Join synth expert Alberto Rizzo Schettino for an intensely thorough look at KORG's formidable Modwave Mk II hardware synth. KORG went deep with this synth, and the possibilities within are truly mind-boggling. You'll not only learn about the common components, such as the oscillators, filters, envelopes, etc., but Alberto will investigate two other unique aspects of this synth - Kaoss Physics and Motion Seq 2.0 - at length, providing you with a nearly inexhaustible supply of modulation and motion capabilities and sound design magic. These videos are designed for new Modwave Mk II users.
Alberto begins by welcoming you and providing a quick overview of what the Modwave Mk II can do. This is followed by an examination of the block diagram, so you'll have a good idea of how signal flows through the instrument, and a quick flyover of the main components and sections of the synth, giving you the general lay of the land before we get into specifics. You'll then see how to quickly browse through the many excellent presets to audition the sounds and/or find a jumping-off point for creating your own patch.
Next, you'll explore the concept of Set Lists, which are customizable banks of sounds that can be recalled at any point. Usable in both a live situation (to simply step through your sounds in order of your set) and the studio, this feature allows for brilliant organizational ideas. Then Alberto covers the oscillators, explaining all they can do by using the modes, morphing, and blending features. You'll then hear some of the incredible sonic possibilities in a wavetable synth, as Alberto demonstrates how the wavetables work and what they have to offer.
There's much more to come as well, such as the filters (Polysix and MS-20 filters, among others), envelopes (ADSR plus various curves and others), LFOs (five in total), Arpeggiator (dual, layer-based), Amp/Pitch section, Kaoss Physics (incredible expressiveness), effects (reverb, delay, mod-FX, etc.), Motion Seq 2.0 (used as a step-sequencer, modulator, arpeggiator, all of the above, or something else entirely), mod processors (additional modulation parameters), randomization (useful for spicing up a section, generating ideas, etc.), and much more!
The Modwave Mk II is certainly playable out of the box if you have some basic synth knowledge, but to get into anything past the basics, you need this course! There's no easier way to fully master this instrument and take full advantage of all the potential held within. By the end of the course, you'll be comfortable enough with the Modwave to start using it in earnest on your very next track, and you'll be designing your own sounds from scratch soon after that. See the individual Modwave Mk II video tutorial descriptions for more information on everything this synth can do and how you can make use of it in your own productions.
