Also, I believe earlier in the thread there were comments from experienced Wavestation and/or iWavestation users about what they felt were usability improvements in Wavestate over the now-older stuff, as well as Wave Sequencing 2.0.
When I look at photos of the Wavestation and compared to Wavestate, an obvious difference is knobs. Lots, of knobs. Wavestation has one “knob” and everything else is buttons and a display w/ menus.
If you think of Wavestate only as a sample player, then you’re not going to get your money’s worth out of it, even at the relatively small price compared to the Udo and so on.
