From the DW-8000 to the modwave mkII: KORG DNA Reinvented
Heir to the iconic 1985 DW-8000, the modwave mkII transposes the concept of digital wavetables combined with superb filters into a decidedly modern instrument. This "mkII" model pushes the formula further with increased processing power and unprecedented polyphony for a wavetable synthesizer, while maintaining a performance- and creativity-oriented interface.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for electro, techno, ambient, synthwave producers, and film composers, the modwave mkII shines both in the studio and on stage. Its workflow encourages sound exploration, quick editing, and the creation of evolving textures, whether wide pads, incisive leads, moving basses, or hypnotic sequences.
