But now, a quarter of a century since the last Wavestation was discontinued, there's a new kid on the block. Happily, its Wave Sequencing technology didn't disappear entirely, resurfacing as a soft synth in 2004, and in limited form in the OASYS and the Kronos. I thought that that was a great shame, but the huge amount of resources that Korg poured into the Prophecy, the Trinity, the original OASYS and the Z1 in the mid-'90s meant that the company never returned to the Wavestation. Performance: 4 Layers, Reverb, EQ all edits are stored in the Performance, DAW-style (saving as separate Programs, Wave Sequences etc.Wave Sequencing is back - and this time it's got knobs on!įrom the WS‑1 keyboard in 1990 to the SR rack released in 1992, the Wavestation family remained in production for only five years or so before being discontinued.

Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control. Now, KORG is proud to announce the next step in digital synthesis: the wavestate. The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards developed Wave Sequencing even further, expanding on its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms. KORGÕs legendary Wavestation introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds that no-one had ever heard before.
