In 1985, Korg introduced the world to the DW-8000, a groundbreaking synthesizer that merged digital wavetables and rich analog filters to give players access to a new universe of synthesized sounds. The Korg modwave continues the DW-8000’s storied legacy while representing a new evolution in wavetable synthesis. Comprising a vast collection of wavetable oscillators, a dozen gorgeous stereo filters, along with a humongous PCM sample library and a host of modulators, the Korg modwave launches you into a deep and immersive world of exploratory sound design. Yet, with its compact 37-key keyboard and remarkably intuitive user interface, the modwave is anything but overwhelming — it’s a fun and interactive synth that will appeal to seasoned and aspiring synthesists alike. Plus, synthesists at Sweetwater are ecstatic over the inclusion of a built-in Kaoss Pad, which facilitates incredibly expressive performances. Let your imagination soar and tap into new sonic dimensions with the modwave wavetable synthesizer from Korg!
Korg modwave Wavetable Synthesizer Features:
- Loaded with over 200 characterful wavetables, each with up to 64 waveforms
- Modifier and morph features allow for a staggering 230 million wavetable variations
- 2-oscillator structure with 2-part multi-timbrality and 32-note polyphony
- Includes modeled MS-20 lowpass/highpass filters, modeled Polysix lowpass filter, and Korg multimode filter
- Plenty of modulation with 4 envelopes, 5 LFOs, and aftertouch
- 4 programmable Mod knobs give you custom access to whatever parameters you’d like to tweak most often
- Motion Sequencing 2.0 allows you to manipulate sample sequence, timing, and pitch independently to create complex, evolving patches with a non-linear vibe
- “Lanes” provide unique ways to manipulate pitch, sample duration, gate times, step sequencer values, and much more
- Layer samples over wavetables from the included multi-gigabyte PCM library
- 13 morph types for stretching, squeezing, and altering wavetables in real-time
- Massive collection of built-in distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb effects
- Ample hands-on control over practically all parameters
- Built-in Kaoss Pad with Kaoss Physics encourages unprecedented interactivity
- 37 full-size keys balance playability and portability; key zoning for splitting and layering sounds
