Unlease the power of wavetable synthesis

The modwave mkII synthesizer takes wavetable synthesis to new heights, building on the legacy of the DW-8000 by combining digital wavetables with analog filters. With over 200 wavetables and a myriad of modifiers and morph types, the modwave offers an astonishing 230 million wavetable variations right out of the box. Its deep synthesis engine allows musicians to craft unique sounds with ease, layering wavetables with samples, and modulating parameters to create both subtle and dramatic changes in timbre.

Kaoss physics: interactive and fun sound control

Kaoss Physics is a groundbreaking feature in the modwave mkII that brings a new level of interactivity to sound modulation. This innovative tool models a ball rolling on a surface, which you can control with a flick of your finger on the x/y Kaoss pad. The ball’s movement, influenced by adjustable friction, bump heights, and wall interactions, generates multiple modulation signals that can be routed to any modulation destination. Whether you’re creating subtle changes or wild, unpredictable effects, Kaoss Physics adds a fun, physical element to sound design that makes the process both engaging and musically inspiring.

Motion sequencing 2.0: organic, evolving soundscapes

Motion Sequencing 2.0, evolved from KORG’s Wave Sequencing 2.0, introduces a new dimension to phrase and modulation sequencing. By separating timing, pitch, shape, and step values into independent lanes, each with its own loop points, Motion Sequencing 2.0 allows for an incredible degree of customization. The result is a sequence that is constantly evolving, with each note potentially triggering a different set of parameters. This system not only enhances the complexity and depth of your sequences but also ensures that no two performances are exactly alike, making it a powerful tool for live performances and studio productions alike.

Expanded polyphony and enhanced modulation: a synth like no other

The modwave mkII boasts an impressive 60 voices of polyphony, nearly doubling the capacity of its predecessor, and setting a new standard for wavetable synthesizers. This expanded polyphony allows for richer, more complex textures, especially when layering multiple wavetables and samples. In response to user feedback, the mkII also features enhanced LFOs with options for free running, delayed start, and retriggering, providing even greater flexibility in sound design. Coupled with its extensive modulation capabilities, including multi-lane motion sequencing and Kaoss Physics, the modwave mkII stands out as a versatile and powerful instrument for any musician looking to push the boundaries of synthesis.
