Korg Modwave MKII

For me, the Modwave is the top instrument in the series, alongside the Wavestate. It's actually quite puzzling that it's not available as a SE version. I initially had the version 1 with a 3-octave keyboard. When the racks arrived and the MK II quickly became popular, I started wanting to replace both of my keyboards. It takes up less space, and with the Wavestate module, both can be mounted in a mixer rack, making them portable for live use. That's a great feature. As for the instrument itself, the Modwave is a very special synth, which, in my opinion, is greatly underestimated. If more people knew what they had on their desks, more would buy it. Besides being a superb wavetable synth, it also has the original 16 wavetables from the DW 8000, in both static and scanable versions. With these wavetables, it's very easy to recreate all the sounds from the DW 8000. After all, digital is digital. The analog filters of the DW 8000 are easily matched by the Modwave's filters. When you combine the powerful sound design capabilities of the Modwave with its 5 LFOs and 4 envelope curves, and its full effects package, you can create sounds that other synths simply can't. For me, the Modwave is a highlight in the world of synths.
