This originally negative post (now erased) of mine is now positive
ModWave - WaveState SE - and the 700s : Wow! Well done Korg - absolutely knocking it out of the park.
Sorry for doubting your company ethos.
Time to start showing Korg some TLC again - with out wallets  They really are THE complete synthesizer company

Personally I’m quite excited about the Modwave and really looking forward to an in-depth review.
I also greatly prefer Wavetable Synth’s over Analog. I just find them far more diverse in what sound they can produce.
I read you can load your own wavetables? Ooohhh need to know MORE.

| I love this last ModWave synthesizer, it's really gorgeous, as I also love the WaveState and the Minilogue XD very much ( I'm not a fan of the Opsix), they are the Top in terms of technology and performance... But ... why doesn't Korg decide to make a Super single 61-key synthesizer that contains them all? It would be a Dream! |

Propably that would be called Kronos 3...plus some more extra goodies...?

| Maybe... but a Kronos 3 would be more rather a workstation, what I mean is a next 61 keys Performance Synth which contains two or three of the current 37 key models. Who knows if it will ever be possible or will it ever happen |

I think the idea is brilliant - instead of replacing and increasing engines in Kronos 3 - make another one with 5-6 engines of these new nice units, maybe some analog too.
Something that goes on 2nd tier over Kronos 2. I never saw a keyboard player with one keyboard anyway.
Roland JD-Xa is that kind of hybrid with analog part and a lot from Integra in the digital parts..

I'm now on board Sharp !!!
The WaveState SE - have me _very_ excited!!
But the 700s - what an ABSOLUTE GEM! I know you're not big into analog synthesis - but - just look at it. It's a work of Art!
And working with the original engineers - it's not just the quality - it's the design "truth" and "honesty" underpinning their classic re-releases.
And I agree ( I was being a bit of a gripe in my last post now erased) - the ModWave looks _very_ exciting.
So impressed how Korg can pull off so many very different releases - simultaneously - at such a high, innovative level.
I did feel Korg lost their mojo for a while (in a serious way) - but - they are back! I honestly feel it there will be a new workstation in the coming years - I just do not see it as a problem to them - if this is waht they can do at such a rapid pace and to such high quality in synthesis. |

I"m also hoping to see these fine new synths combined into one like they did with the Kronos. Mind you, I"m hoping they can make a "Kronos 3" with these synths and also all of the ones that are already in it.
I can dream! I know I can!

The more I research this unit, the more I like it.
I have a number of Ensoniq pieces in my music area, consisting of the VFX, VFX-SD and (2) SQ-R+/32. I also have an SQ1+ for live use. These units feature wavetable synthesis and also feature Transwaves (which are unique to Ensoniq).
If I am reading everything correctly on the Modwave, it would be a modern extension of what my Ensoniq's already offer. With that said, it would be neat to have a modern take on them to a degree.
I will be awaiting a thorough review on it before pulling the trigger on one.
Grace,
Harry
