The modwave costs €799 with the release date to be announced. It also features a multi-gigabyte PCM sound library and 32 voices of polyphony.īy all accounts, it’s a very powerful synth, and it’s good to see more manufacturers expand beyond subtractive synthesis into something more unique. Of the new synth, Korg said: “modwave builds on the DW legacy and transforms 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”. Modulation is the name of the game, with the aforementioned Kaoss pad coupled with four envelopes, five LFOs, dual mod processors, and two key-track generators. The modwave inspired by Korg’s original DW-8000 synth, combining analogue filters with wavetable oscillators. The Korg Minilogue Bass is a powerful four-voice polyphonic synthesizer that builds on the design of the original Minilogue, with 100 exclusive preset patches crafted by leading bass and synth programmers. The modwave takes things further, expanding on Korg’s already rich legacy in wavetable synthesis to offering a new Kaoss Pad-style X/Y pad for creating ‘Kaoss physics’ and an upgrade to their motion recording feature. Korg modwave is a digital wavetable synth that builds on the DW legacy and transforms it into a modern monster synth, featuring incredibly deep wavetable.

Korg has announced a new synth called the modwave, building on Wavestate synth announced in 2020.
