A new modular model that makes a big difference in the music production environment.

Introducing the wavestate module - all the features of the wavestate mkII in a compact 19" desktop/rack mount package.

In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate takes KORG's Wave Sequencing to the next level. Featuring a radically redesigned Wave Sequencing 2.0, wavestate delivers surprising, ever-changing sounds with comprehensive on-the-fly controls. Far from a nostalgic remake, wavestate has been designed from the ground up for a new generation of musicians, producers, and composers, taking cues from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition.

120-voice polyphony, updated LFOs, and more

Taking full advantage of both a new enclosure design and new processing hardware, the wavestate module delivers an impressive 120 stereo polyphony sound. The new 4U rack-mount enclosure features the same controls as the keyboard models, but is easily portable and fits neatly into any studio or desktop production system.

In response to user requests, we've updated all LFOs with free-running, delay-start, and retrigger options, added new modulation sources, and more. A software update for the original wavestate will also be available.

The wavestate module is fully compatible with the sounds and samples of the original wavestate, wavestate mk II, wavestate SE and wavestate native, as well as many excellent third-party libraries.

MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and Polyphonic Aftertouch support

With the latest software updates, all models of wavestate, hardware and software, now support MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange. Hundreds of the original factory sounds have been updated to include Polyphonic Aftertouch modulation (Channel Aftertouch is also supported), making the wavestate module a perfect companion to KORG's Keystage keyboard.

Rack-Mount and Desktop

The Wavestate module is cleverly designed for both desktop and rack mounting. The panel has been redesigned to fit a standard 19" width, and the rear jack panel is recessed to allow easy access to cables, even with hardware mounted directly above it. For desktop setups, the brackets offer a variety of panel angles: flatter for standing performance, or more upright for working while seated in your studio.

Many musicians have requested a module version of the wavestate. Now that the components are available again after a long supply chain interruption, KORG is happy to make this request a reality.
