Korg have updated their powerful Wavestate synthesiser’s system firmware to version 1.0.4 which includes a long list of performance tweaks and fixes (see the full list below). Given the extensive (perhaps that’s an understatement) editing capabilities of this machine, it was only a matter of time before people found ways to bring it to its knees. Now it appears that task will be substantially more difficult.
If you were one of those adventurous Wavesequencing enthusiasts who particularly enjoyed spending your time ‘rapidly and repeatedly selecting a Performance, editing, and then selecting a new Performance’, you can now do so with no fear of crashing the operating system. Joking aside, there are some very practical updates here relating to tempo synchronization and MIDI clocks. Given the Wavestate’s mind bending potential for sophisticated multi-layered sequencing, this will no doubt help creatively ambitious musicians push the bar even further.
The 1.0.4 update is available to download for free from Korg’s website here.
For a reminder of what this amazing synth is capable of check out our video tutorial series, and our recent ‘Musical Oddities’ video which also features some of the more unusual UAD plugins for extra lunacy.

Here are a couple of hundred sounds; two bundles that I made for Korg Wavestate.
The JEDI STATION Bundle is going to transform Your Wavestate into a Sacred Instrument. Take Care. As a Composer,
and Sound Designer, before starting a new work, I prepare every time a complete set of sounds, and renew my machine,
reinventing a palette that shall inspire me and help me to express my ideas, thoughts, mood, understanding and state.
So, as "Life is a state of mind" quote Chancy Gardner.... "Waves are a State of Plasmatic Matter not yet condensed into a Kosha....", anyhow... wonderful brain, just build a keyboard around it please. This is still a limited tool to work on colours and palettes.
Anyhow, Sound Patches can be found here.
