NAMM 2024: In yet another big gear announcement from Korg, the manufacturer has revealed three desktop versions of some of its most popular synthesizers: Wavestate, Modwave and Opsix. If you liked the look of these instruments but you've no need for a keyboard or fancy integrating them into a rackmount set-up, it's your lucky day.
Korg's Wavestate is a 21st-century reimagining of the Wavestation, a digital wave sequencing synth made by the company in the '90s. Wavestate mkII was released in June last year, expanding the original's polyphony from 64 stereo voices to 96 and adding a variety of newly designed Wave Sequences and Programs, along with expanded internal storage and redesigned companion software, Wavestate Editor/Librarian. The desktop version's polyphony has been boosted up to 120 voices, and the synth is priced at £649/€749.
