Korg Wavestate Drum Programming Tutorial
The Korg Wavestate is very well-suited for ambient soundscapes, but it also can serve as a drum sequencer. In this tutorial, we explore the basics of drum programming within the Wavestate, going from sample selection, to programming our tempo, to making variations, to playing with phasing between the timing and sample lanes. Future tutorials will cover more advanced generative techniques through modulation routing for algorithmic percussive patterns.
