Is anyone using any gear to make their Wavestate sound dirtier and more lo-fi? I’ve been thinking about getting one and am keen to know what old school effects units might be good at bringing it closer to an old school, gritty rompler type sound. I know it has a built-in decimator effect but I’d be wanting more authentic results. Maybe a MIDIVerb 2 or SE50 or DP2/4?
It’s available!

Loving your work.
Intsapurchase!
There goes this evening then!
@Astrolab
So good!
I’m so glad you like it! Don’t hesitate to give me your feedback!
What do people think the chances are a future update gives ability to import user samples?

this would be a game changer. instant-buy.
That would be amazing; just amazing
According to Kwas, the Kong rep, they can add a user loaded samples feature.
Watch to the end.
I can’t predict the future, but …

Or it’s sibling.

I was completely and utterly lost (in a good way) in your Fractal performance patch until the wee small hours last night/ this morning. Teamed with the Dreadbox Typhon I was transported to somewhere beyond the Outer Rim.
Really, REALLY lovely stuff.
Thank you.

You’re VERY welcome. Instabuy next week.
Just giving this a mention.
Stunning work from our fellow 'naut @Astrolab
The complexity and depth of these are truly bewildering and really demonstrate the power of the Wavestate.

Firmware update last week!! Looks like mostly just bug fixes but nice to see ongoing support.
Release notes
-
Tempo synchronization has been improved, especially when notes are held for a long time.
-
Previously, MIDI Clocks with extremely high jitter could cause synchronization problems with tempo-based Wave Sequences. This has now been fixed.
-
If Steps are added to a lane (either by adding Steps or by changing the Wave Sequence or Lane Preset), their parameters are now modulatable immediately, without need to switch to a different Layer and then back again.
-
Previously, Note Advance would increment separately for each Unison Voice. It now increments once per note.
-
Previously, changing the selections for Layer, Lane, Envelope, LFO, Effect, and Performance Mod Knobs would put the sound into the Edited state (since the selections are saved with the Performance), interfering with Com- pare. Now, these selections do not affect Compare.
-
Amp LFO Intensity can now be chosen for modulation by selecting the on-screen parameter and pressing ENTER. (Previously, it could only be chosen by moving the front-panel knob.)
-
Previously, rapid Performance changes could cause a crash, especially in conjunction with high-density MIDI CC activity. This has now been fixed.
-
Previously, rapidly and repeatedly selecting a Performance, editing, and then selecting a new Performance could eventually cause a crash. This has now been fixed.
-
Previously, if a Program was renamed in the Sound Librarian, the new name would appear in selection dialogs, but the old name would be shown elsewhere. This has now been fixed.
-
Names of some of the factory sounds have been changed. Some have been shortened so that they fit within 24 characters. “Ski Beatz” has been changed to “Marimba Beats.” These changes have no effect on any user sounds.

@Astrolab No no, thank YOU! 
Bit of a random question.
My friend has just bought a Wavestate. It’s his 1st and only piece of music gear, so all a bit daunting.
After using it for a week he says that the WaveSTATION and Synth Guru presets have disappeared. Someone on the Korg Forums has mentioned the same thing but has yet to get an answer. Person on the Korg Forum says they disappeared from the actual unit after using the Librarian for the 1st time. My friend hasn’t used the Librarian yet though.
Any similar experiences?
Cheers!
I had a very odd experience after a electrical storm induced power cut in the Mothership a few weeks ago, that seemed to lose all the wave sequencing/motion. Everything seemed to be there in the patch/performance menus but everything sounded like static/simple patches. I did a “system restore” or something similar via the editor (not sure that is the actual name of the function and i’m on location so can’t check for a couple of days but it’s pretty obvious. Top left corner, drop down menu, it’s there somewhere) and it sorted it and I didn’t lose any of my own patches/performances. I did shit myself temporarily though.
Hope this helps.
