Korg Wavestate SE 61-Note Digital Wave Sequencing Synthesizer with Case - Black

The iconic WAVESTATION from KORG introduced the world to Wave Sequencing, transforming raw samples into sounds never heard before. This was pushed even further with the release of the flagship OASYS and KRONOS keyboards, expanding on the unique palette of rich, morphing pads, and driving rhythms. Now, KORG is pleased to unveil the flagship wavestate SE. Constructed in Japan, the wavestate SE employs KORG's premium 61-note natural-touch keyboard with aftertouch, delivering the same incredible feel and performance as KORG's finest workstations. The robust metal body is sleek, and ready for gigs and studio sessions alike, and the metal knobs have a gratifying weight while tweaking. wavestate SE also includes an astonishing 120 stereo voices of polyphony - almost doubling the capabilities of the original wavestate. The wavestate SE includes hundreds of sounds, refined for aftertouch control, and is completely compatible with sounds and samples for both the original wavestate, and wavestate native - including a selection of fantastic third-party libraries. Features 61-note natural-feel keyboard with aftertouch Hundreds of updated sounds Elegant, road-worthy metal construction Exclusive hard case included Premium Japanese manufacturing Wave Sequencing 2.0 Extensive modulation with hands-on control Gigabytes of samples - and import up to 4GB of your own Modeled filters, including MS-20 and Polysix 120 stereo voices 4 Layers with Vector control 14 simultaneous effects Set Lists and Smooth Sound Transitions Randomization Free Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder software for Mac and Windows Premium Aluminum and Metal Enclosure With a sleek matte-black aluminum panel perfectly contrasting the gloss-black metal side panels, wavestate SE's sophisticated all-metal construction isn't just a joy to look at, it was designed to withstand the rigors of the road - and the metal-plated control knobs add a premium edge. Exclusive Hard Case Included Including a dedicated hardcase, with space for storing cables and pedals, you can protect, transport, and store your wavestate SE with confidence, whether you're packing it up for tour, or just  rehearsing downtown. Easily Expressive. Exceptionally Deep. Loaded with knobs and control surfaces, the wavestate SE encourages sonic exploration. Traditional controls like filters, envelopes, LFOs, and effects are right at your fingertips with the dedicated front-panel controls. Eight fully customizable and programmable Mod Knobs get the most out of every sound, allowing you to take them in uncharted directions. Use the knobs in real time to manipulate your performance, and save the results as new sounds - and when you add in the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, along with the unique Vector Joystick, you have multiple avenues of realtime expression. If you want to go deeper, almost every front-panel control, and most on-screen parameters can be modulated, and you can even modulate settings for individual Wave Sequence steps. Mod Processors allow you to morph modulation signals using quantization, smoothing, curvature, and more. Randomization that Inspires If more inspiration is what you crave, a dedicated dice button on the front panel generates new sounds via intelligent randomization. Randomize the whole sound, or just aspects of it, like the filter, the Sample Lane, or the effects. Keep the results you find, or use them as a starting point to create your own unique sounds and textures. Gigabytes of Samples. 120 Stereo Voices. The wavestate SE's sample library is over a thousand times bigger than it's predecessor. Featuring a bank of samples from Plugin Guru, all-new samples from KORG, and a selection from the NAUTILUS, KRONUS, and KROME collections. Play up to 120 stereo voices with unparalleled detail and articulation with KORG's exclusive anti-aliasing sample playback technology, or import up to 4GB of your own multisamples into the wavestate SE using the free Sample Builder app for Mac and Windows. An Arsenal of Effects. The studio-grade effects included in wavestate SE give you access to production-ready sounds. Each layer contains three dedicated effects, and in addition, the performance features a master reverb and parametric EQ. Not only does wavestate SE give you traditional effects like compressors, EQ, choruses, flangers, phasers, and stereo delays, you get access to exclusive processors like the Wave Shaper, Talking Modulator, Reverse Delay, Multiband Mod Delay, and Overb, as well as modeled effects like VOX guitar amplifiers, wah, multi-head tape echo, and a selection of classic guitar stompboxes. Plays Well with Others. With balanced stereo outputs, you can connect wavestate SE to any recording or monitoring system, and the stereo headphone output allows for silent rehearsal or on-stage cueing. The wavestate SE also supports MIDI compatibility and class-compliant USB MIDI connections to Windows and Mac computers. Free Bundle of Music Software. The wavestate SE features a collection of music software from Izotope, including Ozone Elements, which allows you to create songs and master them with intelligent AI, and Skoove, which assists you with honing your keyboard and synth playing skills. The moment you get your hands on a wavestate SE, you gain access to a range of tools to take your music to new heights.
