even considering the nice interface full of knobs that help to quickly edit the sound, what do you think about the possibility to have a proper mac/pc editor to make the same operations ina easier way?

Do you think that Korg will consider this possibility?

Yes. It says so in the manual.

You could be right. I'm assuming that it has the ability to edit.

Just had a quick look for other KORG Librarians and what KORG defines them as.

Bearing that in mind, I think I'm wrong and that the Librarian may indeed only be to organise sounds.

I like the wavestate, I will buy pretty soon, but if korg will realize a pc editor it will be perfect

I hope some korg representatives will consider this idea AND the possibility to import user samples Very Happy

Sometimes it's better to do one thing really good - rather than many things half baked.

A lot of overhead comes with user samples
- you need to map to a root key
- you need settings to which range of keys
- you need room for sample on every key
- you need stretching algorithms which takes cpu
- maybe to do it right, layer samples to velocity ranges.
- it will take room from storing performances, programs, wave sequences

There is no manual to new Nord Wave 2 yet, so could not get into details.
But MRSP $3999, 61 keys with aftertouch.

But they made an editor to make that happend.
But you can probably do what Akai MPC series do, is my assumption and then some.

Most likely in my view for Wavestate:
- you get a firmware update with more requested sounds at some point

or possibly make a sdk to have knowledgeable people also make wavetables that can be uploaded in librarian. Like they did for oscillators and effects for Prologue. But it was room and cpu power accounted for at design state.

Or maybe Korg has a new sampler on the horizon. I have no knowledge of what's inside a Kronos - so maybe overlapping that.

The Wavestation Sound Librarian has been released. It's not a full-blown parameter editor, rather an organisational tool, but could be quite useful.

I have used this librarian,it's super basic.
nothing close to what Korg needs to release soon to actually use the wavestate in a more elegant sound design fashion.

hopefully this is coming soon.

For example, the librarian allows us to export ,rename ,but nothing as far as editing sounds. Please Korg send us a proper editor.

Was there an editor for Wavestation back in the day?

Something to build on, I mean, not having to start from scratch.

Since not documented about sysex more than universal tuning - one wonders how far they expected to go.

Prologue was planned SDK from start for use with Minilogue and Prologue as I understood it.

If that give an indication if one will arise or not....

No offense to the nay sayers, but the wavestate is a complete Monster compared to the wavestation, and as far as programming patches goes, same thing for prologue and minilogue as well.

I'm content if they do or don't to be honest, as it really won't stop me from making music,it'll just take longer to create patches vs having a dedicated piece of kit that can make use of the ALL the features this beast.

My point is,and I think what Nick from Sonic State is also saying is, I think Korg will kill this product for the masses if it's not developed differently,from every single synth you just mentioned. It's a completely different animal.

I had the prologue 16 for awhile, and it was nothing compared to the complexity of this one imho. I just hope they don't try and sell it as preset synth, and they actually make it easier, and give the Wavestate more OPTIONS to create with.

It's a pity there isn't some sort of memory reader interface (SD card, USB stick). At the moment, the only way to share Wavestate Performance and other data, is via USB and computer.
