Description
Overview
If you’re after a synthesizer that can produce evolving, motion‑filled sounds that shift and morph over time, the KORG Wavestate Native brings the hardware wavestate’s powerful Wave Sequencing engine to your DAW. This isn’t just a simple sample player—it’s a full‑fledged software instrument that lets you create pads, rhythms, and textures that feel alive. With gigabytes of samples, modeled filters from classic KORG synths, and 64 stereo voices, you have enough sonic firepower for film scoring, electronic production, or sound design experiments. And because it’s the native software version, you can exchange patches seamlessly with the hardware wavestate, giving you the best of both worlds.
What Makes KORG Wavestate Native Unique
- ✓ Wave Sequencing 2.0 – KORG’s advanced technology that turns static samples into moving, evolving sounds
- ✓ Gigabytes of High‑Quality Samples – a vast library of waveforms, from classic wavestation sounds to modern textures
- ✓ Modeled Filters from MS‑20 & Polysix – authentic analog‑style filtering that adds warmth and character
- ✓ 64 Stereo Voices – enough polyphony for the densest pads and layered performances
- ✓ 4 Layers with Vector Control – blend and morph between four different sounds in real time
- ✓ 14 Simultaneous Effects – reverb, delay, modulation, and more to shape your sound further
Why Wave Sequencing Changes the Game
Traditional synthesizers play back a single waveform per note. The KORG Wavestate Native uses Wave Sequencing to string together multiple waveforms, each with its own timing, pitch, and shape. The result is a sound that never sits still—pads that breathe and swirl, rhythms that pulse and change, leads that evolve as you hold a note. It’s like having a modular synth’s movement and complexity in a streamlined plugin interface.
Because this is the official software counterpart to the hardware wavestate, you can load any preset or sample library made for the hardware unit. That means you have access to a growing ecosystem of third‑party sounds, all of which will work in your DAW. You can also create patches on the hardware and transfer them to the software for studio work, or vice‑versa.
Key Features at a Glance
- Evolving, Non‑Static Sounds – Wave Sequencing ensures that your pads, arpeggios, and textures are always moving, which adds instant interest to your tracks.
- Deep Modulation Options – Almost every parameter can be modulated via LFOs, envelopes, or the vector joystick, giving you immense creative control.
- Authentic KORG Character – The included MS‑20 and Polysix filters recreate the vibe of those classic instruments, so you can add analog‑style grit and warmth.
- Seamless Hardware/Software Workflow – Share patches between the wavestate hardware and wavestate native, allowing you to produce in the studio and perform on stage with the same sounds.
Who Is This Synthesizer For?
- Film & Game Composers – who need evolving pads and atmospheric textures that fill a mix with motion.
- Electronic Music Producers – looking for a synth that can generate complex arpeggios, rhythmic sequences, and lush pads in one instrument.

- KORG Hardware Owners – wanting to extend their wavestate’s capabilities into the DAW environment.
- Producers Seeking “Alive” Sounds – tired of static, unchanging presets and want instruments that feel organic and dynamic.
