Features and functionality
-
The tilt gesture misses 10% of its range, sending MIDI values between 6 and 120 instead of the full 0-127 range, possibly due to calibration issues.
Source -
Crosstalk between pan, tilt, and roll gestures is present, affecting simultaneous control accuracy.
Source -
The Wave ring allows for numerous presets with more than 100 possible configurations, surpassing the Neova’s 4 banks of 4 slots, which can feel limiting.
Source
Software and compatibility
-
Users report Bluetooth connectivity issues, notably with Mac Mini, affecting the device's reliability.
Source -
Connectivity problems can sometimes be resolved by unpairing the device in Windows settings and reconnecting through the Softwave application.
Source -
The Wave ring requires a separate Widi Master for BLE connectivity, whereas Neova uses a proprietary protocol for sub-millisecond latency through its hub.

Thanks @genkiinstruments for sending me a Wave ring to check out! Having fun assigning gesture control to whatever I want, using Softwave for stuff in Ableton and (my fave of course) their Wavefront module for Eurorack. 💖 #wavering #eurorack #modular #modularsynth #ad
Quoted on the official Wavefront product page.
Wave and Wavefront are an incredibly awesome package for controlling your modular in a very expressive way.
Quoted and pictured on the official product page. DiVinCi later released two videos for Genki Instruments covering the Wave, released here and here on December 18, 2020. The Wave is also specified as part of his live rig on his Kit page.
I use Wave to get a deeper flow state quicker and stay there when I'm performing.
