Wavestate Mk2 Wave Sequencing Keyboard Synthesizer

KeyboardDigitalPolyphonic

Wave Sequencing first exploded onto the scene in the '90s with the original Wavestation, creating those hypnotic, evolving textures that defined a generation of electronic music. The mk2 takes that legacy further with Wave Sequencing 2.0, letting you sequence waves, samples, and effects in lanes that morph endlessly for rhythms, pads, and everything in between.

This all-digital powerhouse packs 96 stereo voices of polyphony across four layers, each with its own arpeggiator, effects, and modulation options like three envelopes, three LFOs, vector envelopes, and a deep mod matrix. Hands-on control shines through the vector joystick for blending layers, eight macro knobs, pitch/mod wheels, a random button for instant inspiration, and a crisp OLED display. Full-size 37-key velocity-sensitive action (with release velocity) feels great under your fingers, paired with modeled filters like MS-20 and Polysix, 14 simultaneous effects, and 4GB sample storage for your own imports. At just 2.9kg and compact dimensions, it's road-ready with balanced outs, MIDI I/O, USB, damper input, and low 5W power draw.

Players love how it bridges vintage vibe with modern workflow—those seamless set lists and smooth sound transitions make live sets a breeze, and the updated library of 261 performances, 799 programs, and over 1,000 wave sequences has kept it fresh in studios worldwide.
