Wavestate mk2 – 37-Key Wave Sequencing Synthesizer

Legendary synthesis, radically re-imagined.

Extended polyphony, extended possibilities.

KORG’s legendary WAVESTATION introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds
that no-one had ever heard before. The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards developed Wave Sequencing even
further, expanding on its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms.

In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate brought Wave Sequencing to the next level. Featuring the radically
re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive
hands-on control. Far from a nostalgic reissue, the wavestate was 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.

The wavestate also introduced another ground-breaking concept: wavestate native software (*sold separately,
wavestate users can purchase at a discount) makes it available inside your DAW, with full compatibility and
without compromise. It’s perfect for moving seamlessly between software and hardware workflows.

Now, KORG is proud to present the new wavestate mkII, with improved polyphony (96 stereo voices) and a fresh
look.It’s completely compatible with sounds and samples for both the original wavestate, wavestate SE and
wavestate native software, including many excellent third-party libraries. Updated sounds and software keep
it fresh (and these are available for the original wavestate, too). The compact form-factor, with 37
full-size keys, still transports easily and fits neatly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup.

Easily expressive. Exceptionally deep.

Bursting with knobs and controllers, the wavestate invites you to explore. All of the basics–filter,
envelopes, LFOs, effects–are at your fingertips with dedicated front-panel controls. Eight programmable Mod
Knobs are customized to bring out the most in every sound, often taking them in entirely new directions. Use
the knobs in realtime performance, and also save the results as new sounds. Add in the Pitch Bend and
Modulation Wheels and the unique Vector Joystick, and you’ll always have multiple dimensions of realtime
expression.

Want to dig deeper? Almost all front-panel knobs, and most on-screen parameters, can be modulated. You can
even modulate settings for individual Wave Sequence steps! Mod Processors let you transform modulation
signals using quantization, smoothing, curvature, and more.

Multiply by four.

• With all of that synthesis power, you might think the wavestate would play only one sound at a time. Not a

• chance. For even more rich and complex results, layer up to four Programs together in a Performance–each

• with their own effects and arpeggiator. The Vector Envelope and Joystick mix the individual voices of the

four Layers, and can also modulate any other parameters.
