There are four gnarly oscillators, each of which can output triangle, sawtooth and variable pulse waves. What we should say, though, is that the Legacy version of the synth remains true to the hardware's architecture in every important way. Thankfully, the software Mono/Poly offers clever ways to circumvent the problems associated with the original and even turns them into assets. This was a dicey proposition at best, though a powerful one for those with the patience for it. Only the bravest of users could get much use out of the hardware version in its polysynth guise, since each oscillator had to be adjusted separately. This was because it had something of a split personality: the synth could be used as a four-voice polyphonic instrument or, by ganging all of the oscillators together, as a monophonic synthesizer that was capable of producing supremely thick and ballsy tones. Engineers with an exhaustive knowledge of the WAVESTATION made careful adjustments in order to obtain the sound of the original instrument, something that cannot be obtained simply by sampling the original sounds.Released in 1981, the Mono/Poly was always an odd duck. For the hardware, we analyzed the circuit diagrams of the original design, and completely replicated the circuitry in software down to the last detail. The new iWAVESTATION also reproduces in software every detail of each parameter. In the KORG Collection WAVESTATION providing the sounds from all PCM memories of the WAVESTATION.

When you create a patch using multiple oscillators, the WAVESTATION lets you use vector synthesis to freely configure how the sound is modulated. The WAVESTATION differs most greatly from other synthesizers in how it lets you freely design and play wave sequences.

A wave sequence cross-fades a variety of waveforms, smoothly connecting these waveforms to let you play them. The WAVESTATION was the first synthesizer that enabled wave sequencing. A complete reproduction of the advanced vector synthesis system
