Experience a new wave of musical creativity with the KORG Modwave MKII Module. Featuring advanced sound processing technology and a sleek design, this module offers endless possibilities for sound manipulation and creation. Unlock your potential and elevate your music to new heights.

modwave builds on the legacy of KORG's DW-8000 and transforms it into a modern monster synth, featuring incredibly deep wavetable oscillators, gorgeous filters, wildly flexible modulation, unmatched polyphony, comprehensive pattern sequencing, and immediately satisfying hands-on control to deliver unique, powerful, and easily customisable sounds and phrases.

60 voices of polyphony, updated LFOs, and more

Like modwave mkII, the modwave module provides an astonishing 60 stereo voices of polyphony - almost double the original modwave's 32, and an unprecedented number for a wavetable synth at any price. The new 4U rack-mount enclosure has the same controls as the keyboard models, yet is easily transportable and fits neatly into any studio or desktop production system.

Responding to user requests, we've updated all LFOs with options for free running, delayed start, and retriggering. We've also added a pre/post switch for reverb sends, new modulation sources, and more. A software update will also be available for the original modwave.

The modwave module is fully compatible with the sounds and samples of the original modwave, modwave mk II, and modwave native software, as well as many excellent third-party libraries.

MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and Polyphonic Aftertouch support

With the latest software updates, all models of modwave, hardware and software, now support MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange and easy access to Polyphonic Aftertouch - making them excellent companions to KORG's Keystage controller.

Rack-Mount and Desktop

The modwave module is cleverly designed for both desktop and rack-mount use. The panel is redesigned to fit into a standard 19" width, and the rear jack panel is recessed to allow easy access to cables even with gear mounted directly above. With desktop setups, brackets offer a choice of panel angles: flatter for performing standing up, or more upright for working while seated in your studio.

Many musicians have requested a module version of the modwave. Now that components are once again available after a long period of supply-chain disruption, KORG is pleased to make that request a reality.

Key Features:

• Versatile form factor supports flexible desktop configurations for studio- or performance-optimised arrangements, fully removable for rackmounted use
• 4U, 19-inch profile and recessed rear panel streamline cable management and accessibility for painless use as a rackmountable module
• Loaded with over 200 characterful wavetables, each with up to 64 waveforms
• Modifier and morph features allow for a staggering 230 million wavetable variations
• 2-oscillator structure with 2-part multi-timbrality and 60-voice polyphony nearly doubles the voicing of its predecessor
• Includes modelled MS-20 lowpass/highpass filters, modelled Polysix lowpass filter, and Korg multimode filter
• Plenty of modulation with 4 envelopes, 5 LFOs, and aftertouch
• Extensive parameter controls include individual Motion Sequencing steps, which can yield up to 1,000 possible modulation destinations in a single Program
• 4 programmable Mod knobs give you custom access to whatever parameters you'd like to tweak most often
• Motion Sequencing 2.0 allows you to manipulate sample sequence, timing, and pitch independently to create complex, evolving patches with a nonlinear vibe
• "Lanes" provide unique ways to manipulate pitch, sample duration, gate times, step sequencer values, and much more
• Layer samples over wavetables from the included multi-gigabyte PCM library
• 13 morph types for stretching, squeezing, and altering wavetables in real-time
• Massive collection of built-in distortion, modulation, delay, and reverb effects
• Ample hands-on control over practically all parameters
• Built-in KAOSS Pad with KAOSS Physics encourages unprecedented interactivity
• Polyphonic legato, velocity sensitivity, exponential velocity, and release velocity ensure nuanced, expressive performances
