If like me, your mind was already beginning to smoke at the sheer amount of variants available you you with the wave sequencing parameters, prepare yourself for more. There’s a good selection of algorithms in this lot, though I would like to have seen a way to exclude a layer from the master FX. Reverb: Overb - lush longer verbs and Early Reflections - for small ambiences.Delay: LCR/Multiband Mod/Reverse/Stereo/Tape Echo.Mod: Chorus/Flanger/Phaser/Ensemble/Wah - all with some sub modes.Pre FX: EQ/compression - various types/guitar amp, ring modulator, tremolo, waveshaper.
LFO X4: Filter, AMP, Pitch, Pan - have multiple complex waves and fade in times, but don’t go all that high up into audio rates. You can adjust the curves and trigger each from an incoming source such as mod wheel with a threshold level - not seen that before Ok, let’s talk about filters - it's a digital filter with: 2-pole LPF, 2-pole HPF, 2-pole BPF,2-pole Band Reject, 4-pole LPF, 4-pole HPF, 4-pole BPF, 4-pole Band Reject, Multi Filter, MS-20 LPF, MS-20 HPF, Polysix models.Įnough? They sound OK and are pure DSP as is the entire instrument.Įnvelopes - four ADSR envelopes with routings for Filter, Pitch, Amplitude and Vector - for the vector synth stuff.
So effectively it's all sample based, there is no VA stuff in there for oscillators, though there are a LOT of sampled synth waves. So already there’s plenty to work with, but additionally there are other tracks in the wave sequencer which govern timing, step duration, probability and such, plus a pitch sequence lane, gate and shape - things get pretty complex pretty fast.Įach of the four layers can have either a wave sequence or a single multi-sample at the sound source. Each step has a number of parameters sample, Oct, semitone, fine tune, level trim and probability. It is full digital, with 2GB of sample ROM (no user samples at present) digital modeled filters (Polysix, MS20 and others), 4 envelopes and 4 LFOs per voice - plus 7 wavesquencer channels per voice.Įach part has a Sample lane in which you can sequence up to 64 of the on board sample waves, or load pre-built wave sequences to get you started. Keys are full size three octave with velocity (Wavestate responds to after touch and poly AT) Now the case itself it certainly lightweight plastic with a partial metal top panel. The Wavestate is a small (think Minilogue sized) digital wave sequencer synth with up to 64 stereo voices split across four separate synth layers, with built in FX and a deep modulation system. Wavestate is certainly digital, featuring Wave Sequencing 2.0, based on the original 1990’s WaveStation technology but evolved considerably.
I learned what a snowclone is today - a phrase along the lines of: “ X is the new Y” I was looking it up to find out how to express the phrase: ” Digital is the New Analog”, something (I think) that applies to the current wave of digital instruments.
