Introducing the KORG wavestate SE and SE Platinum
Introducing the wavestate SE Platinum
The wavestate SE Platinum from Korg transfers the famous wave sequencing synthesis from the wavestation built from 1990-1994 into a new age! The 61-key keyboard synthesizer scores with the new Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis, which was introduced in the wavestate 1 and is also easy to use. The advanced sound generation is complemented by twelve filter models and four powerful effect blocks that provide delay, reverb, modulation and special effects. Based on the mk II version, the wavestate SE also has more memory. In plain language this means up to 4 GB of memory for the sample library, several tens of thousands of performances storable, 799 programs and 1042 wavesequences.
The SE Platinum Version
The Platinum version of the wavestate SE differs from the SE version in purely cosmetic aspects, technically both are identical. The high-quality metallic design with silver-colored aluminum control panel and stainless steel side panels elegantly sets the instrument in scene. The scope of delivery includes an attractively designed transport case, which optimally protects the wavestate SE Platinum on the road and during longer periods of non-use, as well as an exclusive sticker set.
The sound generation of the wavestate SE Platinum
The core of Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis is that duration, sample and pitch can be assigned to each step of a wavesequence. Timing, sequence, note duration, sequence values and further parameters are summarized under the term "lanes" and can be defined in more detail with loop positions, number of steps and insert point. In interaction with the four envelopes, three LFOs, velocity, modulation wheel and other sources, a complex sound construct is created that cannot be compared with any other synthesizer at present. Within the sequences there is also the possibility to insert coincidences or to modulate the steps from 0-100 percent with probability.
Filters and effects
The wavestate SE Platinum has both: twelve filter models have been implemented to suit every taste. Among them are the Korg classics MS-20 Lowpass and MS-20 Highpass which are much more biting in sound and the powerful, round Polysix filter. There are four effect blocks per layer, which provide various Delay and Reverb algorithms, modulation effects such as Phaser or chorus, but also parametric equalizer, compressor and special effects (Pre FX).
Fluid operation
The performance-oriented operation of the wavestate SE Platinum is noticeable through the numerous control elements, which are also characterized by only a few double assignments. All sound-relevant parameters are directly accessible, selected parameters can be assigned to the eight white knobs as desired. Since the sound generation of the wavestate SE Platinum consists of four layers, the perfect means to adjust their levels is the handy Vector joystick. The large Display contributes a lot to the optimal overview and handling.
Sounds for eternity
The wavestate SE Platinum is an eldorado for sound tinkerers. Modulations and variations of what you might expect from a well-equipped modular system enliven the sound of this synthesizer in an amazing way. The bulging sample memory with a capacity of four gigabytes also contributes to this. If there is a lack of inspiration or a new variant that you haven't thought of yet? Just press the cube button and the intelligent random function will recompose a part of the sound or even the whole layer.
