I still think Korg Electribe Wave is a phenomenal gift
If you’re currently interested in Korg’s iM1 and that feeling is bleeding across into iWavestation and beyond,
I will push you to look at Korg Electribe Wave from the point of view of a really excellent but not overly complicated synthesiser in the realm of the classic wavetable synths such as the PPG and others, but more approachable
Yes Wave can be used for mindless dance music but look beyond that, it’s a very comprehensive sequencer with motion lanes, it’s a drum machine with loadable samples (and Korg in the update a while ago gave us Doncamatic early drum machine sample sets) and then it’s a wonderful synth
It’s a synth with …well, it’s eight synths (with arpeggiators) with… four note polyphony, a single wavetable oscillator but also some highly useful modulation settings which govern how the modulation indexes into the wavetable, good filter (LPF/HPF/BPF), insert effects on each synth, and modulation sources with manual wave shaping on the modulation sources!
It also has song mode
I really think this app gets overlooked a lot and in my opinion more should be made of it that is outside of the dance genre, it’s very powerful and capable and can be used for the other kind of music too
Comments
Thanks for the tip! I don't own the Electribe Wave, but I do use Grooverider Gr-16. Both have pretty much same structure and both wavetables.
What would be the added value in the Korg's?
No idea – I don’t know anything about that other one
Electribe Wave is a very powerful wavetable with x-mod synth that was unfortunately sold as a cheesy dance music app with horrible edm presets.
I personally love using Electribe Wave as a plugin. I do agree the way it was marketed was for all the kids out there who want to create "baller EDM music". 😂 Not that EDM back then was all cheesy. (KSHMR comes to mind as a great modern EDM artist.)
But then again it's up to the user how they wish to use Wave.
It is good but a big limiter is the single synth engine… which may not be a problem for some. I bought the additional waveforms… plenty of mileage to be had!
A lot of us like using (too) many AUV3 effects too.
But yes, as a standalone groovebox, its great and to be fair, plenty of other apps are far too complicated to be considered a groovebox in my opinion.
pretty much agree… Wave is fantastic powerful groovebox with very cool sequencing features and great synth engine .. one of very few iOS apps with that “hardware” feeling
Agree. It is a very nice groovebox in standalone mode. Simple GUI. Easy to get stuff going, but can get deep if you dive into it.
Wish they ported the whole thing to AU, not just the synth part.
I adore korg wave. Wish it had midi-out.
A nice set of included wavetables and definitely a more powerful WT oscillator, not unlike Drambo's WT oscillator with its wave effects.
Bummer that Wave lacks GR16´s loop slicing.
I would say that GR16 is the more powerful groovebox overall but Wave is stronger on WT synthesis and it has that second LFO that I sometimes miss in GR16.
Both apps can sync over LINK and MIDI clock.
I wouldn't mind using both, they're both fun to use.
My only gripe is I can’t access the presets from drambo, wish is more of a Drambo problem tbh, but yeah.
That and the lack of a proper adsr envelope

Despite my acquired comfort ability with Drambo, all those things you’ve mentioned are my Achilles heel. Do you have any Drambo videos to suggest on the topic?
Here you have the steps to modify any wavetable, much quicker than a video 😊
I've used a simple sinewave here.
Great to see some love for Electribe Wave.
Thank you @rs2000 ! It’s this different way of connecting modules that I never figured out.
You're welcome @Blipsford_Baubie 😊
This thread inspired me to have a session with Wave and the last few hours have gone by in a blur. So much fun and with the depth of features necessary to keep me hooked (i-electribe is like a toy next to this)
I didn’t try it yet, but has anyone had any experience sequencing the standalone remotely? Would love to have some conditional triggers, note probability and other “advanced” sequencing features driving the standalone’s drum and synth engines
EDIT: Advanced midi setting allows control of all tracks, meaning a 16-track Drambo midi sequencer for Wave might be feasible 😅
