Introducing the wavestate SE, the powerful evolution of KORG's legendary WAVESTATION, designed for a new era of musicians, composers, and producers. This premium synthesizer takes Wave Sequencing to new heights, offering a host of dynamic sounds, extensive hands-on control, and an impressive 120 notes of polyphony, inspiring unparalleled levels of creativity.

Building upon the groundbreaking advancements of its predecessor, the wavestate SE features Wave Sequencing 2.0, a radical reimagination of the technology that propelled the original WAVESTATION to fame. Wave Sequencing 2.0 introduces the concept of "Lanes," allowing independent manipulation of timing, sample sequences, and melodies. With each step, the Lanes combine to create unique, ever-changing sounds that respond to your control. The wavestate SE's four onboard arpeggiators further enhance the possibilities of Wave Sequencing, providing a vast array of sonic exploration.

Designed with expressiveness in mind, the wavestate SE boasts an extensive array of knobs and controllers, providing immediate access to essential parameters such as filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects. The eight programmable Mod Knobs offer endless sonic potential, transforming sounds into entirely new dimensions. The addition of Pitch Bend, Modulation Wheels, and the unique Vector Joystick provides multiple dimensions of real-time expression, ensuring your performances are rich and captivating. Furthermore, nearly all front-panel knobs and on-screen parameters can be modulated, offering unparalleled depth and creativity.

To spark your creativity further, the wavestate SE includes a dedicated randomization button that intelligently generates new sounds. This feature can be applied to the entire sound or specific components like the filter, Sample Lane, or effects, providing endless inspiration for your musical endeavors.

Harnessing the power of advanced effects processing, the wavestate SE offers a range of studio-quality effects including compressors, EQs, choruses, flangers, and phasers. Additionally, the synthesizer features unique processors like the Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, and many others, including modeled effects such as VOX guitar amps and classic guitar pedals. The choice of filters is equally impressive, with options like the aggressive MS-20 Lowpass and Highpass filters, the sweet Polysix Lowpass filter, and a collection of resonant 2-pole and 4-pole filters.

With a vast sample library totaling in the gigabytes, the wavestate SE delivers an expansive range of raw material for Wave Sequences. The instrument incorporates samples from Plugin Guru, KORG, and select samples from the NAUTILUS, KRONOS, and KROME libraries. Moreover, the wavestate SE allows you to import up to 4GB of your own Multisamples using the free Sample Builder application, enabling you to express yourself in your own unique voice.

Despite its immense synthesis capabilities, the wavestate SE offers the ability to layer up to four Programs together in a Performance, each with their own effects and arpeggiator. The Vector Envelope and Joystick skillfully blend the individual voices of the four Layers, providing even richer and more complex results. With the inclusion of Set Lists, you can effortlessly organize your Performances, ensuring instant access during gigs or rehearsals. Smooth Sound Transitions guarantee seamless switching between sounds, allowing previously-played voices and effects to naturally ring out.

The wavestate SE is designed to integrate seamlessly into your setup. It features balanced stereo outputs for connecting to recording or monitoring systems, as well as a stereo headphone output for private playing or cueing onstage. MIDI connectivity is provided through DIN-style MIDI jacks, ensuring compatibility with other MIDI-equipped instruments and audio gear. Furthermore, the wavestate SE supports class-compliant USB MIDI connections to Windows and Mac computers, and the free wavestate SE Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder programs enable comprehensive editing and sound management.
