Being my third-most-beloved synth maker (behind Sequential and Make Noise), and I always eagerly follow Korg's more innovative releases.
I've owned a couple Wavestations, the SR and the original keyboard (before they expanded the waveform memory). Whatever the degree of menu diving on the Wavestate SE actually is, those knobs suggest that it's way less than the original!
These days, I have a Wavestation in software in the form of the Korg Legacy Collection. It doesn't have the lanes and extra settings of the Wavestate, but the sound takes me way back.
