes Wave Sequencing to new heights, delivering astonishing, ever-changing sounds with unparalleled hands-on control. Designed for the modern musician, producer, and composer, this synthesizer draws inspiration from modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition, pushing the boundaries of sound design.

With Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate mkII offers a new level of sonic exploration. Separate the timing, sequence, and melody of each wave sequence, allowing for independent manipulation. Shape the characteristics of each "Lane" with different step counts, start/end points, loop points, shapes, gate times, and step sequencer values. As the sequence progresses, the individual Lanes merge to create unique outputs, resulting in organic and ever-changing sounds. Modulate each Lane's parameters separately for each note, adding depth and complexity to your compositions.

The wavestate mkII features an array of knobs and controllers, providing instant access to essential parameters. Easily tweak filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects in real-time. The eight programmable Mod Knobs offer endless sonic possibilities, taking your sounds in entirely new directions. Take advantage of the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, along with the unique Vector Joystick, to add expressive nuances to your performances.

For added inspiration, the dedicated randomization button generates new sounds with intelligent randomization. Randomize the entire sound or specific elements such as filters, sample lanes, or effects, creating fresh starting points for your compositions. Discover new sonic territories with every press of the dice icon.

Enhance your sounds with a wide range of effects, including compressors, EQs, choruses, flangers, phasers, stereo delays, and more. Stand out with modeled effects such as the Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, Multiband Mod Delay, and Overb, along with classic guitar pedals and VOX guitar amps.

The wavestate mkII comes loaded with a massive sample library totaling in the gigabytes, providing endless raw material for Wave Sequences. Additionally, import up to 4 GB of your own Multisamples using the free Sample Builder application. Layer up to four Programs in a Performance, each with their own effects and arpeggiator, for rich and complex results. Set Lists and Smooth Sound Transitions make organization and performance seamless.

Connectivity is a breeze with balanced stereo outputs, a stereo headphone output, and MIDI jacks for integration with other instruments and gear. The wavestate mkII supports class-compliant USB MIDI connections to Windows and Mac computers, offering versatility in any setup. The free Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder programs provide a comprehensive editing experience and additional sound management options.
