KORG modwave native Explained
Join synth guru Tyler Coffin for a deep look into modwave native from Korg, the virtual version of the famous hardware unit first released in 2021. In this modwave native course, you'll learn all about what makes this wavetable synth so powerful in terms of motion sequencing, modulation possibilities, and sound design, among other things. Tyler covers all the features and functions, including hardware and VI integration, along with showing you how to create classic sounds from scratch! These mod wave native videos are designed for new users.
Videos
• Introduction & Overview (02:17) - To start things out, we take a brief look at the broad aspects and nature of KORG's wavetable synthesizer in software form, fully compatible and exchangeable with its hardware counterpart.
• Basic Interface & Operation (05:18) - In this video, we get an overview of the Modwave Native's interface and how we can use it as well as the different parts and sections within it.
• The Play Page (04:41) - The Play Page is where we can find commonly used parameters to make quick edits to sounds. Here, we get a look at these abbreviated options so that we can jump into each of them more deeply as we move on.
• The Synthesis Page (11:23) - Jumping into the Edit pages, the Synthesis Page is where we can access all of the detailed synthesizer options from wavetable selection to filters. In this video, we see this section.
• The Sequencer & Arp (13:01) - In addition to the synthesizer, each layer also has its own sequencer and arpeggiator to allow for programmed movement and changes of notes and parameters.
• Modulation & Kaoss Physics (12:20) - Along with intuitive traditional modulation sources, we also have a physics-based model for dynamic parameter modulation in the Kaoss Physics section. Here, we go through each option.
• Layer & Main Effects (10:26) - Sometimes it can be beneficial to add some extra sparkle from the Layer or Main Effects. Here, we see how these can be applied in either situation.
• Setup & the Librarian (06:40) - In this video, we see how all of our sections work together in a broad sense. Then we take a look at how we can load, save, and browse programs, performances, and data in the Modwave Native???s Librarian.
• Sound Design Example: Bass (07:30) - Here we use our knowledge of the Modwave Native to make a relatively simple bass sound, and explore a few ways to alter it further.
• Sound Design Example: Lead (10:14) - Here we use our knowledge of the Modwave to use the wavetables for a monophonic lead sound, and explore a few alternative ways it can be handled.
• Sound Design Example: Performance (07:57) - Here we explore some options in the Modwave to make a few examples of program layers building together to create performances.
• Review & Conclusion (05:11) - To close things out, we get a brief review of all that we've learned in the Modwave Native plus a few closing remarks and tips so that you are fully prepared to dig in and create your own great sounds in KORG's versatile wavetable instrument.
