The Korg Wavestate SE Synthesizer is a special edition version of the now legendary Wavestate synthesizer with a premium-grade 61-note keybed with aftertouch and a revamped look with an all-metal chassis. Utilising the latest Wavestate 2.0 technology you can now explore unchartered tonal territory allowing you to create virtually any sound you can imagine. Pre-loaded with hundreds of genre-defying dynamic sounds and 120-note stereo polyphony; the Wavestate SE is perfect for everything from sound design to live performances. With a wide range of hands-on controls at your disposal you can twist turn and press your way to the sound you want with eight programmable mod knobs for maximum flexibility. You can also shape and texturise your sounds using a wide variety of onboard effects including classic Vox-style guitar amp simulations. It incorporates high-end sounds from the Kronos Krome and brand-new samples from Korg and Plugin Guru. Nearly every knob and parameter can be modulated for in-depth control. It also boasts a wide variety of classic and modern-day filters for in-depth sound design. Equipped with a 61-note keybed with aftertouch the Wavestate SE provides fluid playability and maximum expression. Complete with the Wavestate SE is an official hard case that keeps your synth protected whilst on the move.
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. You can even randomize singular parameters such as the filter Sample Lane or effects. Versatile sample library with 120-note polyphony Jam-packed with fresh sounds. With a sample library in the gigabytes the Wavestate SE provides you with a wide range of cutting-edge sounds straight out of the box. The vast library of sounds is a great starting point for creating sequences. The samples are comprised of sounds from Plugin Guru Korg and some incorporated sounds taken from the Kronos and Krome libraries. It also features all of the original Wavestation’s samples as well as a library of Wave Sequences. The synthesizer allows you to utilise up to 120 stereo voices delivering high-end clarity for a pristine sound. Flexible filtering including the Polysix Lowpass One of the most versatile features of the Wavestate SE is the vast library of filters. Add a touch of vintage character with the powerful MS-20 lowpass/highpass filters or start with the modern and sweet sound of the Polysix Lowpass. It also features a bespoke collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole Lowpass Highpass Bandpass and Band Reject filters. Also included is Korg’s very own Multi Filter allowing you to create blends of multiple modes at once. Catered for live performances With a whole host of superb effects and layering options the Wavestate SE is perfect for crafting live sets. The production-grade effects are comprised of compressors EQs choruses flangers phasers stereo delays a Wave Shaper Talking Modulator Reverse Delay Multiband Mod Delay and Overb (taken from the OASYS). It even features modelled effects incorporating VOX guitar amp VOX wah multi-head tape echo and a range of vintage guitar pedals. One of the most unique features is the Set Lists. Set Lists allow you to organise your sequences and patterns for live performances. The Set Lists provides you with instant access to your patterns at the touch of a button. With the addition of Smooth Sound Transitions you can utilise previously-played voices and effects to ring out naturally.
