KORG MODWAVE MKII Wavetable Synthesizer

What’s New in MODWAVE MKII:

• Almost Double the Polyphony: Enjoy an astonishing 60 voices of polyphony, almost double that of the original MODWAVE.
• Expanded Free-Running LFOs: Updated LFOs now offer options for free running, delayed start, and retriggering.
• Enhanced Modulation Sources: Discover new modulation sources and an improved synthesis engine.

In 1985, KORG’s DW-8000 merged digital wavetables with analog filters, creating sounds previously unattainable with analog oscillators. The DW-8000 remains a cult favorite to this day. Building upon this legacy, the MODWAVE MKII transforms it into a modern monster synthesizer, featuring exceptionally deep wavetable oscillators, exquisite filters, versatile modulation options, unrivaled polyphony, comprehensive pattern sequencing, and an intuitive hands-on interface for crafting unique and easily customizable sounds and phrases.

Dynamic Motion with Kaoss Physics: MODWAVE introduces two innovative tools for dynamic motion:

• Kaoss Physics: This feature combines an x/y Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics, offering a responsive and interactive controller that adds a new dimension of creativity to your music production.
• Motion Sequencing 2.0: Experience the evolution of wavetable synthesis with continuously evolving patterns, multiple lanes, and real-time recording, enabling you to craft complex and evolving phrases beyond the capabilities of traditional step sequencers.

Endless Sound Possibilities: MODWAVE’s evolved wavetable synthesis delivers unique sounds, from aggressive basses and leads to lush ambient pads. The knob-per-function layout ensures effortless sound customization, and hundreds of preset sounds are organized by front-panel category buttons, instantly customizable via the four Mod Knobs.

For those eager to explore further, MODWAVE’s unique synth architecture offers endless discovery. Save as many sounds as you like, import your samples, and create custom wavetables using the free WaveEdit software.
