Includes SKB hard-shell keyboard case, a $200+ value. This instrument retailed for over $2000 when it was released. The WAVE STATION 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. Includes all manuals (both original and aftermarket) and original PCM cards, including WSC-1S (Piano) and WPC-11 (Performance 11). The WAVE STATION was the first synthesizer that enabled wave sequencing. Keyboard Magazine readers gave the Wavestation its "Hardware Innovation of the Year" award, and in 1995 Keyboard listed it as one of the "20 Instruments that Shook the World." Despite its age, it is a well made, heavy duty board and controller, with features and a purpose that has its own niche even to this day. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London, Genesis, Jan Hammer, Depeche Mode, Toto, Vangelis, Legendary Pink Dots, Biosphere and Sin. It is a professional musical instrument, a true synthesizer. It does not record, does not have lighted keys, and does not provide automatic accompaniment to your songs. It should be noted that this keyboard is not a toy. It also includes 8 multi-effects including: Mod Pitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdrive and Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and addional MIDI implementation and control versus the original Wavestation. The Wavestation EX has 4MB of waveforms including acoustic instruments and drums. The Wavestation's MIDI implementation is exemplary, with 16-channel multi-mode reception and robust and detailed sys-ex control over all parameters. Its primary innovation was Wave Sequencing, a method of multi-timbral sound generation in which different PCM waveform data are played successively, resulting in continuously evolving sounds.Īs a master keyboard, it can split the keyboard up by zones and velocities and send on up to 8 different MIDI channels. Korg Wavestation EX synthesizer with SKB hardshell case.ĭesigned as a "pure" synthesizer rather than a music workstation, the Wavestation is capable of generating complex, lush timbres and rhythmic sequences that sound like a complete soundtrack by pressing only one key.
