Description
The new Modwave mkII provides an astonishing 60 voices of polyphony, an unprecedented amount in its class, and almost double that of the original Modwave. All LFOs have been updated with options for free running, delayed start, and retriggering, and a pre/post switch for reverb sends has been added, alongside, new modulation sources, and more.
In 1985, Korg introduced the DW-8000 – a synth which combined digital wavetables with rich analogue filters to give users sounds which were impossible to create with analogue oscillators. Modwave builds on the DW legacy, transforming it into a modern monster synth, featuring incredibly deep wavetable oscillators, gorgeous filters, wildly flexible modulation, unmatched polyphony, comprehensive pattern sequencing, and immediately satisfying hands-on control to deliver unique, powerful, and easily customizable sounds and phrases.
Key Features:
- Expanded Possibilities:
Modwave can be expanded by importing new wavetables using the free Editor/Librarian software. There are many free and commercial wavetable libraries in the standard Serum format, or you can create your own using the free, cross-platform WaveEdit software (available in a custom version for the Modwave). Wavetables can be layered with samples from the built-in, multi-gigabyte PCM library, or import your own 4 GB of samples using Korg’s Sample Builder software. - Kaoss Physics:
Kaoss Physics models a ball rolling on a surface and bouncing off walls. The surface can tilt in any direction, and a bump with variable height/depth and location attracts or repels the ball. Adjustable friction slows the ball’s travel, and adjustable time controls the speed of the entire model. All of these characteristics are modulatable, so you can change them in real-time! - Motion Sequencing 2.0:
Motion Sequencing 2.0 is evolved from the Wavestate’s Wave Sequencing 2.0. Timing, Pitch, Shape, and four sets of Step Sequence values are separated into “Lanes,” each with their own loop start and loop end, adding a deeper, more customizable level of phrase and modulation recording.
