The legendary Wavestation from KORG launched the world to wave sequencing by changing uncooked samples into sounds that nobody had ever heard earlier than. The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards have taken the wave sequence even additional, increasing their distinctive palette of juicy, evolving pads and driving rhythms.
Now KORG is proud to announce the subsequent step in digital synthesis: Wave State. That includes a radically reimagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, wave state delivers wonderful, ever-changing sounds with ample hands-on management.
Removed from being a nostalgic reissue, wavestate is designed from the bottom up for a brand new technology of musicians, producers and composers taking cues from sources as numerous as modular synths, groove bins and algorithmic composition. The compact kind issue with 37 full-size keys is straightforward to move and matches neatly into any stage, studio or desktop setup.
Ableton Dwell: program adjustments are slower than anticipated for VST3 devices normally, on each Home windows and macOS. The slowness seems to be extra noticeable for plug-ins with giant numbers of automatable parameters, together with wavestate native. On macOS, we advise utilizing the AU model of wavestate native as a workaround. Ableton is conscious of this difficulty.
Help for a number of simultaneous consumer Consumer Pattern Banks
Added help for a number of simultaneous consumer Consumer Pattern Banks.
Eliminated the outdated Consumer Pattern Financial institution choice from the Settings dialog.
Added the brand new Consumer Pattern Banks… most important menu command and dialog. All Consumer Pattern Banks should be positioned on the root stage of the folder chosen within the dialog; sub-folders usually are not supported. We extremely suggest that this folder be positioned on an SSD, and never on a rotational exhausting drive. As much as 65,535 Banks are supported; notice that very excessive numbers of financial institution information might trigger noticeable slowness when checking the contents of the folder and including Banks (see beneath).
Each time wavestate native instantiates, it checks the contents of the chosen folder. if there was a change within the variety of information, or the names, sizes, or modification dates of the information, the Consumer Pattern Financial institution portion of the database might be cleared (to take away probably out of date references); all the financial institution information within the folder will then be added to the database. With fashionable computer systems and SSDs, and an affordable variety of Banks, this must be accomplished in a short time.
Urgent OK within the “Consumer Pattern Banks…” dialog additionally goes by the method above. Use this to replace the database should you’ve added information to the folder whereas wavestate native is already working.
Particular person Multisamples are recognized by UUID (see the Pattern Builder guide for extra particulars), and never by the Financial institution which comprises them. Which means it’s potential for a similar Multisample to be included in a number of Banks. If this occurs, the Multisample is loaded solely as soon as, from the last-added Financial institution (Banks are added in alphabetical order: 0-9, AZ, az). The Multisample’s supply Financial institution is proven on the backside of the Inspector within the Sound Browser.
Pattern begin buffers are actually loaded as required, when Performances are chosen. (Beforehand, all pattern begin buffers have been loaded at startup.) This reduces startup time, and will dramatically scale back reminiscence utilization when working a number of cases in hosts which load every occasion in a separate, sandboxed setting. It additionally facilitates the brand new help for a number of simultaneous Consumer Pattern Banks.
Sound choice and Librarian

Poly: The mod supply “Aftertouch” receives Poly Aftertouch. Channel Aftertouch is ignored.
Channel+Poly: The mod supply “Aftertouch” receives each Channel and Poly Aftertouch. If each are despatched concurrently, the latest worth is used.
When hovering over a parameter with a dragged mod supply (eg Amp LFO), the modulation inspector now instantly switches to indicate the data for that parameter. When hovering over a parameter which can’t be modulated (both it could possibly’t be modulated in any respect, or it could possibly’t be modulated by way of the dragged supply), an informative message is proven.
Knobs with built-in modulations (equivalent to filter cutoff with lfo, env, and so forth) now at all times present the orange modulated worth indicator. Beforehand, they might not achieve this till a user-created modulation routing was added.
Mounted modulation routings, equivalent to Filter LFO to Filter Cutoff, are actually included within the Mod Inspector and Mod Listing. These routings are marked by a lock icon, and differ from user-created modulation routings in a number of methods: they can’t be deleted, the mod supply can’t be modified, and there’s no second modulation supply.
Amp Envelope and Amp velocity are actually included within the amp stage knob’s modulated worth dot indicator.
For those who drag a modulation supply (eg Filter Envelope) over a web page tab equivalent to Synthesis or Wave Sequence, the web page will change accordingly. You may then drag the modulation supply to the specified parameter to create a brand new modulation routing.
Beforehand, modulations to Reverb Moist/Dry appeared twice within the Mod Listing. This has now been fastened.
When creating a brand new mod routing to a “built-in depth” routing, such because the knob for Filter Env -> Filter Cutoff, the primary mod supply (eg Filter Envelope) is meant to be fastened and never editable. This now works correctly. Beforehand, it was inadvertently editable instantly after creating the routing, earlier than clicking away to indicate modulation for one more parameter.
After making a mod supply utilizing drag and drop, utilizing undo adopted by redo didn’t restore the mod supply accurately. This has now been fastened.
Corrected the textual content of the automation worth strings for mod processor Gate supply/fixed-value change.
When all Layers are disabled, modulation checklist scope/part buttons are actually dimmed accurately.
Filter graphics are actually animated to indicate modulated values.
In Mod Processor Form, the impact of the Curve parameter was inadvertently reversed for Symmetric mode. This has now been fastened. Beforehand created sounds are detected and transformed, in order that they’ll nonetheless sound the identical.
“Present In Mod Listing” will be set to indicate all mod routings (“All”), solely Efficiency-level routings, or solely routings within the present Layer (eg Layer B). If that is set to the present Layer, after which a brand new Layer is chosen by clicking on the Program names on the left aspect of the window, Present In Mod Listing now adjustments to indicate the newly chosen Layer as a substitute of reverting to All.
Program Mod Knobs now seem accurately within the Mod Listing.
Poly Legato now seems on the modulation supply Turbines checklist
Midi Be taught for CC Assignments now works accurately from the Settings window.
Beforehand, dragging modulation sources to Amp LFO or Amp Keytrack didn’t create a modulation routing. This has now been fastened.
Disabled mouse-wheel worth enhancing in Mod Inspector, to keep away from by accident altering values when scrolling checklist with mouse wheel.
Renamed Synthesis web page Amp LFO knob to LFO.
Vector envelope launch now begins from the present place of the envelope.
Wave Sequence
Beforehand, Wave Sequence Step parameters may stay within the modulation inspector after clicking on an unrelated step parameter. This has now been fastened.
Every of the 64 Pattern Step Multisample Selectors now maintains its personal filtering for Class/Assortment/search textual content. Word that these are nonetheless cleared at Efficiency/Program/Wave Sequence/Pattern Lane adjustments, as with different Selector filter states.
Modified title of Choose/Save dialog for Grasp Lane to “Grasp Lane” as a substitute of simply “Grasp.”
When the Wave Sequence is modified, Step choice is now cleared, and the Timing Lane is proven within the Wave Sequence Inspector
If multiple Wave Sequence Step is chosen, the Step Inspector is now cleared.
