Product description

A new model that stimulates the music production environment with extreme sound.

Introducing the modwave module – all of the features of the modwave mkII in a compact 19″ desktop/rackmount package.

modwave builds on the legacy of KORG’s DW-8000 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 to deliver unique, powerful, and easily customizable sounds and phrases.

60 voices of polyphony, updated LFOs, and more

Like modwave mkII, the modwave module provides an astonishing 60 stereo voices of polyphony – almost double the original modwave’s 32, and an unprecedented number for a wavetable synth at any price. The new 4U rack-mount enclosure has the same controls as the keyboard models, yet is easily transportable and fits neatly into any studio or desktop production system.

MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and Polyphonic Aftertouch support

With the latest software updates, all models of modwave, hardware and software, now support MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and easy access to Polyphonic Aftertouch – making them excellent companions to KORG’s Keystage controller.

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.
