Maybe it’s always been about this Korg.

Are free running LFOs in Modwave Native 1.1.3?

If so, you might already have the new features.

Seems like I do!

I'm still playing with the Native demo deciding if I can stand its interface. Korg so tabby. Looks nice though and sounds amazing. Decent presets even in the demo.

I'm thinking of a hardware wavetable synth in the future, so it seems like a good candidate. Waldorf is just too expensive. I also just love how eccentric it is, and maybe future updates will give us a granular effect.

AFAIK Modwave native doesn't really have freeruning LFOs (just yet). You can set a random startpoint but not truly freerunning.

Doesn't that produce the same result in practice?

Post

No it does not. Random startpoint is random. A freerunning LFO would link to song position pointer so that it renders identically every single time (plus a new phrase would start at a logical phase position based on LFO rate, not a random value).

It was a good deal so I bought it. I also have Wavestate Hardware/Native so they can go together like brothers!

Yeah I will probably get it. It is indeed a good deal. I think the sounds in there are actually more musically useful than the Wavestate, unless you are really in to layered sequences. Wavestate probably better for soundtracks and soundscapes, modwave probably better for music.

Both are really deep when it comes to motion in sounds.

Yeah just got it, it's such a cool and unique instrument I couldn't resist in the end.

Post

Yeah, it can do some lush analog pads.

I did some ordinary synth sounds with Wavestate, but it was so boring picking samples in a list for every PWM ratio you wanted and such. Really cumbersome for that.
- instead of just turning a knob on ordinary synth

So really made for sequencing.

Thought at first Modwave was cool in how they visualize movement with bouncing object and such. But too close to Wavestate(which I sold a year ago).

So got an OpSix instead as I found that magnitudes deeper in what you can do although not many good factory presets to start off with on first version, v2.0 sounds were way better.

Korg really impresses either way bringing something new.

Post

Yeah they really went in a different direction with these and all three are fantastic and unique. They are just cool instruments.
