KORG Wavestate Synthesiser: Advanced Performance Tutorial 

Watched it again and I still think that this is the most useful tutorial about the Wavestate on RU-vid! I get to play with mine next week and I'll definitely follow along with this tutorial again when I sit in front of this amazing machine.

This tutorial gave me so many fulfilling "a-ha!" moments. It's really helped make more sense of the Wavestate workflow for me. Thanks so much. Please do more!

When I first saw this wave state I thought I'd have to go to a university to learn how to use one! But these tutorials you've done are great. They don't jump around like others on you tube. I've gone from totally confused watching other tutorials to a fresh re booted brain watching yours!! Thanks very much!

This was an absolutely incredible tutorial showing me ways to make use of lane presets and performances. Thank you for making this video!

Oh shit, my mind blew right open at 6:30 when you set keyboard zones by holding enter and pressing the keys. I had no idea that you could do that. I know it's all in the manual but it's the most dry manual I've ever read. So in my heart there's countless little secrets like that hiding in the wavestate. Thanks for illuminating a few of them for us.

I got my WS a few weeks ago & it has been an intense learning curve with its share of discouragement. Your videos have been a HUGE help, THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Clearest presentation of this machine's workflow on the internet. Well done!

Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge!

This was such a great tutorial! I was always wondering about a hold function for all those parts and apparently the hold button only works in arpeggiator mode. So seeing that you can easily switch on hold per part is a great relief.

I just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did. Your tutorials on the Wavestate are very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you!!! This piece of machinery is insanely capable, however, not the easiest to learn so this tutorial unlocks a lot !

Wow! Amazing tutorial, exactly what is needed. After getting my Wavestate last week I've only started tinkering, reading the manual and watching Korg's Wavestate tutorial. Your video is so inspirational! Keep up the good work!!

This is exactly what I imagined I would do with the Wavestate. Thanks very much for taking the time to figure it out, and share with us. Now if only my back ordered Wavestate would arrive. Everyday I don't see it has shipped in my email, is torture.

Thanks just got mine yesterday after waiting 2months to get in stock haha this is why I got this to do these amazing sounds

Excellent demo, much appreciated.

Outstanding tutorial. THANKS!

this is exactly what i needed! pls do more wavestate tutorials!

Outstanding tutorial and demo of the Wavestate capabilities! 😎👍

This is an awesome tutorial for the wavestate! I think this will enable me to do my first little live session very soon :)

Awesome video. Answered my question about true multi-timbrality, keyboard splits, etc.. Thanks!

I can't believe RTFMing didn't lead me to the vector volume control. I knew there was an easy way to do that... I must have over looked it!

Thanks 4 the intuitive teaching skills of your videos opens my mind very inspirational

Extremely helpful! Thanks!

I really enjoy your explanation- you should just do this for every synth - your voice is very calming and it takes the overwhelming out of all the menu divning and params. do more synth! - your (button)pusher.

This is amazing! You're a genius! It sounds so good! Thank you! 💙

Great video. I'll find this useful once I get my Korg Wavestate.

Thank you for such a great tutorial!

Very useful! Thanks!

Very insightful and clear explanation, seems straight forward the way you presented it. This example functions as an external hardware version of VPS Avenger plug in's sequences though seems easier to program and harmonically more controllable. Nice piece of gear.

Excellent!! Thanks!!

You really know how to be cruel to those who are waiting for that box to arrive 😉

brilliant Mate, Cheers !!

ESPECTACULAR POR FIN ALGUIEN QUE EXPLICA MUY BIEN COMO HACER UNA BUENA PERFORMANCE.. SENSILLAMENTE EXELENTE !!!!

Very useful, thanks a lot!!!!

Amazing tutorial 👏👏👏. Thanks 😊

Can't wait for Tutorial #4!

Great tutorial. Watching this was a real "lightbulb" moment for me. Mine isn't due until the end of March (meh) but these tutorials will have me ready to dive straight in when it does come so cheers. For a live situation would you create your intro, verse, chorus, bridge, etc. in separate performances like this one?

Very useful. Thanks

Looking Perfect !!!!!!!

Great tutorial, I've learnt a lot, thanks. How about diving into modulation next.

I liked your approach pick something and go with it It was not so confusing

Very nice - thx! If you get a chance, can you explain what the Step-Seq lane and the Mod Processors do? Right now the answers seem above my pay grade :) Great job - we’d love to hear more!

Great job and sounds beautiful but looks a bit complicated. I'll be purchasing one of these very soon and can't wait to dive in.

Excellent video on the details of this synth. I have found 3 so far, did you end the series with 3 vids?

Very cool ! A way to have the factory internal demo songs ?? Thx !

This is great. Would you consider doing one just on the degree to which the Wavestate can imitate a regular poly synth? I know for many this is a new, additional tool on top of their other synths. But it's also an interesting proposition as an all-rounder for people getting into electronic music. I know there's a standard saw wave on their which I heard from another video, but keen to know what the ratio of "raw sounds" to samples there is.

Very nice and so good understandable tutorial, but i prefer something more "advanced". Something any build without "preset". Even so you are very good teacher. Example me interest: 1. time line with parametr "note" (no xfade) 2. on each note another cutoff parameter ( i tested with "shape lane") 3. or i have sometimes problem with looping (even though I set the loop inf. ) loop seq. play only one time. and i have no idea why ? So thx. !

Very cool but how do you save your performance on the keyboard?

Tried to follow along to this on my Wavestate but first problem was I have no Drums in my categories!! They are in the new editor/librarian app but no sign on my machine, any ideas??

Hi, I don’t have a “Drum” category - did u install other sounds on it? (FYI, I’m on the latest 1.03 firmware). Also thanks for your vids they’re very useful! All the best! 👍🐬🚀

hello there, where did you get that drums category, in my wavestate when I click enter on drums it sais that there s no result for selected category or collection. thanks

Mine doesn't have a drum category....is that something that I need to download?

At 4:00 Whenever I choose the BASS BUMP program and then go to TIMING to choose a preset RISE ON UP! It doesn’t play a bass sequence like yours, it just plays a single note. How can I fix it?

Hello congratulations for the video, you are great, could you send me the track in mp3? thank you

How do you save it?

I keep looking online how other people do with keyboard zones and I'm always amazed that something as simple as that works for them, but not for me. As soon as I press a key in a zone assigned to a different layer, the other zones stops playing. All zones together are like 20 notes at max (far from the 64 max) so I don't understand how you get all zones playing together. I can't :(

crazy Q: when you have HOLD on a couple of layers.... how do you stop the whole track without going back and turning HOLD = OFF ?

Can you make your own beats on this thing And select your own hats and snare drum and add a bass synth on top of that like you can on the Roland jd-xi?

It will took me years to learn all those functions

It’s a good video but you might want to more carefully explain why you chose to transpose the drum sample that you changed the keyboard zone to trigger with only C3 the way you did via the program setup page. By doing so in the program setup page, the note index parameters weren’t changed; but if you would’ve attempted to transpose the sound via the octave buttons, you’d notice you couldn’t even trigger the sound with the same physical key (C3), as the entire midi index had been altered. This occurs if trying to change the transposition via the layer setup and performance setup pages as well.

question: is it possible to copy a sound from Layer A to Layer B? Tnx.

is that a step sequencer?

Lol. If I could only understand it that quickly. Great vid however. Please morph me your knowledge. I’ll buy dinner....🤣

Can anyone help me lol... how in the world is overall tempo adjusted??? Is there a more precise way other than the tempo "tap" button? If there is I can't find it... H E L P :0

Hopefully Korg will release a desktop version soon as I don't need the keys.

You are showing it so fast that is very confusing.I’m sorry that I’m very beginner but yea too f fast,i get lost even at 0’75 speed

Not so fast🥴i am over 60 and from germany🤣😂
