video upload by Korg

Wavestate SE Pre-Order is currently $1999 on Korg's Reverb site here. The Platinum Edition runs $2199 here. The Wavestate MK2 is not currently listed.

"Organic, inspirational, and mind-blowingly powerful, wave sequencing 2.0 is expanding its lineup to include wavestate SE, wavestate Limited Edition Platinum, and wavestate mkII.

In 2020, the acclaimed wavestate brought the the legendary Wavestation's Wave Sequencing synthesis to the next level. Featuring the radically re-imagined Wave Sequencing 2.0, the wavestate delivers astonishing, ever-changing sounds with extensive hands-on control, taking cues from sources as diverse as modular synths, groove boxes, and algorithmic composition.

The mk2 expands its unique palette of lush, evolving pads and driving rhythms with improved polyphony (96 stereo voices), new and updated sounds, and a refreshed look. It has 4 GB of user space to import samples and its compact form-factor, with 37 full-size keys, transports easily and fits neatly into any stage, studio, or desktop setup.

Made in Japan, the wavestate SE features Korg’s premium 61-note natural-touch keyboard with aftertouch, for the same superb feel as Korg’s high-end workstations. Aftertouch provides fingertip control of the wavestate's unique, evolving sounds.

Factory Performances have been updated for Aftertouch, and new sounds have been added as well.​Under the hood, wavestate SE also features an astounding 120 stereo voices of polyphony–almost twice as many as the original wavestate, and also includes 4 GB of space to import your own samples.​

The metal body is sleek and strong, ready for gigs and studio alike. ​The metal knobs have just the right weight for easy tweaking.

wavestate SE is also available in a Limited Edition Platinum finish. And both versions ship in a dedicated hard case, including space for cables and a sustain pedal."
