About Wavestation
The WAVESTATION was the first synthesizer that enabled wave sequencing. A wave sequence cross-fades a variety of waveforms, smoothly connecting these waveforms to let you play them. The WAVESTATION differs most greatly from other synthesizers in how it lets you freely design and play wave sequences.
When you create a patch using multiple oscillators, the WAVESTATION lets you use vector synthesis to freely configure how the sound is modulated.
This high degree of flexibility provided by the oscillators is what generates the sounds that are so distinctive of the WAVESTATION, such as rhythmic percussion sounds and pads that have a sense of motion.

A New Wave Sequence View
Although the original WAVESTATION held enormous potential as a sound engine, its complex editing structure meant that sound design required a certain amount of knowledge and understanding, earning it a reputation as an instrument that was by no means straightforward to approach. In 2004, the WAVESTATION software synthesizer was released with an improved interface as part of the "KORG Legacy Collection."
Now with the iWAVESTATION, we advance another step with a graphical user interface that takes advantage of the touch operations that are a characteristic of iOS. Even more than ever, we've updated the screen design with an emphasis on creating sequences. With intuitive parameter control using touch operation and a smooth motion graphic that conveys the movement of that sequence, you'll enjoy unprecedentedly flexibility for editing. You can freely control all of the multi-leveled elements of the WAVESTATION's programs, including sounds, effects, and wave sequences.
The original engineers who were involved with the development of the original WAVESTATION participated in redesigning the interface. Numerous functions and ideas that were not possible with previous technology have been implemented in iOS, the platform of today.

KORG Gadget Integration
iWAVESTATION can be used in conjunction with the "KORG Gadget" music production DAW app and is compatible with Audiobus and Inter-App Audio, and can also be used as a sound module for GarageBand.
Vector Control
One of the features of the original WaveStation synth is the vector control that allows the user to manipulate the vector synthesis in real-time.
This vector control as been re-created in 3D and transposed to iOS allowing the user to feel as if they are using the legacy hardware.
