The ability to import user created sounds would be immensely helpful and enable use-cases for the Wavestate which may not be super obvious.
A use-case for the Wavestate (which I wanted to use it for) could for example be:
For game development: Creating evolving ambient background patches, an instrument like Wavestate is basically perfect - but often very specific sound elements are required, which cannot be replicated with the factory presets. For example, it could be bubbling lava sounds, forest noises, howling wolves or certain monster growls, etc. Some of those sounds may have to be very specific to the game production, and therefore the ability to upload user sounds to fill in would be a gamechanger for the usability of the device in this regard.
It would also be extremely interesting to see what it could do with sampled vocal/voice track mixing.
I don't know if this is the place to petition for this added functionality, but I really think Korg should prioritize this functionality for the Wavestate, it would open up so many possibilities.
What I hope does NOT happen, is that Korg wants to keep it locked down to sell future 'sound expansions' or something like that - my worries might be obviously tainted by the game industry and their questionable business schemes
It could be that wave files need to be indexed and set up with some program variables, but this could be handled with some sound import wizard via Sound Librarian, and maybe have initial values set to some defaults. Not every sound necessarily needs x variations / pitches so on, even if they may not sound optimal.
Great device, love it very much and still learning to use it, well done Korg!
