The Korg Modwave Wavetable Synthesizer builds on the legacy of the cult-classic the DW-8000 to provide you with a wide range of sounds that will inspire and rejuvenate your approach to production and performance. When crafting the Modwave Korg went all out. Deep wavetable oscillators? Check. Rich filters? Check. Versatile modulation? Check. If thats not enough to impress you then were sure the detailed sequencing and unparalleled hands-on control will win you over! The Modwave boasts two innovative tools that are excellent for adding dynamics to your performance. Physics is the combination of an X/Y format Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics for an even greater response. Highly intuitive its sure to provide your performances with that extra “human touch”. Whats more Sequencing 2.0 goes above and beyond the capabilities of other step sequencers allowing you to produce beautiful intricate ever-evolving phrases that are certified to inspire. Customisation of your sounds has never been so fun or easy thanks to the Modwaves knob-per-function layout. This makes your approach to sound design feel hands-on and natural. The wide range of presets on offer allows you to jump right in and achieve the finest sounds straight out of the box. From subtle pads to hard-hitting basses and lead lines this synth can do it all and then some. The Modwave is all youll ever need on your infinite quest for the finest sounds and tones possible. Firmware Update: The modwave System Updater v1.1 introduces the Sound Editor and Sample Builder allowing you to incorporate your own multi-samples as well as organise and edit sound data when connected to a computer.
Firmware update – Sound Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder Introducing the new Sound Editor and Sample Builder available with the new firmware update for the Modwave. The Sound Editor/Librarian provides advanced control for the Modwave allowing you to organise and edit data when connected to a computer (Mac/Windows). From here you can transfer sound data between the Modwave and your computer allowing you to back up your custom presets and much more. Take your sound design to the next level using the powerful Sample Builder software providing support for ‘User Samples’. Using the Sample Builder you can now incorporate your own multi-samples allowing you to import up to 4GB of your own samples. Dive head first Youll be able to dig deep with the Wavetables oscillators. Youll start with well over 200 wavetables these are constructed to include up to 64 waveforms from a seemingly infinite number of individual waves. Morph its sound beyond recognition thanks to the extensive range of modifiers which can be adjusted in real time. When you compile the possibilities of what can be achieved using the inclusive range of effects and options on offer it hits well over 230 million possibilities. Good luck getting through them all! New and improved The Modwaves Sequencing 2.0 comes new and improved to provide you with the finest results. Youll find that timing pitch shape and four sets of step sequence values have been spread out into lanes. Each lane provides the source with their own loop start and end position offering an even deeper level of modulation manipulation when it comes to recording. When the sequence propels itself forward each of the individual lanes are united to form the overall output. For example a value from the step sequence could be matched with a random duration pitch or even shape every single time a note is played. Each of the lanes loop points can be modulated separately to ensure that every note plays something slightly different. Under the hood Wavetables are single-cycle digital waveforms that have been positioned in a distinct order. The position of the wavetable is imperative when it comes to determining which waveform is being played. Youll be able to move the position by utilising tools such as envelopes LFOs and other modulation sources. These can be used to create either subtle or dramatic changes in the synthesizers sound. Incredibly versatile youll find that some wavetable systems randomly glitch between one waveform to the next whilst others crossfade smoothly between them to achieve unique resonances and harmonics. When creating these unique sounds youll be able to choose from well over 30 modifiers to morph the character of any wavetable. These are great for singling out odd and even harmonics as well as adding body to your sound via anti-aliased quantisation and harmonic distortion. The integrated vintage options empower you with the classic sound of old-school wavetable synths. Squeeze and stretch your sound via the generous 13 morph types on offer in the Modwave. By utilising the sync mode youll be able to perfectly emulate the sound of swept-sync timbres with a single oscillator. Take your tone to the next level via the A/B mode. This allows you to combine any two wavetables you desire with total phase accuracy. This is ideal when you want to quickly add dimension and body to your sound. For total flexibility this can be manipulated in real-time. Filters for days Inject that highly-sought after vintage mojo into your tone with the unmistakable MS-20 low and high pass filters. The redesigned gain controls of the Polysix Lowpass allows you to dial in the perfect amount of colouration for your sound. This can be refined with the extensive collection of two and four-pole filters on offer to you. Become an innovator with KORGs incredible multi-filter youll find this excellent for creating modulatable blends and modes. The inclusion of presets on the sleek black fascia make exploring these sounds easier than ever before. Studio-grade sounds The on-board processor makes effects based manipulation feel effortless. Each layer comes complete with three committed effects alongside a send to the master verb and parametric EQ. Youll be able to sculpt and shape your sound by taking advantage of the on-board compressors equalisers flangers phasers and delays. Add the perfect amount of grit to your sound via the wide range of VOX modelled effects that are included. This ranges from amplifiers to pedals and so much more! Stuck in a creative rut? No problem! With one click youll be sorted out. Simply hit the “dice” icon to have a new sound in an instant. This is generated via intelligent randomisation. This approach doesnt have to be so heavy handed either. Should you desire you can randomise a single aspect of your sound whether that be an oscillator filter or effect. Who knows the sound that defines a generation may be waiting in the wings… Features Easily access your favourite sounds via the tried and tested library The wide range of presets on offer allow you to achieve great sounds straight out of the box Hit the dice icon to get yourself out of any creative rut Add movement to your sound with the on-board step sequencer Specifications System Keyboard: 37 keys (velocity and release-velocity sensitive) Maximum Polyphony: 32 stereo voices Sound Generating System: modwave synthesis engine Modulation Controllers: Mod Wheel Pitch Wheel Kaoss Physics 4x Mod Knobs Other Sources 4x Envelopes 5x LFOs 2x Mod Processors 2x Key Track Seq Lanes A-D Step Pulse Tempo Program/Performance Note Count Program/Performance Voice Count Poly Legato Velocity Exponential Velocity Release Velocity Gate Gate+Damper Note-On Trigger Note-On Trigger+Damper Note Number Aftertouch and Poly Aftertouch external MIDI only) MIDI CCs +/- MIDI CCs + Destinations: Most parameters can be modulated including parameters of individual Motion Sequence Steps.Depending on Motion Sequence length there can be more than 1000 potential modulation targets per Program.
