Woody and wavestate are the best combination!
That synth looks like a lot of fun. An ambient dream.
I dig the shirt too!
"Thanks" for playing common themes with the power of the Wavestate under them. Good choices. This is IMO the most under-rated synth from Korg in years. Hard to grog but worth the learning curve. It always sounds "finished" and never raw. That is both its' downfall and strength. Love it. I put it away a few years ago because I was composing too many things and it was a crutch.
Absolutely adore this device, so many variations on evolving instruments and arps, 100% my vibe. Love using it, guilty of sitting down to record with it and end up jamming away to myself to a chill relax vibe 😂
Forgot that this KORG Wavestate is a beast.
Nice playing.
I don’t think I’ve been so excited by listening to a demo in years. I want one!
You look so happy playing it that it just adds to the positive vibes. 👏🎶
nice one dave, much appreciated! if you're not enjoying yourself, no point in playing and no point in watching :)
Woody Dude! I can see from your expression you were enjoying playing this great little synth. I love the Wavestate, it is a synth like no other. It can even help music illiterates like me create beautiful-sounding melodies. I bought a mark I second-hand two years ago and enjoyed it sooo much I upgraded to the SE. You can get an immediate entry to cool playing sounds through the presets and set lists but when you get used to the menus and dive in there is a bottomless ocean of creative potential. It sits above my Polybrute in my set-up and gets a lot more play time, so satisfying.
Thats a damn good setup , right there ... I got a AKAI AX-73 under my Grandmother - and a Deepmind with the Opsix above,-
Great Demo Woody and I love the Hawaii shirt! You are the Synth Magnum!
haha, the ice cream? :D
Please shave the beard and keep only the moustache 😂
Great demo Woody, playing cool tracks with beautiful sounds! West End Girls blew my mind 8:39 ❤
Wow amazing sounds from the Korg Wavestate Thanks for sharing 🎉
At 2:55 I could have swore you were gonna play Antarctica. Perfect sound for this magical Vangelis tune!
I love it when you're doing stuff like this!
amazing synth, even better shirt lol, I love your reactions to some of the sounds. love the channel Woody.. Korg are probably my go to synth builders

got one and i love it.
Thanks for the reminder - a wonderful synth, indeed.
Ahh, Wavestate time has come. Awesome! I’m definitely going to watch this video with headphones later. Planning on getting myself the SE version.🥳
yeah, this synth deserves phones, fancy the SE myself, although did not like the look of the champagne version when i saw in the store
@@WoodyPianoShack oh really! I would have thought the Platinum version would be right up your alley. Now that you describe it as “champagne”, I’m starting to have doubts too haha! Here in The Netherlands I did not yet manage to find either of the SE versions in stores. Black is the safe choice of course…
I love this synth. A secret weapon in my rig.
Nice shirt!
eh.... nope ;)
oh no, the first negative comment on my shirt!
Such an awesome machine!!!! I still have my original Wavestation SR. Have the hardware OpSix and also the VST Wavestate and it is absolutely awesome!
That third piece piano sounds sweet! I never gave much thought about this synth as I'm not big on wavetable syths but it seems much more than just that. Thanks for the video! Bruce Hornsby is great too!
Sounds really great. Some great sounds. thanks for demo-ing
OMG - that sound GORGEOUS !
Great demo, incredible sounds!
You have no idea how glad I am to find you; I am techno DJ Poducer and have always loved that 80s vibe nostalgia etc, going through a very hard time divorce etc! Got a few plugins, when I seen you video for best vst etc totally made my mind up diva is epic, take care and your music and videos are amazing 🤩
yeah, still love that plugin today, and thanks for the comm, best wishes
Beautiful
Nice!
I would love to have this.
Awsome sounds, great playing and...Nice shirt ;-)
Aloha Woodie. Wonderful as always!! Love your choices and interpretations. Fantastic.
Thank you Woody, some very nice playing tonight.
This sounds stupendous. Thanks for the demo - I can see one of these coming home with me :)
Loving the The Midnight stuff ❤
Wow great 😊👍
Woody! You’ve done it again! With your playing skills, the utterly amazing sounds produced and your sheer joy, another Wavestate is sold. I tried so hard to resist to no avail. Didn’t really try that hard to be honest. It’s winging its way here as I write. Will have to find room for it amongst the mountain of keyboards, guitars, amps, drum machines, etc. that I’ve acquired over the years. I’ve always had such a love of music all my life and getting new gear is so good, but becoming a little problematic lately. I think I might have a “buying too much equipment problem” though…
My guitars will gently weep along with the neighbours when I put the Korg through its paces. Oh yes!!!
You’re a star Woody. Keep it up. 👍
you too and congrats on the incoming! this is one keyboard that seems to do it all.
I was waiting for you to get one of these. I was thinking how is woody not gonna have the successor to those early digital synths that inspired him so much!
yes, was way overdue, i did cover the software version a couple years ago
All the more reason, for me to want to buy this keyboard! Wow!
Just when I think I already have more than enough keyboards, you go and do another video on a great synth! 😄
we can all squeeze a WS into our rigs!
Amazing how you matched all these songs to the wavestate 'weirdness'. There is no doubt the sounds from this machine are some of the most interesting and evolving ever. If only it had a better keybed. The 61 key version may well be worthwhile.
cheaper with a wavestate rack, or mk1 + nice controller keyboard. the SE version is attractive to me tho!
@@WoodyPianoShack If the price keeps dropping I will consider the SE. I do have the VST though
Good for you 👍 Well done 💯👍
first ❤️
Nice playing. I finally have my Wavestate Module. It's an amazing synth.
yeah, that's a good choice paired with a nice aftertouch controller
More please!
Thanks Woody, inspired use of those presets and love your interpretations of the songs. Nice too to see the Wavestate being used for more than just ambient noodling…although it is very good for that! The desktop module paired with a good (multi-octave and aftertouch-enabled) controller keyboard is a great value alternative to the Wavestate SE.
thanks, and yes, will be nice to hook up to a 6 octave board, although today wanted to see what could be done as-is!
I got the Wavestate MKII about 6 months ago and it is one hell of synth. Constantly use it with my Hydrasynth Explorer.
Danke!
hey andreas, super cool of you, cheers, much appreciate.
some sound like a modern version of the JD-800 🥳 nice playing!
The Wavestate is so much fun to make music with. Apparently if you have playing skills it is even better. Who knew?
Thanks Woody, these are some fantastic musical creations you made for us!
much appreciated!
I just looked up the price. I was expecting it to be a lot more tbh! What a lovely wee thing.
😂 it’s funny to see how you enjoy these unexpected sounds … Korg did a good job. I remember using a wavestation back in the day’s … at 7:32 … this reminds me of JM Jarre song Revolution …
This is the synth I wanted you to review and play since it came out. I suggested it in a comment a few years ago. Also get the Korg Wavestate SE with aftertouch and try that too. I knew you would love it. I have 2 of these synths! 😊
congrats on your combo! i would love to add a wavestate se to the collection as a keeper in the future, but for now a decent controller connected to this would be a big upgrade
Nice demo! Some wonderful sounds on that thing. Didn't realise they released a firmware update that allows custom sample imports, that's a very powerful little device now!
Edit: Looks like the sample import may be a Wavestate MkII only thing, didn't realise they released a new version
Goes for mk 1 too :)
@kokopeline Oh cool! Big respect for companies that do that sort of thing instead of using it as an excuse to push their latest model
@@_mickmccarthy
The only real upgrade is going from 64 voices to 96. And some new presets. The software update with the possibility to import samples, and a very usefull Wavestate editor librarian for your computer was realeased a couple of years before mk2. I love my WS :)
Woody please! with these great videos another one on how to smuggle another synth at home is necessary!!! 🙂 Thanks again for your time.
i haven't quite figured that out myself yet... :)
@@WoodyPianoShack 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Woody! Split your video up into sections please! Great playing and sound selection, loved it.
yeah, i know i should, you're right, just can't be bothered, all the editing and yt admin stuff is a tedious pain as it is, without adding extra burden
Love it!! Is this the Wavestate II? Certainly gave my monitors and ears a workout!!!
it's just the original ws, but no difference in features or sound
Mantabs
Fantastic synt ! Thx for the demo !🙂 Is it worth to buy the 61 tangenters Keyboard ?
probably not, it costs 4 times the price for those extra keys.
Hi Woody, I also think it is a surprising synthesizer, I also own it and you can really go wild, it is so surprising and with the filters and effects a simple sound becomes great, and what can also be so surprising is the dice , very strange sounds emerge that can be used again, great the Wavestate, thanks for your presentation,,,,,,,,,
All the while korg has already been officially released as a VST plugin virtual instrument. Really hard to justify owning the hardware. The mod wave is the one to get in hardware form
i kinda disagree, when you can get the hardware used for just twice the price of the plugin, and this synth only shines with all those panel controls and vector stick. i have the software but it doesn't inspire in the same way, or have the immediacy
For a long time I had a Wavestation EX. Back then it was the best rompler. It was better than the M-1 and T-3 and the 01/W wasn't released yet. Roland had the D-70, but that has only a 15Khz sampling rate. I used the EX for every sound possible, and I recreated sounds from excisting songs. But I never used the Vector joystick. I tried it, but it involved the main volume of the sound, so it was unusable to me. The wavesequencing made a good auto-accompaniment though.
Nothing like Woody in the morning
Would be curious to hear how the Korg Opsix compares to a DX7 soundwise.
I had and opsix and I miss every bit of it. I had to sell it for financial reasons. If I get lucky enough to get it an opsix back to me or a wavestate, I would fight against a hurricane, a storm, just to keep them at home.
How do you make the sound of that synth full? The sound you get from the headphones output of the wave state is fuller than the sound you get from the audio output directly to the audio interface. Are missing plugins necessary? Compressor etc?
Great video
I think they'll be one one its way by the end of the month ....ps don't tell the wife, pps dam cool shirt.
congrats, enjoy and thx!
I wish Korg had combined the Wavestate and the Modwave because the Wavestation was essentially a combination of the two.
it would be cool with one flagship synth that did modwave, wavestate and the other one that i forget! ;)
@@WoodyPianoShackOpSix😉 I bet you’ll like that one too. Modern DX-7.
@@WoodyPianoShack There are four π synths now. OpSix, WaveState, ModWave, and the new Neo. All based on the Raspberry π compute modules.
Looking at how you respond to this synth would I be correct that this is on your "keep" list?
(I have the VST and love it) 😊🖖💯🎶
yeah, given how compact and cheap this is, see no reason to let it go... famous last words. :)
have you compared this to the Roland n/zyme engine in the Fantom EX?
I have many individual synths, and I'm trying to minimize what I need for a rig.
I'm working to getting small keyboard rigs down to two keyboards, that I can mix and match: 1) a workstation / stage keyboard for almost everything 2) a lead / bass / secondary synth.
For example, for #1, it's either my Hammond SKx + 25-note pedals, Roland EX or Korg Pa5X; for #2) it's my Arturia AstroLab or Roland AX-Edge, or soon to be Osmose.
nzyme wavetable synth, and nothing like the wave sequencing and vector synthesis on the korg, i don't have advice for you except for take your time and enjoy the hunt, often more fun than the destination!
Have you tried the synth with an aftertouch keyboard yet? I imagine this synth could really make use of aftertouch.
not yet, something to look forward to!
Is this machine let down buy the low quality keyboard?
i don't find it that bad, and for the price i am not complaining, there is an SE version for those that demand great keybed, but it'll cost ya!
I had a wavestate 3 years ago i sold it. A bit complicated for me to programme.
Is the mk2 worth getting for the price difference?
no, just buy a used mk1, i have never ran into poly limit
Wavestate is a great inspirational tool, I just hated the short keybed so I replaced it with the plugin.
How many keys does this keyboard have
2 octave or is it 3, count the keys in the vid! ;)
Nice examples. Love the sound of this one. Side question, can i ask what headphones are you using?
pair of ancient grados that have always crackled a bit in one ear. so not really to recommend
Love the songs, but I think its Computer Love and not Computer World :)
good call andrew
Hi Woody! So glad you’ve discovered the joys of the Wavestate. As I think I mentioned on your channel before, it ended my search for the “perfect” synth, as it’s such a good fit for me. It’s great for “landscapes” too - here’s a single preset I made (yup, just a SINGLE preset) that has a lot going on inside it: ruclips.net/video/GMt4FTbeC_I/видео.htmlsi=RlcHrO8yAOma_nxX
Wonderful demo, but I need another keyboard like a need a hole in the head. I'll stick with my Wavestation SR, with the wonderful preset with which you can play 'Parla piu piano', the love theme from 'The Godfather'.
can't go wrong with the OG, more powerful in some ways as i understand
I opted for the Korg OPSIX intead of the wawestate - and got an Akai AX-73 under my Grandmother .... but this video GAS me for getting the Wawestate .... it REALLY sound beautiful,- - and theyre not too exspensive - i just wish they had a FATAR keybed instead of those plasticky p-LASTIC keys,-
that's what the SE version is for! but i paid 350 or something for mine used! bang for the buck indeed
Very good or excellent sounds and playing. Are these factory presets or from different libraries?
Probably not to be found in the plugin?
Considering the module now.
factory presets and pretty sure these are in the plugin
Great sounds. Shame the 5 octave version is priced so high or it could compete with the entry level Montage and Fantom as a flexible synth workstation.
totally agree, would be a solid buy at 1299, for example
Get the plug in its waaay better as you can use multiple instances without bouncing to audio .
true that, but would miss all those panel controls! that's where the magic happens
@@WoodyPianoShack good point Woody . I guess if you're using for pure enjoyment and not production I think the Wavestate SE would be the way to go with a bigger keybed.
Nice considering it is based on a Raspberry Pi
yeah, this is basically a pc running the wavestate plugin!
@@WoodyPianoShack Korg has a massive advantage with their architecture. Made the right decision long ago.
wonder if Kronos/Nautilus can do all this...
Great minds think alike! I was wondering the same thing😊
they do not have these sounds, although the sample engine has wave sequencing lite engine going on, but not in this league, and without the vector joystick!
Really great sounds, but plasticky build quality (Minilogue is so much better), so-so knobs and buttons and keys, and cumbersome menu setup
yeah, agree with all that
Nicely played. And great, a song list. Please, please always make at least a short song list. I'm always wondering what song that was again 😉 . Not impressed with the Wavestate at all. I don't need sounds that play by themselves or have a lot of sound effects.
i often like to leave the viewers wondering about the song, but i sometimes make it too easy for you! luckily you don't have to use these sounds, can be as simple or complex as you desire
@@WoodyPianoShack Yes, I know 😀. I often despair at trying to figure out the song. Sometimes it's very tricky.
I love the Wavestate, but the preset list is definitely overly heavy on unique and not very usable patches. All the pieces are there to create great usable patches but it would have been nice to get a section of good basic synth sounds as presets.
@@georgenewman5860 yeah that' s all true, you have to invest a bit of time and create your own bank of performances to your taste, as you say all the samples and tools are in there.
@@WoodyPianoShack Yep and I am enjoying doing so. It is educational and fun but it does take a time commitment for those who don't have much experience doing it.
Hi.....You play by hear. think the next step is to copy the rhymes, beats by ear........try playing shout by tear for fears rhyme by ear. Mybe rhymes is more diffucult lol.
the drum beat on running up the hill I could not play.
