New Wavestate mkII, with improved polyphony (96 stereo voices) and a new look. It is fully compatible with sounds and samples from the original wavestate, wavestate SE and native wavestate software, including many excellent third-party libraries. Updating sounds and software keeps the instrument fresh. With its compact size and 37 full-size keys, it's always easy to carry and fits perfectly into any stage, studio or office setup.

KORG's legendary Wavestation introduced Wave Sequencing to the world, transforming raw samples into sounds no one had ever heard before.
The flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards have taken Wave Sequencing even further, expanding its unique palette of lush, evolving layers and driving rhythms.


In 2020, the acclaimed Wavestate took Wave Sequencing to the next level.
Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the Wavestate offers stunning, ever-changing sounds and extensive manual control.
Far from being a nostalgic reissue, the Wavestate has been designed from the ground up for a new generation of musicians, producers and composers, drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes and algorithmic composition.

The Wavestate has also introduced another revolutionary concept: the native Wavestate software (*sold separately, Wavestate users can buy it at a reduced price) makes it available within your DAW, with full compatibility and no compromises.
It's the ideal way to move seamlessly from one piece of software to another and from one piece of hardware to another.
