It provided an innovative way to sound production and live performance by combining step-sequenced looping chains of short-duration waveforms with a Vector Joystick to crossfade between four levels of these sequences. The Wavestation was hampered by memory constraints and user interface limitations of the time, yet it was a beguiling computer that piqued people's interest. It was a sleek, eye-catching instrument with few front panel controls, but more crucially, it was the first device to use Wavesequencing paired with Vector synthesis, courtesy to a cooperation with Dave Smith and the Sequential Circuits team (responsible for the Prophet VS Vector Synthesiser).
No info on pricing or availability yet but as always, stay tuned to Noisegate for more info and product demos as soon as humanly possible.Korg released their first Wavestation in 1990, following the spectacular success of the M1 and the more sophisticated T series.
Simple press button and turn knob controls.Less than 3″ height and approximately 13lbs.Stylish and contemporary, 88 key, slim, lightweight and portable Details are light on, but worth noting the demo appears to be using the Oculus Quest 2 headset.

Have you ever found yourself wishing for the instruments in Korg’s Gadget app to be made into hardware? Well this is close! A VR version of Korg’s Gadget is coming to a headset near you.
Here’s the official descriptions from Korg and teaser videos: Although details are sparse there’s plenty to get excited about including a new drum machine, upgraded 61 key wavestate with aftertouch and a VR DAW (!). Just when we thought we were done wrapping up all the Korg announcements from NAMM 2021, Korg have dropped a host of new product teasers on us (not that we’re complaining).
