Description
Creating sounds with time-varying timbre, on your mobile device.
KORG iWAVESTATION - A wave sequence synthesizer for iOS.
The WAVESTATION synthesizer went on sale in 1990. This instrument featured an advanced vector synthesis system which created new sounds by combining and connecting multiple waveforms; it provided a mix/morphing function that let you use a joystick to change the balance of four oscillators, and a distinctive wave sequence function that allowed you to place waveforms in a desired sequence to create sequence patterns. To this day, it continues to be considered a legendary and still-unique instrument.
Now in 2016, the WAVESTATION has been reborn as "KORG iWAVESTATION," an app for iPad/iPhone. In addition to completely reproducing the programs, it also features a renewed design that lets everyone experience the stupendous sound-shaping potential of the WAVESTATION. It features touch-based operation that's distinctive of iOS, in conjunction with a new graphic interface that allows you to visualize and edit the time-varying timbral changes that are distinctive of the WAVESTATION.
[ Features ]
- A faithful reproduction of the original WAVESTATION sound: In addition to providing the sounds from all PCM memories of the WAVESTATION, the new iWAVESTATION also reproduces in software every detail of the parameters, based on an analysis of the original hardware circuit diagram.
- A new wave sequence view that can be graphically controlled: 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.
- 1,500 sounds, more than 700 waveforms, 55 effects, and a powerful random sequence engine: This new instrument includes a stupendous number of presets and waveforms, covering all models of the series. iWAVESTATION also provides a new random sequence function which will give you different perspectives to inspire new sounds.
- Produce music together with KORG Gadget integration: iWAVESTATION can be used in conjunction with the "KORG Gadget" music production DAW app that has won numerous awards around the world. If both apps are installed, it can be used as the "Milpitas" gadget inside the KORG Gadget app.

Stevo3985,
A bit confusing, but seems really capable
I am actually well versed in synthesis and sound design, but this app is like a mind bending riddle to me. It is SO DIFFERENT from the typical analog, analog/digital hybrid, or digital FM based synths I am used to working with. The loops, the mixing, filtering, envelopes and effects chains concept seems so simple when you consider that these are all factors of a normal synth workflow, but with the different loop combinations and vector morphing considered, there are probably a billion different sounds you could program this to make, and not even be halfway to the bottom of the river of potential. I know this is going to take me a while to master, but I also know it will be worth it. Thanks Korg for putting this on sale! $15 was a pretty good deal for such an incredibly deep sound synthesis application.

Underrated synth
I’m really confused as to why this has such a low score, not only is this a 1-1 port in terms of sonic quality compared to the VST but the devs also crafted a gorgeous, totally custom UI for iOS to help edit patches and navigate modulation options. It’s also worth mentioning that unlike the lauded Odyssey, the Wavestation synth is an original Korg product whose design has always been digital, thus you are getting essentially the same product people payed lotsa $$ for in the 90’s.
No it’s not the same as programming the subtractive synth, but it’s meant to be a unique way of combining/layering preset synth samples over time. Complaints that the WS presets are dated is understandable but since you can edit each sample/layer’s level, pitch,asdr,lfo mod, built in fx and more, I don’t see what’s got people convinced that this is a Seinfeld music machine only.
Take some time to read the manual and expand yr mind past Moog clones.

Gitarzz,
Sounds Amazing And Fun...
Sounds fun? Yeah. This is really a very complex app. The sounds are stunning. Just amazing stuff. But I've tried just putting things together to create my own blend of sounds and beats, etc. but I feel like I'm getting nowhere.
I downloaded and attempted to read through the PDF manual but unfortunately the only time I have to do that is after work and it puts me right to sleep. The next day I don't remember what I read and have to start from the beginning. Not a complaint with Korg, just an explanation.
So, when I say it sounds fun that's because that's all I have to go on. As other reviewer's have pointed out, there's a bit of a learning curve.
Maybe one of these online education sites will do a class on how to use it. That would help a lot.
Once you purchase this app it then becomes available to you in Korg Gadget and the Gadget version is actually easier to use. You can't do any building in Gadget. You simply open the presets and play. You can do that in the app as well but you'll want to create once you get in there. The layout is very intriguing.
It works amazing in Gadget. If you don't have Gadget I highly recommend that as well. Much less learning curve and just amazing sounds.

Purpleibby,
No midi channel!!!!
There's no selectable global midi channel for the iWAVESTATION so if you're like me and spent a hundred bucks for a plug korg plug key to use it in a setup with other synths(like a module as it was advertised) it will be useless to you. How in this day and age do you leave out a selectable midi channel on a synth? It's a shame because it sounds great and the interface Is good minus a few quirks and bugs it's very pretty. In app purchase is awesome, sound great(I actually have the real cards)...but no midi channel is bad form from Korg, who is my fav synth company. I consider the iWAVESTATION and plugkey wasted money spent until they sort out the midi. Bummed!
grodriguezpersonal,
Bugs appearing on new iOS versions
This app is great, the development has been well established and this is still the best iteration of the Wavestation currently on the market. But as time goes on, and as Korg continues to avoid AUV3 implementation, it seems that compatibility problems are becoming more and more an issue. Outside of buggy OMNI/MIDI channel issues, one has cropped up that has made the app mostly unusable - many of the waveforms do not output any sound. Reinstalling does not work, restoring data packs does not work. Most of the stock patches and sounds do still work, but the vast majority of “CARD” waveforms do not make any sound. Now the app is only half functional. Hoping Korg can figure out what’s wrong with these files so that full functionality can be restored.
Solomon of Kleptolia,
Deep 90's nostalgia synth.
If you remember 1993 with any sort of fondness, you'll like this synth. I'm not even going to call it an app. It's an instrument. It's complex, and a bit confusing at first, but what you can get out of it is spectacular.
It's also expensive. I doubt anybody would buy a $30 app just for fun, but just in case you're thinking about it, I would recommend thinking twice. It's not really a musical toy. Those looking for instant gratification will be disappointed, most likely.
I'll admit, I haven't even used midi on it yet. I've only used touch controls and recorded it in Gadget. iWAVESTATION and Gadget are an incredible pairing. I also have the ARP Oddesei. Using all 3 together is out of control fun.
Over the past 5 years, I've become something of a Korg fanboy. Apps like this one are the reason why. Buying this kind of quality sound in hardware form would cost you $300+. I can carry it in my pocket for $30. That's the bottom line.

JibrilAb,
Excellent app but needs kinks worked out
As an owner of a Wavestation EX, I can say this app, like the Wavestation 'V' (LC) is true to the original sonically. I played through my amp & speaker system, along with the EX and couldn't detect any real differences in sound quality. Editing and programming is a breeze compared to the hardware versions. Unlike the iM1, I was immediately able to access the in-app store and download the EXB sound sets without a problem. There are some midi issues that need to be addressed; hopefully those will be fixed in a future update. I know, though, that I don't need to lug around a bunch of rack gear to get those pads and sequences I need and love. My iPad has become a huge sound module.
Aarakelian,
Almost held out for iM1
After buying a PlugKey, I figured I might as well buy this synth, rather than wait it out for an iPhone port of iM1. All I can say, is that I haven't put it down since. The PlugKey finally came today and this is definitely one of my favorite experiences with a synth!
As others have stated, the filters are still lacking. They're okay for low-passing, but the resonant filter has a pretty weak character.
The things that would make this synth complete would be sample import and a better filter. Other than that, KORG really nailed it with this port!

HouseOfHomuth,
Super deep Korg synth; great on iPhone!
Totally agree with the review written by "Classic Arcade Maniac" - iWavestation is a great iOS synth, in general, but the fact that it works so well on iPhone makes it particularly valuable. Korg's iM1 app is excellent - it's a huge library of sounds that is super accessible even to people with little knowledge of synths and sound design, but it is iPad only (except for the Gadget add-on). Fortunately, iWavestation can cover a lot of the same sounds with its massive library of patches. Integrates nicely into the ever expanding Korg Gadget universe, as well. Korg synths aren't dirt cheap, but they're well worth the price.
I make films,
AUv3 update please
As a Prosumer and Mobile Content Creator I believe that all Korg apps would benefit from the inclusion of AUV3.
On the customer side it would allow us to be far more creative on the fly and credit Korg.
On the Korg side of this lack of functionality, the Dev team could create new revenue streams from aging apps by way of charging more for this inclusion. (New customers only)
Korg would also have far more creative’s buy IAP because it would become more versatile.
I also believe that you doing so would still increase Korg hardware sales because we all grow.
Just a idea from a a supporter of the Korg brand.
I know you guys do actually read feedback and any update on this would be game changing for Mobile creative types.
*Side note*
Most of the competitors have released the AUV3 function, please don’t allow such a legendary brand fall to the bottom of the Mobile field.
Thanks
