A flexible Korg Multi Filter sounds particularly interesting, allowing multiple modes simultaneously, controlled by modulation.Korg’s wavestate synthesizer introduced in 2020 kickstarted their innovative line of digital instruments, now also consisting of opsix and modwave. The synth recreates the MS-20 low-pass and high-pass filters, the Polysix’s low-pass and a collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole filters. With an impressive selection of modelled filters, there is some real scope to get creative with Wavestate.

The Vector Envelope and Joystick can be used to blend the individual voices of the Layers, as well as modulating other parameters. 64 stereo voices can be played simultaneously, with Korg’s proprietary anti-aliasing sample playback technology to maintain clarity.įour Programs can be layered up together in a Performance to go even further with your sound design, each with their own effects and arpeggiator. Wavestate’s sample library is said by Korg to be “more than a thousand times larger than that of the original Wavestation”, including samples from Plugin Guru, Korg’s original Wavestation and more from Kronos and Krome libraries. Effects include standards such as compressors, EQ, chorus, flanger, phaser and delay, plus the more exotic Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, Multiband Mod Delay, and Overb (from the Korg OASYS), plus modelled VOX amp and wah effects, and even more stompbox-style effects. Korg has included a boat-load of effects for achieving production-ready tones, with each of its four Layers containing three dedicated effects, plus a master reverb and parametric EQ.
