If anybody is considering a new piece of hardware, its definately worth a said: But the wavestate is nothing like that, you can go from conventional piano sound to constantly evolving slow atmospheric soundscapes in just several minutes. playing around with the filters in the wavestation made hardly any discernable change to the sound, or maybe that was just me not knowing how to use it properly). I never got into the wavestation as it was too much of a pain in the butt to use, and I always found you could twiddle knobs and there would be virtually no change at all (i.e. Well I suppose you could say its similar to the original wavestation, which I do have for my iPad, but it doesn't actually feel anything at all like the wavestation IMO, just shares a similar concept, but the execution and use and feel and outcome between the wavestation and wavestate is vastly different.
The Modal Argon8 currently feels like a more limited, old-school, but less overwhelming proposition to me.I got my Wavestate a couple of days ago, still finding my way around as it has a very steep learning curve as its very unique, unlike nothing else.
I’m just a bit scared of the complexity here. Depending on the UI (the fact that it’s all potentiometers is scaring me a bit), how easy it is to program and how it really sounds this could be a candidate. So I’d also love to hear some less marketing-oriented sounds, because apart from that, it seems like a very interesting synth.įor various reasons, I’ve been holding off from buying a keyboard synth for some years now, but if I am finally able to get a live project going again, I’ll definitely need something playable with a keyboard. It sounds like everything I have always hated in 90s synths, just cleaner. I must say that the preset sounds – as usual – completely turn me off. I don’t think we can call analogue synths that don’t let you draw your own waveforms preset machines, can we? Also, Korg might indeed add that in the future, they do listen to user requests sometimes.
Though calling it a preset machine is probably a bit exagerated.
The current lack of user-definable waves is certainly a pity.
