Creating sounds with time-varying timbre, on your mobile device.
KORG iWAVESTATION - A wave sequence synthesizer for iOS.
The WAVESTATION synthesizer went on sale in 1990. This instrument featured an advanced vector synthesis system which created new sounds by combining and connecting multiple waveforms; it provided a mix/morphing function that let you use a joystick to change the balance of four oscillators, and a distinctive wave sequence function that allowed you to place waveforms in a desired sequence to create sequence patterns. To this day, it continues to be considered a legendary and still-unique instrument.
Now in 2016, the WAVESTATION has been reborn as "KORG iWAVESTATION," an app for iPad/iPhone. In addition to completely reproducing the programs, it also features a renewed design that lets everyone experience the stupendous sound-shaping potential of the WAVESTATION. It features touch-based operation that's distinctive of iOS, in conjunction with a new graphic interface that allows you to visualize and edit the time-varying timbral changes that are distinctive of the WAVESTATION.
[ Features ]
- A faithful reproduction of the original WAVESTATION sound: In addition to providing the sounds from all PCM memories of the WAVESTATION, the new iWAVESTATION also reproduces in software every detail of the parameters, based on an analysis of the original hardware circuit diagram.
- A new wave sequence view that can be graphically controlled: The iWAVESTATION, we advance another step with a graphical user interface that takes advantage of the touch operations that are a characteristic of iOS. Even more than ever, we've updated the screen design with an emphasis on creating sequences.
- 1,500 sounds, more than 700 waveforms, 55 effects, and a powerful random sequence engine: This new instrument includes a stupendous number of presets and waveforms, covering all models of the series. iWAVESTATION also provides a new random sequence function which will give you different perspectives to inspire new sounds.
- Produce music together with KORG Gadget integration: iWAVESTATION can be used in conjunction with the "KORG Gadget" music production DAW app that has won numerous awards around the world. If both apps are installed, it can be used as the "Milpitas" gadget inside the KORG Gadget app.

We need Auv3 bad!!!
First of all this app is wonderful!!! But this is 2024.
Inter app audio plugins is in the past and crashes constantly. Please do us all a favor with all your apps and make them Auv3 compatible . It’s ashamed to have apps this good and people are not able to create with these wonderful sounds because you missed the mark because it was overlooked or a mistake . Music is evolving and we need great apps like this to evolve with us. Just because the Wavestation was made in the 90s does not mean this app has to stay in the past with it😂…. Just kidding( but I’m not really )
Please fix this, it’s too good to mess this up!
Great app needs au3 support
So I’m very glad that Korg has kept up so many apps for so long, but I feel they are kind of behind with the importatnt stuff. By that I am am mainly talking about au3 support. Inter app audio is just not good enough, it crashes, states do not save, poor cpu handling…. Really at this point inter app audio is an afterthought, I never use inter app audio at this point. I bought this app in 2024 even though I know there is no au3 support, but I’m hoping that korg sees that there are users that are willing to buy more with au3 in mind. I have most of the korg apps but there are 2 more I have not purchased for the same reason. It’s a real shame, this app is great, no other significant complaints. I would use this a lot if it supported au3. I’ll be crossing my fingers.
Please add AUV3 support
I do really adore this app but in 2024 not having AUV3 support leaves it in a bit of a purgatory for apps like Logic Pro. With the recent Korg Gadget updates bringing the gadgets to AUV3, I’m hoping this is a sign Korg will make their older synth apps that also have gadgets into AUV3 apps as well.
Please and thank you!
KORG Please Add AUV3 Support!!! 🙏🏻
The original Wavestation is my favorite synth of all time. Unfortunately, the lack of AUV3 support ruins this version on iOS. I will gladly change my rating to 5 stars and recommend it to others if KORG adds AUV3 support in the future! It would easily increase the sales of this app because more people would be able to use it.
Needs an update…
This app has the potential to be very very good but it’s very outdated, what I mean by this is that it’s not full screen and other things take the screen more than the keys, korg module has this better look and feel but lacks the classic sounds. Also it doesn’t connect with GarageBand to record songs and use GarageBands key layout.
NO AUv3 SUPPORT
Come on Korg this is ridiculous!!!! It’s been how many years now? I deleted Gadget because this. Gadget was born on iOS yet you give the flexibility to desktop only. I never bought the desktop version because of your shady business dealings on iOS. I spent over $200 on your iOS products. To access gadgets on desktop, to put in your personal daw, is $200. Over it.
KORG Please Add AUV3 Support!!! 🙏🏻

Crashes when saving user presets
Great app but wow…what a bummer it is to have the app crash when saving after you’ve spent so much time crafting a preset….what an inspiration killer Korg…please fix this asap
At this point in time it is ridiculous for these “pro musician” apps to not include an AUv3
When will Korg finally do something useful with their apps? I mean - how can you honestly claim to be a profesional music hardware/software company and STILL have 90% of your roster functioning under a deprecated audio protocol?
If these apps were 4 dollars I’d be ok with that - but they are not.
Fix your apps it’s 2023.
Nice but Cmon Korg..
What's the deal with all these great apps and none of them except Module Pro and the Electribe can have AUv3 ? It's like they only giving us á fully functional demo that can't be used unless you're only using Gadget or going live.. this app is still continuing to collect digital dust. Shame.
