The portamento is extremely 'zippered' which really bugs me, and of course programming from the front panel is tedious. The MW easily sounds the most analogue (duh!) and does very nice poly- and mono-synth sounds.
#Korg wavestation vs korg wavestation ex 1990 update
A fantastic update to a much-loved synth line.I have a Microwave, and XT, and a Wavestation MusicRadar verdict: The Wavestate manages to be both a faithful tribute to a ’90s classic and offer cutting-edge sound design tools for the 21st century. This has future classic written all over it. The price is a winner too particularly so given the voice count and multi-timbral engine. As with its predecessor, there’s a distinctive, digital quality to the overall sound (even with those emulated filters), though I don’t mean that as a negative – the engine is capable of being detailed and complex in a way that isn’t possible with an analogue poly. Sonically, the synth nails what Wavestation fans expect – even just as a preset machine, this is an awesome source of rich, pulsating pads, oddball textures and powerful multi-timbral patches. Korg has done a fantastic job of walking the line between being faithful to a classic and offering something new.
Taken as a whole, the Wavestate is an excellent instrument. It all adds up to yet more sound-shaping power for an already powerful instrument.

There’s a wide variety of emulated delays and reverbs included too, and most of the effects can be modulated from the synth’s main mod matrix. There’s a broad range of processing on offer here including a host of chorus, phaser and ensemble modes.

This has three effect slots per-layer, labelled Pre-FX, Mod-FX and Delay, plus global Reverb and parametric EQ. The final element in the Wavestate’s signal path is a multi-effects processor. The Polysix and MS-20 filters have a high gain option too, to emulate filter overdrive. This fourth option actually reveals a total of 12 filter models, including multiple 2- and 4-pole variants, both low- and high-pass MS-20 models and a Multi Filter, which effectively offers three filters at once. A front-panel button lets users flip quickly between Polysix LPF, MS-20 LPF and a 2-pole HPF model, as well as a fourth selection labelled ‘more’. Korg has remedied that here with the inclusion of multiple resonant filter models, including emulations of both the Polysix and MS-20 filters. One of the weaker aspects of the original Wavestation was its filter, which lacked resonance and character. The Wavestate receives polyphonic aftertouch via external MIDI, but it’s a shame not to have it built-in. There’s one omission on the modulation front though, in that there’s no aftertouch from the built-in keyboard (although it does have velocity and release velocity). There are also six assignable performance, rotaries on the front panel, a complex modulation matrix – allowing for the depth of any routing to be modulated by a secondary source – and a pair of Eurorack-like modulation processors. There’s a lot more to the Wavestate’s modulation options aside from this though, including per-voice envelopes and LFOs for amp, pitch and filter, plus an additional LFO for pan position (each of the Wavestate’s 64-voices is stereo).
