Korg Modwave MKII

Sounds and looks like a terminator

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)
