NEW Korg Wavestate Wave Sequencing Synthesizer! - NAMM 2020

[@VimyScout]

When these two get together - like a lads night out 👊

[@whiteninja2006]

12:15 Rey's Theme! Awesome!

[@narupol27]

This is long waiting for thirty years since Wavestation. Like a Father like a son.

[@NapalmJustice]

Omg these two lovely chums are together again!? I'm going to grab some popcorn real quick! 😄🎹🎶

[@NapalmJustice]

Thanks for the video, people! It looks like a very fun synth, with a suprising amount of power and flexibility!

[@obwanz1921]

Hell yes!!

[@MJamesIII]

Superman! John Williams is smiling.

[@GarHoover]

20:32 Luke From Korg starts playing Silence Unbroken from the Skyrim soundtrack, one of the songs that plays while your in the caves! What a sly dog!

[@jppagetoo]

Finally! Some demo that said it has key split. I asked this question over and over and got no answer. Key split makes this even better.

[@Xenious]

If my eyes were closed this would actually remind me of my old Korg Karma. The algorithmic generation of that beast made for huge soundscapes.

[@HSTRTGMS]

This is cool asf. The next synth will not only write music for us, but license and distribute it for us, too. Korg will also collect a 100% royalty and seize ownership of any and all Grammy statuettes awarded to every customer who co-wrote the records.

[@snooganssupreme1339]

These two....you know it’s going to be great when these two get together.

[@danknittel1250]

I want a whole channel of just these two interacting. Don't even have to play piano! =) Also that synth is pretty great as well.

[@AndertonsKeyboardDept]

The world could not handle a channel with just these two... 😉

[@dreamcatcher4813]

I've bought one korg wavestate !!! it's amazing , fantastic for playing cinematic music . I was looking for that thank you KORG !!!!

[@keithjack38]

Luke and Jack, dynamic duo. Luke is a one man house band with the wavestate Love it

[@dreamcatcher4813]

And thank you to you , to demonstrate multiple possibilities of this instrument !!!

[@metaspherz]

There have been so many new synths coming out recently that my GAS is nearing the breaking point! I can't take it anymore. I pre-ordered the Wavestate with the assumption that I can ignore all the rest of the unannounced synths, from Behringer and others, for at least a short while... :P

[@pthomas36]

Wait for it....

[@enricopallazzo8510]

Finally i can play The X-Files theme correctly.. Great synth from Korg

[@craigbecker2192]

I picked up an original Wavestation back in 1990, it was an absolute freakin’ blast to jam with it. I wish it had taken less than 30 years, but the Wavestate looks like a worthy 2nd Generation of the Wavestation, and right now my only issue is how to get it in the house without my wife killing me.

[@pthomas36]

Ditto

[@denispolic2404]

Have the same problem mate, leave everything in the car, and wait till she´s in bathroom. Run as hell, bring it inside, put it on place in studio and just pretend it was all the time there, cheers!!!!

[@garyprater8139]

Hey, honey look what found just laying on top on my car?! I waited to see if someone was going to come back for it but they never showed up. 😕

[@jeanrobert6801]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@seanmatthews5279]

One advantage of my better half having no interest in my synths and thinking they 'all look the same' means, it gets easier to sneak things into my setup. She is starting to question why we need 14 lodgers staying in our room to help pay the bills!

[@Tranarpnorra]

I had an EX many years ago but sold it. Miss it but with this thing I have a reason to sort of buy it back (with added bells & whistles). Gimme!

[@Wagoo]

wAhEy! The dream team for an Andertons Korg vid :)

[@brymills]

You’ve scored an entire film soundtrack in this video!

[@Rene-lm8kr]

Always a pleasure to see you both checking out Korg stuff... ;-)

[@DaraM73]

In the chassis of a prologue 16 61Key would’ve been beautiful love, still to be commended for full sized key-bed.

[@WoodyPianoShack]

great demo guys, kinda amusing to hear Luke describing it as sounding fresh and modern when it sounds identical to my 1990 EX :)

[@youvsyou945]

Wrong woody....this outclasses the old one by far.....

[@Jason75913]

it has the same sounds, and Korg added more

[@johnpeer8260]

Lol...yeah, no.

[@life-is-inspiring3953]

Just bought one today; it’s on the way; can’t find words to describe this maschine

[@smokymountainblogger5509]

Korg does it for me with almost every piece of gear they release. This might be one of the more exceptional ones.

[@francescodefendi3201]

I love when Jack says: Come on! ....something good is going on! 👍🏼 Great wavebox korg! 🤟🏼

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

This one is a definite must buy for me. My namesake shows off the capabilities of this synth excellently. I'm sold

[@JazzzRockFuzion]

20:39 Barrow music from Skyrim!! What a ninja...

[@Jason75913]

He played that for a Kross2 demonstration, too.

[@cold_fashioned]

Yes, Jack - you do you!

[@valdiskrebs566]

Sounds great! Dead Can Dance @ 20:39 ? 4-part multi-timbral!!! 🎉

[@fortheloveofnoise]

"Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun" vibes for sure

[@dannydimercurio577]

Playing the dungeon music in Skyrim at 20:37 was a real baller move

[@frontline2010]

I'm going to make a hard prediction that Korg is going to wait to see how the Wavestate is going to be received by the general public first and if all goes well in terms of sales they're going to release the Rackmount Wavestate A/D and the Wavestate EX 61 key version with even more presets, user audio sampling and a external XLR microphone for a built in vocoder. It seems like the logical path to take because these features that have been on the wish list of many hardcore Wavestation users for years and Korg knows this to be true. I belive the Wavestate will do well I know I will be buying one.

[@alex_darsen]

Corey Davis Yes, a rack would be awesome, and I agree with your theory on how Korg will expand this. Hopefully will do something like you say. Will wait a bit to see.

[@bond4177]

I would probably be in that boat, I'd buy it if they make a rackmount version. Not interested in the keyboard version myself.

[@rhampton1914]

best sounding synth ever. i picked on up and couldn't be happier. Thanks for this video...

[@kylekaplan6848]

These guys need to star in their own synth sitcom.

[@99MUZIK]

Korg wavestate have won the battle against hydra synth and modal argon8.

[@MakingMadBeats]

I think the Argon8 sounds smoother which I prefer soundwise.

[@Jason75913]

Wavestate takes after workstations more, complete with more sequencing than the wavetable synths and more acoustic sounds for much broader sonic palette up to a point. Hydrasynth and Argon8 still have their place, they are more specialized in electronic sounds than Wavestate and make them in higher quality.

[@fabioj.w.6185]

Ehm... NO... it's a completely different thing... the others are VA and you can synthetize a sound starting from single osc then filter mod effects... this is more an evolved sampler/sequencer...

[@devinthierault]

@@fabioj.w.6185 Wavestate is more for soundscapes and pads.

[@devinthierault]

@@fabioj.w.6185 it's a rompler like you said

[@robertcarlsson2456]

You just have to love “Luke from korg”!

[@AndertonsKeyboardDept]

Everyone Loves Luke from Korg!

[@ak99uk]

4.40 made me play Hall of the Mountain Grill, by Hawkwind.

[@Rightly_Divided]

Just got one today. It is amazing for the price!

[@adrianfundescu5407]

Korg is after our ££££££;-))))).And we will be the pray.Great releases Korg.

[@R---66---R]

Yeap...so, it's clearly all about 'sound', heavenly emotional sound/sound that is so alive. And that is excactly what your brain, your whole body, all your senses and everything else that is alive in you, 'wants'!

[@MakingMadBeats]

The dream team back @ it again 🔥

[@MichaalHell]

Imaging using only percussive samples. It’s like an idm dream machine

[@deepthings4311]

Can't wait to see the Wavestate SE that just released!

[@homeslice1479]

Polyphony is 64, in stereo!

[@NickVanKukaj]

This is insane 🙏🏼I cannot wait to get one 💛

[@aliensporebomb]

Brilliant sounding keyboard.

[@quibster]

LUKE FROM KORG LETS GOOOOO

[@andriebayuajie6503]

Amazing synth

[@digitaldiezel5870]

The only words I can mutter from my lips, as a single tear drops from my eye, is... TRAP BEAST....

[@healthgods]

Is there a list of patches? Does it have hip hop drums? or strings? or organs? or epiano? or brass? or flutes?? or just a bunch of weird sounds? I would love a fit in your lap workstation with quantizing, 16 tracks. This is the closest thing I have found!

[@damonsiegiel7855]

This thing looks pretty cool. I might have to pick one up.😮

[@yorkie_pudd]

I'm excited, I love the Wavestation, it was a bit of a nightmare at times though, the Wavestate looks like it's simplified some of that nightmarish process though which is nice

[@grambo4436]

2:45 Sold! Korg is finally stepping up.

[@julko28]

Sometime untill this years christmas i'll buy me a present and i know exactly which one. I love hybrid cinematic sounds - my shtick

[@karlhudson7209]

You two crack me up. Great video

[@samiam9059]

With 16gigs of samples onboard and all the original wavestation samples what's not to love. Made some great tunes with the original back in the 90's. :)

[@grandmasterjo1]

I think Korg has just overtaken Elektron 😜🤣for their sequencer capabilities with the four lanes and performance knobs. It’s like four machines running together. Wish Korg had two sets of outputs, with the vector stick the sounds could be moving left to right or front to rear Quad sound scapes which could be the new way of performing live So much is put in a light plastic box 👍👍👍 Wicked !!!!!

[@cellrok]

Instant purchase for me, but I have to be that one guy who would have loved a module version. Anyway, it gets the honor of being my only synth with keys.

[@holgermischnick3133]

great instrument, funny boys going into impressing conversation. please more like this!

[@montazownianr1]

They playing that Superman theme in every demo lol

[@domingossaude]

I realize the number of control bottons of a keyboard means what model is the best. This one has 90 of them. So, it has to be a very good one.

[@TheTinMan123]

Just bought one from the mighty Andertons well excited

[@pendlehillufos.6662]

Cool sonicstate are the defacto reviewers but you take a diffrent approach which i enjoy,Keep it up.

[@davidcole1362]

Looks amazing, priced very competitively I’m definitely getting one great job lads. Roland take a look at how it’s priced Jupiter Xm £1250 with mini keys I think they are just winding people up on purpose now, surely.......

[@dimitargadzhev3800]

Thank you for this video!!!

[@ianpritchard6375]

Amazing .. I've got one but never found some of these sounds. Would have been helpful if you guys had said which patch was being used each time. It's not really visible even when the screen is in view. Thanks

[@supernatural802]

Was waiting for this :)

[@davidreidy5750]

You played the Superman sountrack,I have to get the wavestate now.

[@JeffShuck]

It’s so great. It’s what I hoped the Prophet X would be.

[@domingossaude]

Sounds very korgy. I like this definition.

[@fizzywack]

This thing sounds amazing! Getting one for definite!!

[@enochroot9438]

really drawn to this synth, have to choose between this and the hydrasynth, any opinions on which way I should go?

[@zurlocker1]

Sounds awesome. I wish the new 61 key version would have a larger screen. Otherwise, looks great.

[@Wagoo]

I'd love this in a 5U rack module.. chop off the keys and wheels.. move the joystick.. job's-a-good-un' ARP 2600 vid will be fun, too :)

[@Funkbutterfly]

I appreciate the chill pacing of this. There's more to a review than cramming all the features in.

[@sumchi3690]

Hi, i have a question.This may sound basic but i was just wondering if i can connect a 61 note midi keyboard and then be able to play all the notes from the korg?, I think i got that backwards ,but you know what i mean.

[@MrClarkio]

You don't need a DAW, wavestate has 5 pin, MIDI in, out. Also has midi over USB.

[@crnkmnky]

nice LPs on the table… Greg Phillinganes, Stevie Wonder × 2, …

[@PrimitiveBaroque]

Seems like many of the professional Japanese composers for videogames and anime by the mid-90s may have used the WaveStation or something like it. It sounds so similar.

[@hankv899]

Sounds good!

[@boboscurse4130]

It's awesome! Stranger Things!

[@NewLoops]

Always great fun!

[@hfugmann]

I love your vids, Jack!!!

[@obwanz1921]

Hahah! Laughing my nutz off at the beginning! Well done! Killing killing KILLING!!!

[@ebatalha]

10:29 Please tell me I'm wrong but, I almost bet the Reface´s mini keys are better than the ones on the Wavestate. Aside from that, yeah, I'd love to have one.

[@jonathandossantossilva2683]

A korg sempre arrebenta!!!!máquina tooooop!!!!

[@user-KORG]

Обалденные обертоны!

[@nickbryant2318]

4:35 take my money!!!

[@Very-Relaxing.Soundscapes]

Great Video!

[@Renzsu]

The boys are back in town! Love the Wavestate, so fresh after all the analog gear. That brass patch is something isn't it?

[@ArbitraryMind]

This is such a sick synth!

[@iSirTaki]

So this is the Daniel Miller of KORG?

[@md-ps2hx]

Have you done an update on this since they've updated the firmware to 2.0?!

[@troublesomecorsair]

If it responds to AT and PolyAT, one would think we'll see a module version next year.

[@tysonrichards2011]

Any PCM samples of dedicated instruments in it, or just synth sounds?

[@sun.sneezer]

nice skyrim surprise near the end

[@dirkkeersmaekers4343]

One key and you have almost a brand new song,hihihi.

[@johndean5860]

Does the joystick output midi?

[@johnhorrobin8560]

Midi cc 16 17, I believe , as on the original WS

[@maxamills1929]

Direct competitor to the Jupiter XM, But it doesn’t seem as fully fleshed out. I want to love it, but I’m still putting my savings toward an XM.

[@Jason75913]

Except the Jupiter Xm is fully electronic sounds and a regular synth while Wavestate is semi-workstation with more sequencing and a lot of acoustic sounds and percussion and all?

[@marleyb1432]

The sound he makes at 15:12 is mesmerizing. Is there a musical term or specific word for that part?

[@devinthierault]

Yes filter sweep plus vector sweep between the samples

[@aquaticborealis4877]

I really want one of these. Awesome demo. But I'm hesitating. I have an Arturia Keylab 88 MKII, and perhaps I could get access to these sounds via the Korg Collection?

[@MrClarkio]

Aquatic Borealis some of them yes, although I think the korg collection has an emulation only of the original wavestate. Even with that you'll be missing lots of the sounds, the mind numbing modulation options on this thing and the randomization options. If you like the sounds it makes, aren't afraid of a bit of menu diving then for the price I would (and did) buy it. You'll want to stick with your keylab 88 as the keybed, but that'll let you take really good advantage of the key split, Multi timbrality of this synth.
