WAVESTATION is a native Apple Silicon audio unit plugin for macOS, part of KORG's software synthesis lineup. It is a digital synthesizer featuring KORG's Wave Sequencing 2.0 synthesis engine, which splits timing, sample sequence, and melody into independent lanes to create evolving, organic sounds. The plugin provides 64 stereo voices, 4 layers with vector control, modeled filters (including MS-20 and Polysix models), and 14 simultaneous effects. It is distributed as an audio unit (AU) and can also run as a standalone application or in other plugin formats (VST3, AAX). A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of WAVESTATION already exists and is confirmed running on community Macs. Since WAVESTATION is an audio unit plugin distributed through KORG, update it via KORG's Software Pass or by visiting the KORG website directly. Download the latest WAVESTATION Native build from korg.com/us/products/software/wavestate_native/ — the installer will provide the native Universal Binary version automatically on Apple Silicon Macs. After installation, the plugin will appear in your audio unit hosts (DAWs like Logic Pro, GarageBand, or any other AU-compatible application) with noticeably better performance compared to running the Intel version under Rosetta 2. If you installed WAVESTATION as part of KORG Collection, ensure the collection itself is updated to the latest version, which includes the native build of all bundled instruments including WAVESTATION.
