Korg's DW-8000, launched in 1985, was a groundbreaking synthesizer that combined digital wavetable technology with rich analog filters, producing sounds unattainable by traditional analog oscillators. This unique blend of digital and analog elements has earned the DW-8000 a lasting reputation as a cult classic among synth enthusiasts.

Building on this legacy, the modwave, introduced in 2021, elevates the concept into a powerful modern synthesizer. It features deeply intricate wavetable oscillators, beautifully crafted filters, and extensive modulation options that allow for complex sound design. Additionally, the modwave offers advanced pattern sequencing and macro controls, making it possible to create distinctive, dynamic sounds and phrases tailored to any musical style.

The modwave native software brings the hardware experience directly into your digital audio workstation, available in VST3, AAX, AU, and standalone formats for both macOS and Windows. It enables seamless sound exchange between hardware and software, allowing producers to craft sounds on the hardware interface and effortlessly use them in their DAW, or collaborate with others using the software version. Owners of the hardware modwave can access a special crossgrade license, combining the tactile response of the physical instrument with the flexibility of full DAW integration.
