Sounds and looks like a terminator

MrBattlehunter 25.01.2024

I've had the modwave mk2 for about a month now and i really like it! altho it also has some lesser sides to it.

first impressions so far,
pros:
-Super impressed with the sound engine
-LOTS of wavetables and FX to choose from
-LOTS of modulation options for the wavetables (especially triggers for env/lfo are interesting)
-Plastic makes it light weight/easy for traveling
-Direct access to most things you will want to edit through knobs
-just barely touched the sequencer but it seems very powerfull and unique since its per note
-Some FX i havent seen in other synths yet like guitar amp and wahwah
-many custom mod knobs
-khaos pad+physics
-very easy to switch presets for live performance (16x4banks) right above your keys

cons:
-had some crashes/freezing while saving a preset, fingers crossed firmware update fixed this.. have to wait and see
-cant use LFO's or envelops to modulate FX, which sucks big time
-the plastic/lightweight makes it feel cheap
-keyboard is a bit noisy and no aftertouch
-FX rely on presets instead of direct access to some options making it hard to find the right effect you want sometimes
-Price (compared to mk1)

Endless modulation, endless fun!

GergoKovacsJazzPiano 31.08.2024

Just get it 3 days ago. You have to get used to the menu system, but after that true MIRACLE.
Great addition to my Prophet 6 and my Kurzweil.
Cons :
1 FILTER Polisix filter great for traditional pads, while MS 20 makes alive complex digital wavetables.
2. SUB: The sub is practically a 3rd oscillator, I used triangle at the same octave, to give punch.
3. MOD matrix: My favourite to use note number to modulate speed of lfo's so lower notes modulate slower then higher, best natural chorus.
4. CHAOSS PAD: Still learning, but great to get somewhere unexpected!
5. EFFECTS: Great, love the cathedral reverb.
6. The instrument is BEAUTIFUL, and QUALITY excellent, all knobs react smoothly, keys great synth action.

Neutral:
For my jazz setups 3 octave fine, for pads, leads, bass.
For Bach, I'd need a midi key with 4 octave.

Cons:
The more I dig into the modwave the more I think I'd need the wavestate too ;-)

Superbe

Tabazan 01.03.2024

Mon profil : musicien, utilisant des synthés depuis des lustres, intéressé par des gros sons, un synth facile à configurer et prendre en main ... avec un logiciel bien fait. Je veux pas de truc trop techniques ou prise de tête.

Le Korg coche toutes les cases, largement.

Léger (et très plastique), boutons précis et doux, écran très suffisant et lisible.

Les sons ... excellents, modernes (mais différents des autres synths) facilement éditables. Gestion de la base simplissime, mise à jour idem.

Très bon logiciel (ah si Behringer pouvait faire un truc du genre pour le Deepmind 🥺)

Bref, un super achat ❤️

(commande et livraison lamentable de Thomann, comme d'hab ... à peine commandé il arrivait déjà en parfait état. Faut que ça change ça 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣)
