Wave sequencing synthesis is a form of audio synthesis that was originally invented by Korg. Korg WaveState What is wave sequencing synthesis? In an attempt to avoid a nostalgic replica, Korg has worked hard on implementing new features that set their new product apart from the original. Improving on the wave sequencing from the Wavestation of the 90’s, the Wavestate is equipped with Wave Sequencing 2.0. The Wavestate uses wave sequencing synthesis to produce its sounds and textures. 30 years later, there is an all-improved little brother bursting onto the scene where the big brother left off, the Korg Wavestate. Since Korg focused on other flagship products in their range – like the Trinity Workstation and the Prophecy synthesiser in the mid-90s – Wavestation technology was put aside. Originally released for sale in 1990, The WS-1 was the first synthesiser to be born into the Wavestation family. The new Wavestate builds upon Korg Wavestation’s legacy. Both share some similarities, such as shape, appearance and some basic functions but they both approach synthesis differently. Let’s take a look. Today we are going to have a look at 2 powerful machines in Korg’s digital synthesis lineup, the Korg Wavestate and the Korg Opsix. Korg has produced a lot of revolutionary electronic musical technology since their Disc Rotary Electric Auto Rhythm Machine, Donca Metic DA-20 in 1962 and continues to release relevant workstations, synthesisers and drum machines to this day. None more so than the digital synthesisers Korg is currently producing. Although there is still quite an appetite for analogue synthesisers, there are a lot of new digital synthesisers that have been impressing us in the last few years.
