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. You can pursue a faithfully recreated sound that could never be obtained merely by sampling the original hardware.

Although the original WAVESTATION held enormous potential as a sound engine, its complex editing structure meant that sound design required a certain amount of knowledge and understanding, earning it a reputation as an instrument that was by no means straightforward to approach. In 2004, the WAVESTATION software synthesizer was released with an improved interface as part of the "KORG Legacy Collection."

Now with 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. With intuitive parameter control using touch operation and a smooth motion graphic that conveys the movement of that sequence, you'll enjoy unprecedentedly flexibility for editing. You can freely control all of the multi-leveled elements of the WAVESTATION's programs, including sounds, effects, and wave sequences.

The original engineers who were involved with the development of the original WAVESTATION participated in redesigning the interface. Numerous functions and ideas that were not possible with previous technology have been implemented in iOS, the platform of today.
