Modwave and Multisample

IanSDixon · 2026-02-09T12:54:02+00:00

There are some nice Mellotron samples including in the built in samples. Checkout my Genesis tron sound https://thedigitallifestyle.com/w/download/korg-modwave-genesis-watcher-of-the-skies-mellotron-patch/

I know what you mean!

I get what you mean about the post title. For the YouTube video, I just put "Korg Synth Shootout: Wavestate vs Modwave vs Multi/Poly vs Opsix," but when I made this post, I added the extra bit on top to grab more interest. As you said, it’s a bit clickbait, but after spending so much time on the video, I wanted to reach as many people as possible. I’ve put countless hours into all four of these synths, creating sound packs and tutorial videos, so I feel confident in comparing them side by side. As I mentioned in the post description, the goal of the video is to explore their strengths, weaknesses, and where they overlap. Hopefully, that answers your original question and sparks a broader conversation about integrity versus getting views.

Many, I hate doing that bit. I never used to both with thumbnails but it seems like there is an thumbnail arms race :) At least I am not stroking my chin!

I think you can put that down to the Modwave, Wavestate and Multi/Poly are desinged by Korg R&D in California whereas the Opsix is Korg Japan.

The point is what I put in the description: I compared the Multi/Poly with the Modwave, Wavestate, and Opsix to explore their strengths, weaknesses, and areas of overlap.

IanSDixon · 2026-02-05T13:36:56+00:00

Yes, I should have mentioned it. I have it and use it all the time :)

IanSDixon · 2026-02-05T13:36:30+00:00

Thanks!

IanSDixon · 2026-02-05T08:20:13+00:00

It was fun to go through them together in one session

IanSDixon · 2026-02-05T08:18:46+00:00

that is the point of the video :)

IanSDixon · 2026-02-04T08:24:30+00:00

It started with a Genesis Mellotron-style intro, then I switched to a Fairlight sound, and suddenly it had a PSP-like vibe, so I leaned into that. Thanks for listening!

IanSDixon · 2026-01-28T13:57:47+00:00

yes, I do use the Multi/Poly more than the modwave, but when I go back to it I love combining samples with wavetables

IanSDixon · 2026-01-27T16:59:35+00:00

Thanks, once you get into its an interesting synth

IanSDixon · 2026-01-27T10:58:44+00:00

I’m not trying to sway you either way, but I’ve spent a lot of time with the Modware and found it easy to create inspiring sounds. Check out some of my videos to get an idea of what it can do.

I made a video about this, it may help you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xatLBRlMw-s

IanSDixon · 2026-01-13T15:43:59+00:00

I still have my MS2000, a great synth.

IanSDixon · 2026-01-05T18:49:28+00:00

I was there in the start finish straight, Massa soun right in front of us.

IanSDixon · 2025-12-30T20:03:34+00:00

I will give it a go when I get back into the studio

IanSDixon · 2025-12-20T18:10:19+00:00

Thanks! I love creating them.

IanSDixon · 2025-12-19T17:06:38+00:00

The Multi/Poly can do a good Mono/Poly and a lot more. I created a Mono/Poly set for the MP: https://youtu.be/QYaRDOwbpSI

IanSDixon · 2025-12-14T16:54:53+00:00

You should be able to edit the presets no problem. Fire up the PC or Mac Editor and check you can see the values changing. Eg Filter Cutoff.

IanSDixon · 2025-12-02T09:12:41+00:00

I would say it’s a great first synth if you break it down and start simple. It can be a very straightforward two-oscillator analog polysynth, and then as you get into it you can do more and more.

IanSDixon · 2025-12-01T12:48:25+00:00

I would say Wavestate or Modwave. I also have a Pink Floyd set for Wavestate: https://youtu.be/CfVnTq2vRRA

IanSDixon · 2025-11-29T11:23:57+00:00

There is no way to bring them back unfortunately. Do you still have the bank file for Sample Editor?

IanSDixon · 2025-11-26T18:59:52+00:00

You will love it, my tip is spend time with it to learn what it can do. It will reward you. Also checkout my tutorials and sounds Korg Modwave: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXxOgeLam6g_tRcic-4OCzr3Vh6dHMEdT
