Make no mistake, this keyboard changed the synthesiser world drastically and is still widely used today. You can quite literally play an entire soundtrack style sequence by pressing just one key. The synth is capable of some seriously lush pads, ambient sounds and crazy effects sounds that are not possible on subtractive or FM synthesisers. The samples come loaded into the Wavestation's built in ROM and are fully programmable. A hugely successful synthesiser for Korg in the early 1990s, the Korg Wavestation is what's known as a vector synthesizer (borrowed from Sequential's R&D) and is capable of what's known as "wave sequencing", a very interesting form of synthesis indeed! To briefly explain, wave sequencing is when sampled audio is chopped up and sequenced in a cross faded format, creating some extremely dynamic and continuously changing sounds.
