Korg have released a digital mobile version of their powerful synth from the 90s so that you have all the power of the Wavestation in the palm of your hands.

Wavestation was an awesome wave sequence synthesizer released in 1990 by Korg. It featured advanced vector synthesis which combined and connected different waveforms to create new and unique sounds.

Korg have now released iWavestation for iPad and Iphone, an app that completely recreates the synth with a brand new design that brings a whole new experience to experimenting with the sounds and capabilities of the Wavestation. With all the sounds and functions taken directly from the original Wavestation the app faithfully recreates the synth in digital form whilst adding features like the visualisation of waveforms for in-depth tuning of your sounds.

iWavestation features:

  • A faithful reproduction of the original Wavestation sound: In addition to providing the sounds from all PCM memories of the Wavestation, the new iWavestation also reproduces in software every detail of the parameters, based on an analysis of the original hardware circuit diagram.
  • A new wave sequence view that can be graphically controlled: The iWavestation, we advance another step with a graphical user interface that takes advantage of the touch operations that are a characteristic of iOS. Even more than ever, we’ve updated the screen design with an emphasis on creating sequences.
  • 1,500 sounds, more than 700 waveforms, 55 effects, and a powerful random sequence engine: This new instrument includes a stupendous number of presets and waveforms, covering all models of the series. iWavestation also provides a new random sequence function which will give you different perspectives to inspire new sounds.
  • Produce music together with KORG Gadget integration: iWavestation can be used in conjunction with the “KORG Gadget” music production DAW app that has won numerous awards around the world. If both apps are installed, it can be used as the “Milpitas” gadget inside the KORG Gadget app.
Korg iWavestation is available from the Apple App Store now for $19.99.
