Description
Unleash your creativity with the KORG wavestate native, a software plugin that redefines synthesis for the modern musician. Drawing from the legacy of the iconic Wavestation, this synth plugin introduces the groundbreaking Wave Sequencing 2.0, a technology that offers a dynamic and evolving soundscape, perfect for producers and composers seeking fresh inspiration. Ideal for use both in the studio and on stage, wavestate native seamlessly bridges the gap between hardware and software, allowing you to craft and exchange sounds effortlessly.

Each performance can include up to 4,000 modulation destinations, ensuring every nuance of your sound is unique and expressive.
The plugin boasts an extensive library of high-quality samples, drawing from KORG’s rich history and new contributions, including those from the KRONOS and Krome series. With 64 stereo voices and a host of modeled filters, including the legendary MS-20 and Polysix, the wavestate native delivers pristine audio quality and a vintage character.
Whether you’re looking to dive into deep sound design or need quick inspiration, the intelligent randomization feature and an arsenal of 14 effects, including compressors, reverbs, and unique processors, have you covered.
