Ergonomic design For ease and comfort the controls of the 700 FS are laid out below the keys. This is great if the synth is positioned on top of another instrument no longer will you have to stand up to make adjustments to your sound. Any and all changes can be made in an instant from the comfort of your seat. Innovative features When it was originally released the large scale nature of the 700s electronics left little room for more features. Due to the small space inside the mono-synth had reduced functionality. Over time electronics have gotten smaller and technology has gotten more powerful. Korg have taken full advantage of this. The influx of space has allowed the 700 FS to now include a spring reverb. Rich dark and resonant youll find this excellent for adding an unmistakable sense of depth to your sound. Whats more the intuitive joystick provides incredible pitch bend and modulation possibilities. Other new exciting features include aftertouch granting you even more expression whilst the on-board arpeggiator will add a new lease of life to any source. The all new memory program eradicates the need for users to remember or write down the positions of the knobs and levers to recreate their sound. This can be adjusted at the touch of one button. It doesnt get much better than this! Additional functionality Inspired by the 700S the 700 FS model features expanded functionality. It boasts not one but two oscillators allowing you to achieve weird and wonderful sounds. Adjust these in real-time to taste to create de-tuned thick sonics that will break through even the densest of mixes. One for the road To commemorate the legacy of the 700 the 700 FS comes complete with a custom-built hard case. This is perfect for those who wish to protect their synthesizer on the road or when its not in use. The multiple locking handles ensure that the 700 FS is kept secure at all times without the risk of falling and damage. Features Intuitive design ensures the 700 FS can be played by anyone Main controls located below keys for practicality Adjust the oscillators in real-time to achieve rich warm tones Sequencer is perfect for adding movement to create subtle riffs Keys range over seven octaves Specifications Keyboard: 37 keys (with aftertouch no velocity sensitivity) Range: 7 octaves Waveform: Triangle wave Square wave Sawtooth wave Chorus I Chorus II Programs: 14 Input: USB connector (Type B) MIDI IN connector SYNC IN and SYNC OUT jack (3.5mm monaural mini phone jack) CV IN and GATE IN jack (3.5mm monaural mini phone jack) AUDIO IN jack (6.3mm monaural phone jack TS unbalanced) Output: OUTPUT L/MONO and R jack (6.3mm stereo phone jack TS unbalanced) Headphones jack (6.3mm stereo phone jack) Power Supply: AC adapter (DC 12V) Power Consumption :9 W Dimensions (W x D x H): 744 x 280 x 122 mm/29.29” x 11.02” x 4.80” Weight: 8.5 kg/18.74 lbs.

The new wave – Wave Sequencing 2.0

Building on the success of the Wavestation Korg have further expanded the Wave Sequencing technology for this Wavestate SE synthesizer.

With the Wavestation the Wave Sequences had in-depth control over each step for duration sample and pitch. This allowed the user to create unique sounding patterns that repeated.

But what if those same patterns could be more organic? Morphing and evolving to create something fresh and exciting.

Well with Wave Sequencing 2.0 you can achieve that and more. Wave Sequencing 2.0 provides you with multiple new ways to edit and interact with your patterns.

You can now split apart timing sample sequences and the melody; allowing you to interact and manipulate each parameter independently. You can also edit and morph new parameters such as shapes gate times and the values on the step sequencer.

Each of these independent parameters is known as a “Lane”.

With each Lane you can decide how many steps you need as well as dictating the start end and loop points. When the sequence is moving forward each of the Lanes are combined which creates the output.

This provides you with endless possibilities allowing you to create set patterns that morph and evolve along with their parameters. You can also modulate a wide range of controls including the Lane’s start end and loop points for each of the notes.

Cutting-edge expression and in-depth controls

Jam-packed with controls knobs and switches; the Wavestate SE provides in-depth hands-on control for creating cutting-edge sequences.

The Wavestate SE includes everything you could possibly need such as filters envelopes LFOS effects and eight programmable modulation knobs.

The ergonomic layout and in-depth control panel also make the synth perfect for live performances.

As well as the pitch bend and modulation wheels the Wavestate SE provides you with a Vector joystick for a full 360-degrees of expression.

Nearly everything on the Wavestate SE can be modulated. Most of the front-panel knobs and on-screen parameters can be modified using the modulation on offer.

For further customisation you can even modulate each of the individual steps within a sequence.

The onboard modulation processors allow you to edit the mod signals providing the means to dictate quantize smoothing curvature and other settings.

Get inspired with the randomizer

Roll the dice once or twice. Capture your inspiration with the intuitive randomization control.

Represented by a dice icon on the front-panel the Wavestate SE allows you to randomize parts/the entire sound.

Randomizing the settings allows you to get new ideas and further your creativity.

Take flight with the Wasp See what the buzz is about. The Behringer WASP Deluxe brings a classic back to life. This versatile hybrid synthesizer features a digital dual oscillator design perfect for creating fat and warm sounds. Staying true to the original Behringer have meticulously recreated the original circuitry paying close attention to every detail. This provides you with the extra-flexible sound shaping capabilities that made the original so groundbreaking.

The original Wasp was first conceived in 1978 and was one of the first monophonic synths to use touch-sensitive keys. The pure analog signal path lent to its unique sound it delivered. Behringer have brought this unsung hero back to life modernising it with the inclusion of MIDI and USB connectivity in a sleek desktop unit. The compact design is also compatible with the Eurorack format allowing you to add the Behringer Wasp to your modular setup. You can also use the Poly Chain function to combine multiple synths for up to 16-voice polyphony.

Genre-defying powerful tones Coming from the late 70s the original Wasp was coveted for its ability to create big fat tones ideal for the rising wave of synth-pop and progressive-rock. The two oscillators are highly flexible providing three variable waveforms each. The waveforms are comprised of square wave sawtooth and a unique “enhanced mode” which delivers added punchy and clarity. You can adjust the oscillators tone across a wide five-octave range. The first oscillator allows you to adjust the waveshape via the Width knob. The second oscillator employs a pitch control which can be adjusted against the first oscillator’s pitch for unique modulation effects.

In-depth controls and flexible LFO The Behringer Wasp Deluxe features 29 controls in total giving you full rein over your sound design capabilities. The versatile LFO features six waveshapes including: sine wave rising sawtooth square wave noise and random. You can manipulate the tone of the waveforms using the Frequency and Pitch knobs. The onboard noise generator provides an added layer to mix in with the LFO ideal for creating percussive-type sounds. The switchable multi-mode VCF allows you to texturise your sounds with Lo Hi Band and Notch filter settings. The Frequency and Q settings are perfect for controlling the filter cutoff and width.

Features Legendary analog synthesizer with dual OSC design allows for insanely fat music creation Authentic reproduction of original “Wasp Deluxe” circuitry with matched transistors and JFETs Pure analog signal path based on authentic OSC VCF and VCA designs 3 variable oscillator shapes with pulse / ramp and enhanced mode for ultimate sounds Switchable multi-mode VCF with Lo Hi Band and Notch modes Flexible LFO with 4 waveform shapes frequency and pitch modulation control 2 analog Envelope Generators for modulation of VCF and VCA Noise generator dramatically expands waveform generation 16-voice Poly Chain allows combining multiple synthesizers for up to 16 voice polyphony Complete Eurorack solution – main module can be transferred to a standard Eurorack case 29 controls give you direct and real-time access to all important parameters External audio input for processing external sound sources Comprehensive USB/MIDI implementation with MIDI channel and Voice Priority selection 3-Year Warranty Program Designed and engineered in Germany

Expanded front panel controls. Whilst staying true to its desktop counterpart, this keyboard version features an expanded front panel, including one-knob controls for a fluid workflow. Another new addition is the six freely-programmable Macro buttons, which you can use to define a wide range of functions from the onboard tools and performance controls. You can also load sounds directly from the Quantum synthesizer and vice versa, so you can explore the different modulation choices on offer.

Powerful and versatile sound design options. The Iridium is jam-packed with LFOs, envelopes, and complex modulation options, which allow you to create any sound you can imagine. With six envelopes and six low-frequency oscillators, the synth can create powerful and hard-hitting sounds with the tweak of a few knobs. The unique Modulation Matrix provides you with 40 slots that you can incorporate various sources such as envelopes and LFOs for in-depth control. A unique feature is the ability to create additional envelopes or LFOs, utilizing the Komplex Modulator. You can use the custom Modulator to create new parameters to expand your sound design palette. There is also a wide range of filtering options, including both 12 and 24dB LP/HP/Bandpass filters for sculpting and texturizing oscillators. There are a variety of filters which are modeled on famous synth, including the Waldorf Nave, Largo, and more. You can also use the Dual Filter mode to control each of the filters separately or simultaneously.

Advanced polyphonic keyboard. Building on the success of the desktop synthesizer, Waldorf has taken the concept to new lengths with the introduction of the Iridium Keyboard. At the heart of the Iridium Keyboard is a 49-key FATAR TP/8SK semi-weighted polyphonic aftertouch keyboard. The thing that sets the keybed apart from other synthesizer is the advanced polyphonic aftertouch technology. Unlike conventional synth keyboards, the Iridium’s aftertouch is transmitted individually for each note played. This means each individual key is affected by the pressure of each finger applied whilst playing. Individual data streams are created for each note played, allowing for advanced modulation.

Compatible with Quantum Synth engine. The Waldorf Iridium Synthesizer is compatible with the same sound engine used within the Quantum, housing it with a compact keyboard synth. The powerful engine offers infinite possibilities in sound production. With a range of controls and effects, you can experiment with endless sound variations. Featuring eight voices with speech and spectrum functionality, you can simultaneously play several notes, adding incredible depth and character to your sound. At the core of the Iridium are three digital oscillators that can run 1 of 4 synthesis algorithms independently of one another. The first algorithm, which utilizes wavetable synthesis, allows you to sweep through wavetables to create sound, while the second is waveform mode, offering all your traditional subtractive waves such as sine and square wave.
