WAVESTATION: The Huge Leap Forward!

Korg Legacy Collection
Originally part of the first Korg Legacy Collection and later the Korg Legacy Collection: Digital Edition the WAVESTATION is now available individually. As the original manufacturer, Korg is uniquely qualified to recreate our vintage digital synthesizers as software instruments. The WAVESTATION is designed to run as a stand-alone program; or as a VST, AU or RTAS Plug-in, making it compatible with nearly any DAW software studio package.

• 256-note polyphony (Maximum)
• 1 Part
• Over1,400 Preset sounds
• 700 PCM Waveforms
• 55 Types of on-board effects

In 1990, the WAVESTATION introduced the world to both Advanced Vector Synthesis and Wave Sequencing, winning numerous awards and legions of fans. The software addition of a graphic interface and the possibilities of MIDI sync have breathed new life into the WAVESTATION. The addition of resonant filters is another triumph for the fans of this unique instrument. In addition to the entire series' RAM and ROM banks, the WAVESTATION adds all the data contained in the six long-sought-after ROM cards for a total of over 1,450 sounds!
