Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A compact 37-key wavetable synthesizer with 60 stereo voices, deep modulation, Motion Sequencing 2.0, and hands-on Kaoss Physics control.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Musicians exploring wavetable synthesis
- Sound designers seeking extensive customization
- Players who want gestural sound manipulation with Kaoss Physics
- Users creating layered sounds with 60 stereo voices of polyphony
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who require more than 37 keys
- Users who need onboard aftertouch; aftertouch and poly aftertouch are available only through external MIDI
- Users who need half-damper support
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Kaoss Physics
A built-in touchscreen X/Y pad generates eight modulation signals from a controllable ball-motion model.
Detail 03
Motion Sequencing 2.0
Timing, pitch, shape, and step-value lanes have independent loop points and can use randomized behavior.
Detail 04
Modulation destinations
Most parameters, including individual Motion Sequence step parameters, can be modulated; a Program can have more than 1,000 potential targets depending on Motion Sequence length.
