WAVESTATION is a VST synthesizer plugin from KORG that brings the legendary Wave Sequencing synthesis engine into digital audio workstations. It recreates the iconic sound of KORG's original Wavestation hardware from 1990, featuring Wave Sequencing 2.0 (which splits timing, sample selection, and melody into independent, modulatable "Lanes"), extensive modulation capabilities, 64 stereo voices, 4 layers with vector control, 14 simultaneous effects, and access to gigabytes of high-quality samples. Music producers, composers, and sound designers use WAVESTATION in their DAWs for everything from lush evolving pads to complex rhythmic sequences. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Universal Binary version of WAVESTATION is available and has been confirmed running on Apple Silicon Macs. Update via KORG's vendor update tool — the most straightforward path is to visit KORG's official product page for Wavestation Native and download the latest Universal Binary installer, or if you originally obtained the plugin through KORG's Software Pass or direct license manager, use that tool's update function to pull the native build. The native version delivers noticeably better CPU performance and responsiveness in your DAW compared to running the Intel build under Rosetta. Ensure your DAW itself is also on a native Apple Silicon build — both the host and the plugin must be native for the performance benefit to be fully realised.
