Not a fan of the 1 finger stuff but other stuff is really nice. Was going to d/l the demo but wondering the name of some of the pad types so I jump straight to it? I still have the original WS AD...some of it is very close to original. Be great if it lets you detach the animation and make it control/realtime by user

You helped me decide to get a Korg Wavestate this week. Unfortunately, it will only know "When the Saints Come Marching In." Thanks for your wonderful presentations!

Thanks Bo, Your video of the new Korg WaveState is the best in-depth review I've seen for this amazing product. I particularly liked the segment you did on building a new patch from scratch - it helped very much with giving you an idea of just how deep and complex this synth can be...which is great.

What is going on here? We're barely a week into 2020 and I already had so much G.A.S. that I'm floating a mile above my house, and now you spring this on us?! Thanks, Bo, for another great first impression video. This thing is amazing!

When I first heard and saw this, I just saw a music making machine! especially for soundtrack type stuff!! you can change/mix sounds! add effects!! I heard there is a random create option?? that is amazing!! I have actually pre-ordered one now, I have never been so sucked into a synth like this before :)

I thought this would be the year I'd amputate my arm to get Omnisphere, instead, this may be the year where I sell my soul to get the wavestate... #ThanksKorg

So glad you were one of the early ones to see this! Spent a nice part of last year working with this - a joy to have my samples in Wavestate as well. Woot!

Yeah, sounds awesome! Thanks for the demo Bo!

Very excited for this one. Even the original Wavestation is impressively deep to this day... Can’t wait to try it soon!

You are really bumping up the content quality for 2020 i see!! good one, very enjoyable to watch! cheers

Wooow. I really love wavestation evolving sounds (the old one), finally a new hi fi wavetable based on the original. Look how they exposed all the attributes with knobs and switches is wonderfull..

Great synth and excellent demo sir.

I ordered it yesterday! It will come on valentines day!! I am reading the manual now!!

Fantastic video, I will be waiting for the fully tutorial!

Yes, we needed this! Sounds great.

Whoever came up with this thing is insane!! I love it

This is a waw and different agains the Minilogue, very good presentation Bo

I really love its sound. So many variations possible too, yay!!!!!

I think this is the first time I've started drooling over a synth. I need this.

Yo that patch from scratch section was awesome. Ive been watching a videos on this thing and that really gave a me a feel for how you can make sounds on it.

Just subbed, preordered this synth. Great review!

Looks like a damned good time.

Sounds fantastic

as an ambient/downtempo musician this make me really happy what a great sound

So awesome to see my friends work inside this machine. Well done Pluginguru and Airwave!!!!

Great review Bo! Very helpful. I think I am going to have to get one :-)

Nice introduction video, appreciated Bo

wow man! a great introduction to a new product, thanks!

Nice review, really like how you covered the randomize functionality.

BB great job and demo for everyone to understand whether this is something for our studios. This thing is Massive and swirly whirly and really sounds fantastic. They really did a huge upgrade to the original by putting life and movement into what was considered a bit repetitive. Korda always has great effect..going back to our M3. It almost reminds me of the Karma in the M3. Lots of menu diving but worth the work because of super u I’ve results. When I hear you play I can only say Beautiful....good job brother

Yes yes yes!!!!! thanks for this I'm waiting to see if I need this in my life!!!

Nice review! With all the overlays and arps going off simultaneously it strongly reminds me of the Yamaha MODX.

I remember the Roland Mc909 had 4 parts per patch, and 600 + and something waves? Great machine old as it is for making similar sounds to this, but took much more time. Great Video Bo. This will fit nice into my analogue set up, running through a DAW, big up happy Christmas 2020 👊🏽

Great video as always, thanks Bo. I'm loving the track around 18:30 - very chilled indeed. Is this one of yours? Happy New Year!

gorgeous looking. sounds pretty dang good too.

And it's $800, what a damn steal (for what it is)! I'll probably get an Argon8 if anything though, that synth is sooooo amazing, I really really want it. But the Minilogue xd too, and the Moog Sirin before the price skyrockets, and the Behringer Model D + Neutron, and the Volca Drum, and Arturia Microfreak, and Elektron Digitakt... Sooo many great synths and equipment coming out recently/soon, it's driving my hungry wallet crazy!

great review Bo, well done. talking of alternatives , original wavestations are easy to find for $250 and superior in some ways (aftertouch, 61 keys, pro build quality etc) and for $50 (regularly $25) you can't go wrong with korg's own VST, highly recommended!

This seems like a synth I could keep for a very long time and it would suit whatever style I am doing at the time. Not a bad price either 👍😎

Thanks Bo. Despite liking the look I wasn’t immediately sure about what this actually does as I’m not familiar with the original concept but you did a great job on clearing that up. One for the list to check out at Synthfest UK later this year!

Sounds sick! Seems a lot more intuitive than an old Blofeld as well 😅

Before I dreamed for 3 years buying something like this, now I bought it and will spend 3 years trying to figure out the possibilities for what I just bought :D Happy Wavestate and Kronos 2 owner.

If any of these sounds sound vaguely familiar to you, the original Korg Wavestation was heavily sampled for the soundtrack for the Donkey Kong Country games way back when.

I pay the acct balance monthly. So instead of say, letting $800 go at once for a Korg Wavestate.. or if my budget didn't allow it, but would allow 300.. then I can say hello to the wavestate now & bye bye to only $267/mo for 3mos or $160/mo for 5😀😎 But Again, ONLY if can pay off monthly! I also use a 0% interest cc or VERY low at least.. Otherwise.. yes Bo, I agree!! Not good to buy stuff on credit!! Once Again, You are 100, right on point!! Just like your videos!!👍🏻

going to make a spot for one on my rig now, thanks

Can't wait to have it great job korg.

Thank you for the review, (I’ll even forgive you playing the noxious “ski jam” preset😂.)...Aside from the little keyboard, I like everything about this synth-! update of a wavestation even with analogue (modelled) filters, well done Korg, this is an insta-buy for me.

I bought my first synth in 1992. It was a Korg. For me this is what synths should sound like.

Outstanding sound! So much modulation...this could be my first KORG!!! ...passing on the XD. 15:23 Sealed the deal for me. This and a Jupiter XM could complete my set up.

Great Review, very informative and you really confirmed my desire to get one. I really like the price point, as opposed the Jupiter X at $2400 or Roland JDXi close to 1600. I used to have a Wavestation from the earliest days, but always thought it was difficult to program, but sounded great. It's good to hear this is easier to program and more accesible. Any idea when it will be available to buy.

Definitely caught my attention

I love it.. seems like it's going to be affordable also

Lots of recognisable sounds from my Triton, Karma, Wavestation A/D and SR, 01R/W, TR Rack, Krome.....

Agree there, but it has many more raw waveforms for intricate sound design. My Triton's waveform's alias when stretched for low bass sounds, my Wavestate has better over all multisamples.

Now I see what's going on with the Wavestate Bo! Actually, it's not that dissimilar from my Montage, but without the FM engine, added features and build quality. The Montage has motion control with lanes that can be rhythmically automated like a sequencer or controlled with the super knob. I'm glad I saw your video before I considered this as my next wavetable synth. It has more in common with my Montage than a PPG. I'm looking for a modern take on old school, Waldorf style wavetable synthesis in my next synth. From what I see, the Wavestate isn't the tool to get me there. The Hydrasynth seems the best bet for me.

Very nice video! I really like that diddy at 16:57. This synth looks really cool, but I don't see myself ever getting one. The Poly D or Digitakt is where my wallet is headed to next.

Omg he sound like heaven! 😍

Very interesting demo Bo! The Hydrasynth seems far more powerful in many ways, but this seems a very logical and cheaper option, specially with the piano sounds which are a nice edition. How do the keys feel and what do they compare to please?

@BoBeats

4 жыл бұрын

The keys are not bad, but not very good either. Very average. Like MODX I'd say. So Hydra and Argon 8 have clearly better keys

Can you put one layer on "hold" so as to play as background chord or arp, while playing other layers on top of it? Can you assign different midi channels to each layer?

I feel like such a Korg fanboy. First it started with the Monologue then a couple volcas after that the minilogue and now this.

Awesome synthesizer! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Love it. Does always have to go smoothly through the waves or can it do more modern dubstep stuff also. So am I thinking right we have 16 steps like monologue. So we can do 4 16 step note sequences. With p locks and probability. Does it record motion? Or just steps

I like what I see and hear

Was considering getting a minilogue xd but definitly not sure now... how would you compare the 2 even tho I know they are completely different

Hi Bo, love the channel! I bought the Minilogue XD after seeing how much you love the Minilogue. It is fantastic! I have also bought the Wavestate, and made an impulse buy on a keyboard based Blofeld, but not arrived yet. I am starting to find my way around the Wavestation presets (performances, multi samples and samples), but haven't had a chance to read the manual and play with it much yet. I understand the Wavestate may have some overlap with the Blofeld, but without all the Wavestate dynamics. Listening to the Wavestate, it maybe complicated to get the most out of the endless possibilities, even though the some of the samples are nice. What are your thoughts! Thanks in advance and keep up the excellent work! 😎👍♥️

Lovin it

Now I want one! 😎

nice, a fan of the wavestation. Hoping my local store has one on display so I can play with it. Honestly, My physical gear is analog gear. This might make me consider picking up a digital one...having a cup of coffee on your behalf Mr Bo Beats! thanks!

good timing. my good old X-50 is getting tired. I have really enjoyed the dual arps in the x-50 and this looks like sequencer heaven. are the mod knobs pots or encoders? the only real trap on the x-50 was if you bumped a parameter pot and its setting was no where near the current value. had to get into the habit of pre-bumping the pots

Great overview Wavestate kind of reminds me of Arturia’s Pigments. Maybe it will be my next Synth! Thank you

Excellent

There are two things I take from this. The first is that they have not scrimped on the DAC's, this thing sound beautiful. The second is they appear to have nailed the UI compromise between functionality and size. I think I'll be returning my Argon 8. Not directly comparable I know, but similar size, price and newness.

Hi Bo, how easy is it to access all the different sounds please (presets I guess?). I've read you may have to select a performance first? I could be completely wrong. Just trying to understand before outlay, I like the sound design aspect and wave sequencing to. I would prefer your other suggestions (modx et al.), but they are out of my price range. Thank you for the great review/tutorial. Brilliant. :-)

If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t Dave Smith involved with the original WaveStation? I wonder how much of the original has been retained. Anyway, nice little demo, Bo. This looks awesome. Wondering what the price will be. Would’ve been nice to see some of the joystick action.
