Korg Wavestate Module

A "Wavestation" Legacy, Modern and Sound Design-Oriented

The Korg wavestate follows the lineage of Korg instruments dedicated to moving pads and complex timbral sequences. Its Wave Sequencing 2.0 engine modernizes the approach to "wave sequences" by making programming faster, more modular, and perfectly suited to current production needs. Within the Korg range, it is an obvious choice for those seeking a digital synth crafted for atmospheres, pulses, and rich sonic transitions.

Who Is the wavestate For?

Ideal for experienced musicians and sound designers, the wavestate excels in ambient, cinematic, electronica, melodic techno, synthwave, and sound design applications. In the studio, it shines at building living pads, organic arpeggios, and evolving layers without multiplying tracks. On stage, its controllers and Performance logic enable expressive variations, morphing, and subtle movements, all while maintaining clear readability via the OLED screen.
