Great App!

I'm glad Korg finally brought the Wavestation to ios. The sound is superb. My only gripe with the app is it's export feature. It doesn't export to Korg Legacy .fxb format. I own both and find it easier to edit sounds in iWavestation. Please Korg implement this feature in an update. 5 stars when this happens.

Phenomenal app, however, this initial release does not include the ability to set the global midi channel which is a must have for anyone using multiple apps controlled by midi. Hopeful this is just an oversight that can be corrected soon.
FINALLY !

The iWAVESTATION is awesome ! I used to own ALL THREE hardware models - don't know if I think the sound quality is on par with the VSTi, haven't had a lot of time w/ it yet. The editing is vastly improved (especially over the SR ?) THE SR COULD READ 01/W cards, too ! Please include them as an IAP, PLEASE ! Also, fix the iM1 so it too, can allow us to load our own sounds in the GADGET VERSION as you have made capable with the iWAVESTATION The VECTOR JOYSTICK should ALWAYS be accessible on any page ! A floating & movable widget perhaps ?? All I know is that is a MUST ! Seeing that, what you make on the iM1 can be loaded into the VSTi -- We NEED to be able to do THAT with the iWAVESTATION & especially because it's easier to program & has the cool randomiser button ... Two stars knocked off until the VECTOR JOYSTICK is accessible everywhere
Almost held out for iM1

After buying a PlugKey, I figured I might as well buy this synth, rather than wait it out for an iPhone port of iM1. All I can say, is that I haven't put it down since. The PlugKey finally came today and this is definitely one of my favorite experiences with a synth! As others have stated, the filters are still lacking. They're okay for low-passing, but the resonant filter has a pretty weak character. The things that would make this synth complete would be sample import and a better filter. Other than that, KORG really nailed it with this port!
Add Tap Tempo, Midi Control FC ADSR, Better Piano
Waste my time
Hi this is a nice app if you just use the factory performances. It is easier to program than my SR and my Ex....but only a little easier... Please fix the performance save bug that writes random characters in the slot after the one I saved my performance in...on my iPad. Please add a tap tempo button and default MIDI support for filter cutoff, res?, attack, release and effects.
Could be bananas!!!

I love the new wave sequence that breathes fresh air into this classic synth! My only complaint is the lack of robust midi control. I would love to assign CCs to so many parameters instead of the handful that are currently available.
A bit of a learning curve but worth it

When Korg came out with keyboards that had menus you had to navigate thru, it was a little off putting compared to their analog synths that had all the knobs and sliders at your fingertips. The wavestation, while rich sounding and sonically opening new doors, it had menus to dig thru and wasn't the most intuitive for a lot of people. This offering is so much easier to tinkle with and tweak and get some cool results. Although it does have a bit of a learning curve should you decide to delve deeper, once you conquer some of its deeper features you can really see how this can take you really far and take you places a lot of iOS synths just can't go. I hope they add more user sound cards because I see myself building up a nice preset library. And speaking of libraries, Korg could stand to make improvements to all their iOS synths in terms of giving us a more organized browser, making it easier to find the sounds we're looking for faster.
Excellent app but needs kinks worked out

As an owner of a Wavestation EX, I can say this app, like the Wavestation 'V' (LC) is true to the original sonically. I played through my amp & speaker system, along with the EX and couldn't detect any real differences in sound quality. Editing and programming is a breeze compared to the hardware versions. Unlike the iM1, I was immediately able to access the in-app store and download the EXB sound sets without a problem. There are some midi issues that need to be addressed; hopefully those will be fixed in a future update. I know, though, that I don't need to lug around a bunch of rack gear to get those pads and sequences I need and love. My iPad has become a huge sound module.
Wavestation in an iPhone

As an original Wavestation owner, it is pretty amazing to have one in my phone with all the cards and an improved interface. Would love to be able to create sounds here and then send them to the hardware version and legacy version. I hope Korg continues to invest in this.
