Korg Wavestation coming to iOS?

I just posted this over on the Facebook iOS group, but when I was at SynthFest UK on Saturday I was having a look at the Korg stand - and saw an iPad with a Korg Keyboard Controller plugged in via the new Korg Plug Key thingy (looks good but why only Midi input rather than USB as well????). It was only after a while of playing, and enjoying, the sounds I noticed that the app was the Wavestation. Its in Beta and look and sounds (to me at least) pretty good.

And whilst I had someone with "Korg" on their name badge I did mention the fact that iMS20 could do with a little love these days....

  • Great news man, thx for the info.
    Hope it will be integrated to Gadget when released, even if I feel it will be a bit redundant with the synths we already have...

  • Agreed!! Great news!!!

  • Did you see a version of Gadget running AU plugins or IAA apps? (sorry, wishful thinking...)

    No, sorry. Plenty of huge great modular systems, Moog stuff, Yamaha stff, etc. Not much iOS music in view - just some iPads connected in various ways to the previously mentioned modular hardware.

    However I did get to actually play a Roland Jupiter 8 - as a geeky teenager I really wanted one of those.....

  • Oh man that will really rock! The wave station will have a lot of fans buying an iPad just for that synth alone.

  • Cool, except I suspect they will omit the awesome sequencer that's in the iMS-20 and iPolysix.

  • Totally awesome news! The Wavestation is one of those synths I've always wanted to own since playing with one as a kid. Bring it on Korg!

    I remember stepping in to the music shop and asking the notoriously grumpy music guy to switch the Wavestation on for a play. It looked so mean - it had a joystick! :p

  • I wanted a wavestation A/D. It was rack mounted, and the only version which could process external audio.

    I already have the 'Korg Legacy Collection' but if the iWavestation gets the same 'treatment' as iM1 got it will be a joy to program compared to the desktop version!

    I take for granted that if/when iWavestation ships we'll get a 'Gadget' for it too :)

    Next time please take a 'screenshot' ;)
    It's easy enough to press the home/power button and 'AirDrop' the image to the iPhone with no quality loss :D
    (Or in worst case snap a picture with tha Phone).

    Anyways, I look forward to anything Korg brings out for iOS...

    And I agree. Both iMS-20 and iPolysix (And not to forget iKaossilator) need some love and baby Gadgets :D

    This is exciting. I have always wanted Korg to release the Wavestation on iOS. This integrated with Gadget is going to be so sweet. I am hoping that the Wavestation, M1 and all the other Korg iOS plugs will support AU-X.

  • Wavestation will be a standout. Remember it's got the wave sequencing which can be looked at as a built in arp generator, sorta, kind of.

  • To me 'programming' the Wavestation brings back memories from using Trackers but with a more complicated UI :D

  • I just buy anything they release without thinking. Take my money.

    Doh! Why didnt I think of that???

  • I still have my original Wavestation which I bought in 1991.. the backlight is out so when I power her up I stick on a head torch to see the display..lol...although a digital synth, there is still something warm and gritty about the sound that the modern vst cannot capture..I guess it lies in the digital to analogue conversion ...she weighs a ton and is built like a tank..and doesn't go out and play much anymore...unlike me...the key bed is a Yamaha I believe and is lovely to play..

  • The rrp for the WS was $3495 Aud...I imagine the iOS version will be about 1% of that..
    Instabuy indeed !

  • very cool indeed

    that's it - and most of it's fame is based on the fx-unit
    Korg claims to have that recreated in their M1 replica, but it doesn't tempt me enough.
    Still have an S3 Drumbox on the shelf (same sound generation) just in case...
    Similiar applies to EMU samplers of which the soundsets are available for ages in VST format - and sound like crap ;)
    The waveforms are only half of the story - they were created and tuned on a specific piece of hardware.

    I used to have quite a rack full of the older Emu stuff. You are right, the VSTs never nailed the Emu sound.

  • Cool! I know next to nothing about the Wavestation, except that a lot of people referenced it in their hopes for the next Volca machine (the "Kick" is being released in a few weeks, and it's largely a bass drum/bass note generator with an MS-20 type filter). Korg just owns me with their software and low-end hardware right now. I'm less of a "synth" fan and more accurately a "Korg" fan nowadays, if I'm being honest.

  • I've been listening to Wavestation demo's on youtube and it sounds great. Really good for atmospheric evolving sounds. Can't wait to use this in Gadget (hopefully!).

  • I like the way it's possible to create rhytmical backing tracks using wave-sequences. Like a super advanced arpeggiator where each note/step can have a different sound :)

    Got me excited here Samu... I realize I really don't know the Wavestation in fact (I'm not into synths). With what you explain (if I understand correctly), it seems it could bring great new possibilites in Gadget.

    Yepp new 'Gadget' for playing WaveStation sounds similar to iM1 and it's Darwin Gadget.

    Here's an old cheesy Wavestation demo from Korg.

  • Cool. I can't wait. I just picked up the VST version on sale the other month.

    I've had the 'Legacy Collection' for quite some time and I love what Korg did with iM1 making the M1 a lot easier to program than the desktop-version so I'm really looking forward to what they have done with the iOS version.

    Who knows maybe we'll get a souped-up iWavestation with integrated sampling (I can dream can't I hehe).
