It provided an innovative way to sound production and live performance by combining step-sequenced looping chains of short-duration waveforms with a Vector Joystick to crossfade between four levels of these sequences.
The Wavestation was hampered by memory constraints and user interface limitations of the time, yet it was a beguiling computer that piqued people's interest.
It was a sleek, eye-catching instrument with few front panel controls, but more crucially, it was the first device to use Wavesequencing paired with Vector synthesis, courtesy to a cooperation with Dave Smith and the Sequential Circuits team (responsible for the Prophet VS Vector Synthesiser). Korg released their first Wavestation in 1990, following the spectacular success of the M1 and the more sophisticated T series.
