Review: Korg Wavedrum Global

[@rommelrivera1186]

I just ordered one of these. I know I'm a few years late, but how is it that this synth isn't more popular? This thing is insane!!!

Now you just need to get 2 more 😊

[@GFonk16BIT]

You will love it!

[@MattKeenanMusic]

Hit the nail on the head! The connectivity is what's holding me back from getting one.

Nicely done. I've just bought one and I like it too. Just think of the number of percussion instruments you would have to buy (and lug around) to get as many sounds as you can on this very portable drum. As for the export problem, you just need to plug it into your In/Out box and record as audio into your DAW. Not a huge problem.

Somebody knows if there is a good tutorial on youtube for the Wavedrum global? I've seen 50 videos with the most stupid things (a lot of sounds.....) but nobody explains the use of the knobs for a beginner: bank abc, 1234, live, edit, global. What do you have to do to hear an algorhytm, a double algorythm, to change a playsound with a loop etc.

hansje1951 I'm looking for the same thing!! Had no luck :/

[@hansje1951]

Does someone knows which knobs you must use to get/play the algorithms?

Almost each time I watch one of your Korg product reviews my wallet gets a lot thinner. Your reviews are brilliant mate.

[@ItchyTastyRecords]

your reviews are the best!!

[@LaurenceCousins-ov9tn]

Can it play scales? Can you play melodies?

[@zenarobinson3851]

[@therealKINDLE]

[@1henrythedog]

[@Mtaalas]

This is very well done review... more like these :)

[@GavinMcCloy]

I felt like I was watching this 2x speed had to check KZbin settings lol

I can understand why this doesn't have MIDI, the way it picks up the playing would be hard to translate properly into MIDI, and Korg are lazy about this kind of implementation, furthermore it is intended to be very hands on - obviously... The USB with potential editor and updates etc. are harder to understand in this case. It would be a very welcome feature. But then it would require something Korg aren't fans of: Maintaining support/updates of the drivers and software necessary for it to work.

It seems much more organic/alive than Roland hpd-20

[@JakeWorrell]

I think that's a new shirt.

[@skvan]

Hm, Nick looks different today...

[@LaurentDiscShowMan]

Buen aparato para percusiones...pero hay que hacerlo mas profesional...mas sonidos,cuantizacion,salvamentos y memorias...bien animo con todas las cosas y vayamos todos con alegrías...

🌟 Here's the deal: A REMO Djembe is $350 dollars. You play a KORG Wavedrum just like a Djembe but it has tons of excellent sounds with dynamic variations. Yes, editing sounds is a drag, not being able to back-up countless of hours of editing my own custom sounds is not good. Although, I have seen webpages on how to access and copy the internal micro SD Card with sounds (Voiding your Warranty). 🤖 It would be amazing to have a Mac/iOS or PC compatible SOUND EDITOR to create & save your custom sounds. Why is KORG not saying anything about these issues??? 🧐 If they don't care, then there is an opportunity for third party developers to offer these services. 🤖 BTW, I own a Wavedrum X and a Global Edition Wavedrum, I really love playing them and don't ever regret buying them, the magic algorithms keep producing new timbres and sound variations every time I play them, THAT IS THE MAIN ADVANTAGE from any other electronic drums currently available in 2023. 🙏🏽

THEY WILL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING. If they keep holding back on connectivity and having a software editor! Stop making shit Korg!!!
