For the hardware, we analyzed the circuit diagrams of the original design, and completely replicated the circuitry in software down to the last detail. The new iWAVESTATION also reproduces in software every detail of each parameter. In the KORG Collection WAVESTATION providing the sounds from all PCM memories of the WAVESTATION. When you create a patch using multiple oscillators, the WAVESTATION lets you use vector synthesis to freely configure how the sound is modulated. The WAVESTATION differs most greatly from other synthesizers in how it lets you freely design and play wave sequences. A wave sequence cross-fades a variety of waveforms, smoothly connecting these waveforms to let you play them. The WAVESTATION was the first synthesizer that enabled wave sequencing.

often compared tosort of a sample based wavetable synthesizer (ppg wave and waldorf wave and microwave series) part of the newer Korg Legacy (analog) software collection and ms20-like controller the wavestation got some resurrection.A complete reproduction of the advanced vector synthesis system only the trintiy, triton had higher sample rates. the samples are all at 32khz sample rate. there is a keyboard version, an expanded version called wavestation EX and a nice A/D version featuring a stereo input that can be used to feed the internal FX processor (vocoder inside!but AD only (2 unit 19" or KB)) ! 19" rack (1 unit high called SR) was also available. samples that make a "resonant" sound when played sample for sample through the "cue list". the filter had no resonance so you had to make a wave sequence that simply plays div. its the same samples as those used for the vector synthesis. the other big thing here is the WAVESEQUENCE, with wavesequences you can play midisynced lists of samples, that can be edited on the wavestation. Korg Wavestation - 1-4 vector DCOs that can play samples includes all waves of the sequential prophet VS, with vector envelope you could record the volume amounts of those 4 Oscillators by an x-y axis joystick controlled field.


3 complex envelopes (pitch, filter, amp) for 2 layers (thats why it's 2x each env type), extra vector movement envelope. DETAILS 16track sequencer and 4MB ROM (M1 ex : 8MB ROM), some FX (2 units) and filters without resonance became studio standard the late 80ies.
