Korg Wavestation
The Korg Wavestation is a vector synthesis synthesizer first produced in the early 1990s and later re-released as a software synthesizer in 2004. Its primary innovation was Wave Sequencing, a method of multi-timbral sound generation in which different PCM waveform data are played successively, resulting in continuously evolving sounds. The Wavestation's "Advanced Vector Synthesis" sound architecture resembled early vector synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS.
Designed as a "pure" synthesizer rather than a music workstation, it lacked an on-board song sequencer, yet the Wavestation, unlike any synthesizer prior to its release, was capable of generating complex, lush timbres and rhythmic sequences that sounded like a complete soundtrack by pressing only one key.〔 - see "The Wavestation Family"〕〔 - see heading "1990" & "Milestone—The Wavestation Family"〕 ''Keyboard Magazine'' readers gave the Wavestation its "Hardware Innovation of the Year" award,〔(Jungleib Archives ) 1991〕 and in 1995 ''Keyboard'' listed it as one of the "20 Instruments that Shook the World."
The Wavestation lineup consisted of four models: the Wavestation and Wavestation EX keyboards, and the Wavestation A/D and Wavestation SR rackmount sound modules.
== Design concept ==
The two primary synthesis concepts designed into the Wavestation were Wave Sequencing and vector synthesis, the latter Korg dubbed "Advanced Vector Synthesis." Although the Korg Wavestation was the first keyboard that used Wave Sequencing, its roots can be traced back to earlier wavetable synthesizers, such as the PPG Wave produced by Palm Products GmbH in the early 80s and the Prophet VS by Sequential Circuits, Inc. in 1986. Wave Sequencing improved on Prophet VS by incorporating the ability to crossfade up to 255 waveforms, rather than only four.〔 - see heading "Crossfade to Wave Sequencing"〕 Moreover, a wave sequence can be programmed to "jump" to any PCM wave in ROM memory, whereas similar synths were designed to move sequentially through the wavetable. By combining wave sequencing with vector synthesis—the process of mixing and morphing between multiple voices—the Wavestation differed from other PCM-based sample playback synths ("romplers") of the digital era.
