I happened across this video the day BEFORE my Wavestate arrived. I though it was interesting, but didn't think much about until I received my synth. After playing with the Wavestate for 2 hours (using its factory patches), I was ready to pack it up and send it back. It just seemed too complex and not very musical. I'm someone that likes a LOT of useable factory presets that I can tweak, rather than someone that wants to make EVERYTHING from scratch. Then I remembered this video and a few of the tricks that were mentioned. I started noodling around with the INIT Performance, making my own patches based upon what was mentioned here. Surprisingly, I came up with some amazing pads almost instantly. I will be keeping my Wavestate now that I see programming is nowhere near as intimidating as it once seemed. The sound quality is wonderful and you can design your own patches fairly quickly, but don't expect to be wowed with the factory patches unless you write horror or science fiction soundtracks for a living. There is a very musical instrument in there if you give it just a few minutes AND you pay attention to this video.
Brilliant! Glad it’s worked out for you! The more I play with the synth the more I like it - you need to invest time to learn it, I agree with you. And it does have its own sound too.
I am trying to connect dual midi chord to both Wavestate and Deluge but Can’t seem to figure out how to do this. Can you share with me how you connected your devices and made the Deluge the brains of your operation?
This is so much more interesting than those demos of the factory presets. The launch publicity made it sound like it's just a fancy morphing pads machine.
I agree that the Korg Wavestate is absolutely incredible and I also can't leave mine alone. Cool patches just pour out of this beast but only after a hefty learning curve. It's a deep machine but well worth putting the time in to learn the tricky OS 😁👍
@@simonmorton3746 can you send out a metronome click from the Wavestate to a drummer for live playing when doing like a sequence, or how would that work ?
@@simonmorton3746 that means that you would have to record the Wavestate sequence or backing tracks (as they call it these days) on a DAW and from your laptop or IPad send the click to a drummer
I’ve just bought a WS the stand out feature for me is being able to jam out on it. I never thought it would be so easy to groove on it. Also Surprising that I’ve hardly read the manual which is testament to how good a complex synth like this be. It’s surprised me
Yep, the manual is OK - but lots of good tutorial videos out there thankfully! After 9 months with it I'm still learning little tricks, and there a few things I have not worked out...totally agree with you, jamming out is soo much fun. The vector joystick linked to volume is super useful to develop/ build up a sound over time.
Wow great choice - defo download a demo of the stand alone version - helps a lot when getting your head around the synth structure. Then, learn the shortcuts on the Wavestate, it can be a little quirky to navigate. Watch Qui Robinez videos too, he goes at a nice pace. ruclips.net/video/wB1sjaAmlgY/видео.html 3 years on and several synths have come and gone, Wavestate is still one of the favs! Best of luck!
Dear KORG, Please hire this man for all of your product demos and tutorials. I’m sold on the Wavestate, because it’s a solid, magical instrument. However, Simon Morton makes it a fun, learning machine. Cheers, mate! PS - Drink more Fursty Ferret!
Ha yes I’ve pre ordered the modwave so I may well do a ferret induced bumbling demo! Cheers for your comment! Wavestate is still the most fun synth I’ve ever owned, just love it soo much!
@@simonmorton3746 Will be interesting to hear what you do with the Modwave. This video on the Wavestate is way more interesting than the factory patch demos they launched it with.
So the biggest upgrade the wavestate has, compared to wavestation, is that now it's actually nice and accesible to edit patches. That's actually a huge upgrade for this type of synth.

Out of all the Wavestate videos I’ve watched this week, and I’ve watched way more than I should admit to, this has been my absolute fave, because it’s quintessentially British, and anyone moaning about professionalism needs to get a life. This is simply a Synth lover enjoying his rig with a beer and providing some useful advice, my guess is Simon doesn’t give a monkey’s if it comes across as professional or not, because that’s not his aim here. I’m nearly always having a beer in my studio, and why the hell not?! This is a real vid made by a real, genuine person. There's an absolute tonne of ‘proper’ Wavestate demo and instructional vids on here, so go to them if that’s what you want. Let’s not slate someone for giving us an impromptu and casual take as an alternative. This made me laugh more than anything, and I’ve subscribed as a result, because it’s not yet another boring corporate style video, or some guy making crappy beats whilst trying to look cool (not suggesting for a second that you're not cool of course Simon!). Massive thumbs up from me, and now I’m off to find my credit card to buy this thing…
Thanks Richard for your kind words! Indeed, you are spot on, I love synths and I think you will get a huge amount of joy from the Wavestate, it has got it's own unique character, and really fun to muck around with.
@@simonmorton3746 mine arrived yesterday and I was initially very impressed with my first muck around with it last night. Can't wait to spend some more time diving deeper into it!! Also I've got to thank you for something else, because you mentioned in the above video that people had started making some downloadable patches for it, which I seeked out earlier, and I've bought Co5mo's e-motion pads volumes to add to it, so I'm looking forward to trying them out! Thanks again for the vids, keep them coming! Oh and I love your setup, what a collection!!
@@rdboon Brilliant Richard hope you have fun with the Wavestate - the Co5ma patches are absolutely fantastic (also, go through the individual programs as well as the performances, there are some amazing building blocks in there). Co5ma is a massively talented chap! The "Stratoshere" bank has some nice stuff in as well. Glad you like the rig - it now has a Hydrasynth desktop, and soon to have Dreadbox Typhon in there, but now run out of space! Recommend a nice chilled Badger Brewery Hopping Hare with day 2 of your wavestate exploration!
Yea it’s got the X factor! I know what you mean! I did buy an r3 to replace it but sold the r3 and kept the micro korg, which says something about the mk. I keep checking eBay for the radias and ms2000 as well....
Nice demo. It’s a really deep machine. Def not for just skimming presets although they def can get you to interesting starting points. You have to spend time programming to get the most out of it. Unlimited mod matrix. Mine tends to glitch momentarily when changing programs or effects, etc. so not really great for live playing. Selective randomness is cool. If you find something you like SAVE IT or you can’t really get it back. 4-part multitimbral! Cheers!
We all can't be Nick Batt but Kudos to you for giving it a go. Whenever I do a demo I come off as Nick Batt's inarticulate second cousin. You did fine, you don't deserve any down votes. Nice rig with some cool improvs. Keep playing as I will until the end of time.
Hi Simon, this is amazing! Building a nice sequence in just a few seconds! I love it! I'm curuous, what type of sequencer does the sequencing? And which drumcomputer is attached? grts
10/10 for effort, Simon! I reckon the Wavestate is one of the trickier synths to describe but once mastered and I'm sure you will, it'll sound awesome with your other gear plus that Pioneer mixer.
@@simonmorton3746 : It's definitely going to be my next synth... I'm just debating whether I need another studio purchase first. Ah, it's a black hole... :-D
Actually - and I am not kidding - thumb goes up the very moment you sipped on your beer! And I had an other good laugh when you tinkered with the performance mode of the Wavestate with the word's »I had one beer« (around 3:50). Hahaha! Very good! 😄
@sbmphr Indeed good point. Actually, I pre ordered really early, but my supplier miscalculated the number allocated first batch,. By the time the first batch arrived, their mistake was then noticed, and I missed out - very grumpy about that - so I thought, what the hell, and posted something on facebook - lucky me, somei=one who lives 1 hour away from me bought one and didn't like it as much as his new Kronos, so I snapped it up. I really feel for those waiting though, regardless of Corona, Korg underestimated the demand it would seem, and the UK (and EU) seems bottom of the list for delivery for whatever reason.
Ha hello Poole! Ah yes, Poacher, a fine choice! Golden Champion aperitif and Hopping Hare main course for me tonight! Hoping to go on holiday at some point this year to Weymouth, so just down the road from you! We can meet at the Badger brewery, I'll bring the.synths, sure the wife won't mind :-))
dude I love Your video. I think I may be your US Equivalent in humor and synth and BEER lol. I cannot get any sound out of my PC when the editor is Open. have youbhad any experiences?? do I need the Croosgrade VST Plugin?? thx. and great video I love mine too. about to get deeper I had a Wavestate Ex back in our day
Unfortunately stepping thru the mods list is pretty much the only way to see where the mod knobs are assigned. There’s no display that gives you a quick patch overview. There’s also no external editor for iPad or computer, only a librarian.which seems a bit of a missed opportunity in terms of getting an easier overview of sound structure. Maybe Korg will release one later if the synth is a financial success.
@@simonmorton3746 It is indeed a great synth, but sadly still waiting for that editor... oh and also still waiting for an RNDIS driver that works with Windows 10 too so you can actually use the librarian and update the wavestate's OS, so that needs sorting pronto! Also , it was a great, funny and very natural video, so don't be disheartened by a few naysayers... I myself actually learned something! ;)
Thanks for the vid Simon, its helping me decide on "should i buy one".... but a little question regarding your set up, I see you have flat shelves but all the gear seems to be the same angle.....how have you achieved that?
Good old IKEA laptop stands, the small white ones and big black ones called “Brada”. Dirt cheap and rock solid. And Velcro on everything to secure it all :-)
@@simonmorton3746 Top man Simon, thank you, i have some of the small white ones but found them to slide a bit when I get a bit too excited, but never occured to me to use velcro. thanks again.
Can you make a video explain the unison voices with a simple saw wave an the polyphony? and how work with basic waveforms saw, tringle, square, etc....
@@simonmorton3746 That's a shame. It really is a great synth. The sequencer is kind of buried so it has some similarities with the Wavestate in that respect.
I see you found the same features way before as I did a short time ago... What is missing is a comprehensive list, with a description for each of these lanes presets. I could find the list, but no description for each item. Yet I feel it could be very powerful, just to know you can conjure, for example, a preset pitch lane doing a minor arpeggio, with another preset of a nice sample lane, with a preset of timing that would (still for example) do a doted-quarter / eight note pattern. It would be much more useful than these nice -but stupid- preset names, wouldn't it ?
Agreed! Korg may be updating the OS at some point when the new Wavestate SE comes out, so let's hope they make a few tweaks - Dan Phillips from Korg is quite receptive, you can always contact him on the facebook group.
How do you sequence it thru the controller I’m using push2 both hooked up to my computer thru midi the wavestate is running audio thru and interface before going to the computer.
@@simonmorton3746 I’d like to set up the performance on the wavestate then use the push as the keys I guess if that makes sense it looks like you had input the drums on your controller then sequenced the keys on the same controller maybe I’m using the wrong terms I’m new to the synth still about 2 months
So I have the Wavestate. Sounds awsome. However, an idiot huge mistake from the Korg engineers is that knobs (except for MOD knobs) don't send midi CC information. Huh ??? Come on guys @ Korg, we do live in 2020, no ?
I wonder if Korg will update the firmware though? might be worth joining the wavestate facebook group and mentioning it, one of the Korg chaps is quite active on there.
Love the Lego 8043 Set in the Corner.. Sorry Had too, I have the same exact set, but redid it as the bulldozer lol. Also have the WaveState and OPsix.. Som fantastic keyboards. Just miss the after touch and 61 keys. BUT heard that is coming in late 2021. So Fingers Crossed :) Love the overview and tons of Shit in here comment lol. And that fact you are relaxed drinking a ale doing it. 5 Stars! Loved It! lol
Ha ha yes 8043 indeed, it's for the kids, honest! Glad you liked the video, thank you for your comments. Korg are on fire at the moment, some great synths coming out - I've ordered the modwave so looking forward to getting abuse from youtube when I do a video on that :-) I decided to skip the opsix for the moment (DX7 was the first synth I ever played in 1988, don't think I have ever got over the FM experience), but interested to hear your take on it. Lots of comments about aftertouch and not having module versions of these 3 octave affairs from Korg....so it makes sense for them to wait and see if there is enough demand before making those versions.
"Ive written more patches in the last few days than any of these..." Haha I only said this to myself last night in the studio while using it. I think I've done 20 patches, its the first time Ive ever saved a patch! lol
Useful presentation about a synthesizer that I hope to purchase this week. I just wish the drinking was not part of the video. Please help the advertiser and then present your material.
I do these videos for fun, I'm not paid by any advertiser, so don't have to follow anyones rules, except RUclipss of course! Hopefully the video was useful though. It is a really great synth, really hope you enjoy it! ...steepish learning curve but well worth it I reckon.
I've tried watching this demo three times now but find it way too disjointed to make any sense out of his presentation. Probably too many Frosty Ferrets before hand.
Interesting...but please plan what you want to say instead of rambling so much. It was hard to keep my interest up before you got to the point of your demonstration.
The uniqueness of being individuals. Your points are valid. But he his a fellow being casually sharing somethings he finds interesting in this particular synth. He is not a Korg rep trying to convince you to part with your cash, or at least does not appear to be.

I see you found the same features way before as I did a short time ago...
What is missing is a comprehensive list, with a description for each of these lanes presets. I could find the list, but no description for each item.
Yet I feel it could be very powerful, just to know you can conjure, for example, a preset pitch lane doing a minor arpeggio, with another preset of a nice sample lane, with a preset of timing that would (still for example) do a doted-quarter / eight note pattern.
It would be much more useful than these nice -but stupid- preset names, wouldn't it ?
Agreed! Korg may be updating the OS at some point when the new Wavestate SE comes out, so let's hope they make a few tweaks - Dan Phillips from Korg is quite receptive, you can always contact him on the facebook group.
What's he using in the middle to make the drum beats?
Its a Synthrom Deluge
How do you sequence it thru the controller I’m using push2 both hooked up to my computer thru midi the wavestate is running audio thru and interface before going to the computer.
Do you want to sequence from push only, or use the sequencer on the wavestate?
@@simonmorton3746 I’d like to set up the performance on the wavestate then use the push as the keys I guess if that makes sense it looks like you had input the drums on your controller then sequenced the keys on the same controller maybe I’m using the wrong terms I’m new to the synth still about 2 months
I recorded my last album drinking beer!!!
I hear fosters beer is very inspirational.
Do the arpeggiators output midi?
Not sure, I don’t think so….but if anyone knows chime in!
So I have the Wavestate. Sounds awsome. However, an idiot huge mistake from the Korg engineers is that knobs (except for MOD knobs) don't send midi CC information. Huh ??? Come on guys @ Korg, we do live in 2020, no ?
I wonder if Korg will update the firmware though? might be worth joining the wavestate facebook group and mentioning it, one of the Korg chaps is quite active on there.
One thing is for sure : You don't need a Christmas tree in your studio. ;-)
Ha ha yes!!!
@@simonmorton3746 And thanks to your video, I bought the Wavestate today !
@@sK3LeTvM1 Brilliant! I highly recommend the Co5ma patches!
@@simonmorton3746 They are wonderful !
Have you tried sequencing another synth with the wavestate? Does it work or make any sense at all?
Nah, the Deluge does all that stuff!
Love the Lego 8043 Set in the Corner.. Sorry Had too, I have the same exact set, but redid it as the bulldozer lol. Also have the WaveState and OPsix.. Som fantastic keyboards. Just miss the after touch and 61 keys. BUT heard that is coming in late 2021. So Fingers Crossed :) Love the overview and tons of Shit in here comment lol. And that fact you are relaxed drinking a ale doing it. 5 Stars! Loved It! lol
Ha ha yes 8043 indeed, it's for the kids, honest! Glad you liked the video, thank you for your comments. Korg are on fire at the moment, some great synths coming out - I've ordered the modwave so looking forward to getting abuse from youtube when I do a video on that :-) I decided to skip the opsix for the moment (DX7 was the first synth I ever played in 1988, don't think I have ever got over the FM experience), but interested to hear your take on it.
Lots of comments about aftertouch and not having module versions of these 3 octave affairs from Korg....so it makes sense for them to wait and see if there is enough demand before making those versions.
Do you know how to bypass the filter?It says there is a bypass in the manual.
ken10763 hmm no I don’t, sorry!
"Ive written more patches in the last few days than any of these..."
Haha I only said this to myself last night in the studio while using it. I think I've done 20 patches, its the first time Ive ever saved a patch! lol
Hey Brett, that is fantastic my friend!
Useful presentation about a synthesizer that I hope to purchase this week. I just wish the drinking was not part of the video. Please help the advertiser and then present your material.
I do these videos for fun, I'm not paid by any advertiser, so don't have to follow anyones rules, except RUclipss of course!
Hopefully the video was useful though. It is a really great synth, really hope you enjoy it!
...steepish learning curve but well worth it I reckon.
I've tried watching this demo three times now but find it way too disjointed to make any sense out of his presentation. Probably too many Frosty Ferrets before hand.
Erm yes, next time I will plan better! It does say 'slightly rough impromptu' in the description in my defence!
Interesting...but please plan what you want to say instead of rambling so much. It was hard to keep my interest up before you got to the point of your demonstration.
The uniqueness of being individuals. Your points are valid. But he his a fellow being casually sharing somethings he finds interesting in this particular synth. He is not a Korg rep trying to convince you to part with your cash, or at least does not appear to be.
I had to stop watching this, he kept stopping, stuttering, laughing, it got too annoying, and it undermined his credibility, IMO.
8 minutes in and I haven’t learned anything useful. What Are you even going on about? A whole lotta nothing I guess?
I am out of here.
How silly that you use RUclips to have a beer while talking about the wave state unprofessional mate
Probably the most inept attempt at an instructional vid I've ever seen.
Hey who are you calling innept budy?
Next time do not drink beer with presentation videos like this. It's not professional.
