In 2020, Korg announced the Wavestate, which is the successor to the Wavestation and features more hands-on control via knobs, more functionality, and upgraded wavesequencing with full control of each parameter. In 1991 Korg released the upgraded Wavestation EX, which added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acoustic instruments and drums, plus 8 additional multi-effects: Mod Pitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdrive and Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and MIDI implementation and control. It also features a digital filter, multi-effects and enables you to get deep into sound editing, although there is a lot of menu-diving involved. The Korg Wavestation is well known for creating lush ambient pads, soundscapes, cinematic sounds, textures and strange effects. It also features wavesequencing, which enables short segments of sampled audio to be played sequentially and cross-faded into each other for more complex sounds.

Released in 1990, the Korg Wavestation is an advanced vector synthesis synthesizer which allows for morphing of sounds between four points via the joystick.
