Korg Modwave MKII

Korg Modwave MKII – 37-Key Wavetable Synth with Motion Sequencing

The Korg Modwave MKII advances wavetable synthesis with expanded polyphony, expressive performance controls, and deep modulation. With Motion Sequencing 2.0, Kaoss Physics, and a hands-on layout, it’s built for evolving textures, animated pads, and punchy, rhythmic sound design.

Key Features

• 60-voice polyphony: Build lush layers and long releases without voice stealing
• Deep wavetable engine: Two wavetable oscillators plus sub/noise, A/B blend, morph types, and modifiers; load custom wavetables
• Motion Sequencing 2.0: Independent lanes (timing, pitch, shape, gate) for evolving, performance-ready phrases
• Kaoss Physics X/Y pad: Physics-based gestures turn swipes into organic modulation
• Advanced modulation: Five LFOs, four envelopes, two mod processors, and extensive routing—modulate almost any parameter
• Studio-grade effects: Pre-FX, modulation FX, multiple delays and reverbs, plus master EQ

Customer Benefits

Modwave MKII gives you immediate access to complex movement without menu diving. From cinematic soundscapes to kinetic sequences, its workflow encourages experimentation while the high polyphony keeps ideas sounding polished and full.
