For sale: Korg Wavestate MKI wave sequencing synthesizer in excellent condition. These are a ton of fun to play with and offer a deep, evolving sound engine for an approachable price.
Details below:
Updated to the latest OS (3.2.1).
There are some scratches on the bottom of the unit (see photo 17). The LCD bezel has been polished, but some minor imperfections remain that are difficult to photograph (see photo 15). Please examine all photos carefully, as we have done our best to document the condition.
The Wavestate takes the Wavestation idea much further with Wave Sequencing 2.0, four layers, vector control, and a substantial effects section. It's especially good at evolving pads, cinematic textures, atmospheric soundscapes, and rhythmic sequences that keep changing as you play. Independent sequencing lanes let timing, samples, and pitch move in different directions, while the front-panel controls make it easy to experiment and hear the results immediately. There is plenty of depth here for serious sound design, but simply exploring a Performance and moving the vector joystick can be a lot of fun.
Sale includes the synth, original Korg power supply, and free shipping to the continental US.

- Synthesis Type: Digital sample-based synthesizer with Wave Sequencing 2.0 and vector control
- Polyphony and Layers:
- Up to 64 stereo voices on the original Wavestate MKI
- Four layers per Performance, each with its own Program, arpeggiator, key zone, and velocity zone
- Layer sounds, split the keyboard, or blend layers using the vector joystick and vector envelope
- Wave Sequencing 2.0:
- Separate Timing, Sample, Pitch, Shape, Gate, and Step Sequencer lanes
- Independent lane lengths and loop points let different musical elements evolve against one another
- Step probability and randomization support changing patterns and less predictable timbral movement
- Single multisamples can also be played without building a Wave Sequence
- Sound Library and Memory:
- Factory design includes over 240 Performances, 740 Programs, and 1,000 Wave Sequences
- Large sample library spanning acoustic instruments, electronic sounds, and Wavestation material
- Storage for tens of thousands of user Performances
- Performance saving retains edits to the layers and their associated sound settings together
- Filters:
- MS-20 low-pass and high-pass models, Polysix low-pass, and Multi Filter
- Additional 2-pole and 4-pole low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject types
- Filter modulation allows each layer to develop its own movement and character
- Modulation:
- Three envelopes and three LFOs per Program
- Vector envelope, modulation processors, key tracking, and Step Sequencer lane
- Eight assignable Mod Knobs for Program and Performance control
- Extensive routing to synthesis, effects, and individual Wave Sequence step parameters
- Aftertouch can be received over MIDI, while the built-in keyboard senses velocity and release velocity
- Effects:
- Three dedicated effects per layer: Pre FX, Mod FX, and Delay
- Performance-level reverb and four-band parametric EQ
- Fourteen simultaneous effects across a complete Performance
- Processing includes distortion, compression, chorus, phaser, ensemble, multiple delays, and reverb
- Keyboard and Performance:
- 37 full-size keys with velocity and release-velocity response
- Vector joystick, pitch wheel, and modulation wheel
- Set Lists for organizing Performances and Smooth Sound Transitions when changing sounds
- Dedicated controls for hands-on sound editing and randomization
- Connectivity:
- 1/4-inch L/Mono and R audio outputs
