Korg Wavestate MKII Keyboard Synthesizer, Minty w/ Plastic still on LCD + OG PSU

We strive for accuracy, but errors can occur. Please verify details or contact us with questions.

• Synthesis Type: Digital sample-based synthesizer with Wave Sequencing 2.0 and vector control, combining individual samples into evolving sounds and rhythmic patterns.
• Polyphony and Layers:
  • Up to 96 stereo voices, increased from 64 on the original Wavestate.
  • 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 User Samples:
  • Large factory sample library spanning acoustic instruments, electronic sounds, and Wavestation material.
  • Import up to 4 GB of your own multisamples using Korg's free Sample Builder for Mac and Windows.
  • Use imported samples in Wave Sequences or as individual multisamples.
• 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.
  • Channel and polyphonic aftertouch can be received over MIDI. The built-in keyboard senses velocity and release velocity, without aftertouch.
• 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.
• Memory and Sound Organization:
  • Factory specification includes 261 Performances, 799 Programs, and 1,042 Wave Sequences.
  • Storage for tens of thousands of user Performances.
  • Performance saving retains edits to the layers and their associated sound settings together.
• 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 impedance-balanced L/Mono and R audio outputs.
  • 1/4-inch stereo headphone output.
  • 5-pin DIN MIDI In and Out.
  • USB Type B for MIDI and supported computer utilities.
  • Damper pedal input.
• Computer Integration:
  • Free Korg Editor/Librarian for editing and organizing sounds on compatible Mac and Windows computers.
  • Sample Builder prepares user multisamples for import.
  • Sound and sample compatibility with the original Wavestate, Wavestate SE, and separately sold Wavestate native software.
  • Computer utilities require compatible operating systems and software versions.
• Use Cases:
  • Evolving pads, cinematic atmospheres, ambient soundscapes, and rhythmic sample sequences.
  • Layered performance sounds, vector synthesis exploration, and experimental sound design.
  • Compact keyboard for studio work and live setups.
