Sound Design with Korg Modwave Synthesizer


Synthesist Ian Dixon shared this series of videos that look at sound design on the Korg ModWave synthesizer.

The Korg Modwave is a modern synth design that builds on the capabilities of the classic DW-8000. It features distinctive wavetable timbres, Kaoss Physics, and Motion Sequencing 2.0.

The tutorial offers a comprehensive introduction to sound design with the Korg Modwave. The tutorial applies both to the hardware Korg Modwave and the Korg Modwave Native plugin.

Samples and Motion Sequencing:

The second video in the series looks at how to use the samples integrated into the Korg Modwave, along with harnessing the powerful motion sequencer to modulate multiple parameters on the Modwave.
