Groove3 KORG wavestate native Explained [TUTORIAL]
Join veteran Groove3 instructor Tyler Coffin for an in-depth look at KORG’s wavestate native, a software instrument version of the hardware synth that helped redefine wave sequencing, making an entirely new world of sounds possible. You’ll learn how to blend up to four layers, shape envelopes, filter sounds, add randomization, create complex modulation sequences, and much more. After the course, you’ll master this powerful instrument and be ready to design your own custom patches. These wavestate native videos are designed for new users.
Tyler starts off with a brief overview of wavestate native, discussing its relationship to its hardware counterpart (and compatibility), as well as some information about the instrument’s basic architecture. Then you’ll get a flyover of the interface and basic operations, so you can start poking around right away. After that, Tyler walks you through the Overview page, where you can find some common parameters for quick edits to various layers.
Next, explore the Synthesis page, where you can access the filter, pitch, and amp options for adjustment, followed by a look at the wave sequencing that’s available for each layer, resulting in a staggering amount of opportunity for sonic exploration. Other topics include modulation and vector synthesis (traditional modulation or vector-style, using a joystick or programmable vector envelope), setup, zones & scales (various performance options to aid in chord/scale creation and more), effects (added to each layer individually or the entire program), and more. Tyler wraps up the course with three different sound design examples so you can see how it’s done: bass, leads, and performances (using multiple programs).
The sound possibilities within the wavestate native are truly mind-boggling; that’s where this course comes in. From simply scrolling through presets and doing minimal tweaking to diving headlong into complex sequences and modulation, this course breaks things down in a structured, efficient way to make learning this impressive instrument fun and easy. Check out the individual KORG wavestate native video tutorial descriptions for more details on everything this synth can do and how you can make use of it in your own productions and beats.
