Synthesis Powerhouse

Introducing modwave mkII – now with almost double the polyphony, expanded free-running LFOs, and more! There are hundreds of preset sounds empowered by this new architecture, organized by front-panel category buttons, and all instantly customizable via the four Mod Knobs. The new modwave mkII provides an astonishing 60 voices of polyphony and an unprecedented number for a wavetable synth at any price.

Modwave Synthesis Engine

When we call the wavetable oscillators “deep,” we are not kidding. Start with over 200 wavetables, each containing up to 64 waveforms. Quick math: that’s over 230 million wavetable variations out of the box, and that’s before you even add modulation. Even with all that synthesis power, playing up to four simultaneous wavetables per voice in a single Program, the modwave mkII achieves 60-voice polyphony, incredible for a wavetable synth.

Kaoss Physics

Kaoss Physics models a ball rolling on a surface and bouncing off of walls. The surface can tilt in any direction. 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.

Designed by KORG R&D in California

KORG R&D created the wavestate and the original Wavestation, co-created the OASYS and KRONOS, and has developed fundamental technologies behind many other KORG instruments. The modwave reflects their unique aesthetic, delivering stunning sound, deep flexibility, and immediate physical control via cutting-edge technologies. Sound designers from the wavestate, Airwave and Peter “Ski” Schwartz, joined Francis Preve, Richard Devine, and the KORG voicing team to create the modwave’s sound library.

• Deep Wavetable Synth Engine: Over 200 Wavetables to explore with up to 64 waveforms–over 230 million wavetable variations via modwave’s modifier and morph features
• Modulation Controls: Oscillators, filter, envelopes, LFOs, and effects are all at your fingertips with dedicated frontpanel controls. Almost all front-panel knobs, and most on-screen parameters, can be modulated.
• Kaoss Physics: Combines an x/y Kaoss pad with modulatable game physics to create a responsive, interactive controller that is—besides being powerful— a lot of fun to explore.
• Motion Sequencing 2.0: Brings the organic, continuously evolving patterns of the wavestate’s Wave Sequencing 2.0 into the world of motion sequencing, including multiple lanes and real-time recording to help you create complex and evolving phrases that other step sequencers cannot
