I’d been using my Kronos for wave sequencing, but found it cumbersome and very limited (all parameters same length and same sequence). Since one of its 3.x updates, Kronos allows you to edit Programs from within the Combi, which is another step closer to full MPE support. You can already do it manually on a Korg synth that has Combis whose Programs can each receive on their own MIDI channel. I still hope Korg embraces MPE support in the future. Each of the 4 parts being addressable on a separate MIDI channel is good enough for my experimenting right now. I also wanted MPE, but that was never even implied to be on any to-do list, and it wasn’t a deal-breaker for me, but rather a “nice to have” item.I think Microsoft and Korg got on the same page recently (so that I could probably use the current Windows version), but I’ll try the 1607 laptop first. This evening I’ll see whether the editor and updater get along with Windows 10 1607. Dan wasn’t kidding!Īnyway, I wasn’t kidding either, and things happened quickly, and I’m really enjoying my initial impressions of the Wavestate so far. Welp, as of the 2.0 update, it seems like all of my outstanding issues (personal deal-breakers) with the Wavestate finally have been resolved*. Dan Phillips (on another forum) said that they were doing that, and I said okay great, sure. Ha ha, for the past year and a half, I said the Wavestate seems like the perfect fit for me, but with the only window into the sample selection and big picture being that tiny screen and encoder, and with no facility for user samples (unlike the Kronos wavesequencing), and some other deal-breakers (for me), I said I wouldn’t buy one until they fixed all of those aspects.
