Authorized KORG Dealer NEW~IN~BOX FULL FACTORY WARRANTY The affordable 2nd generation Korg WAVEDRUM is sonically richer, more sensitive, and packed with enough power and expression to create its own musical legend. The WAVEDRUM's wide dynamic range mimics that of an acoustic drum. WAVEDRUM responds perfectly to your action, from subtly nuanced tapping and stroking to aggressive, repetitive strikes The original Korg WAVEDRUM amazed the world back in 1994. This legendary musical instrument was instantly famous for its innovative design, performance possibilities, and unique sounds. Now the Korg WAVEDRUM's broad variety of sonic offerings ranges from traditional acoustic percussion instruments to new and unique percussive sounds. With WAVEDRUM, instruments that normally require special techniques to play, such as the tabla, or conga, can be played with ease. In addition, WAVEDRUM establishes its own way of playing, granting you unparalleled levels of expression, full of originality and depth. Compact and lightweight in design, Korg WAVEDRUM is ideal in all performance situationsâ��from casual playing through to a full-on recording session or a live concert performance. Totally unique sounds and innovative ways to play open the door to new musical journeys. The Korg WAVEDRUM delivers inspiration and satisfaction to creative percussionists seeking new realms of expressiveness and sounds. Moving beyond traditional drum and percussion sounds, WAVEDRUM also provides totally new and unique sounds that are not available in the real world, and offers new ways of playing to achieve new levels of musical expression. With a Korg WAVEDRUM, you can change the pitch randomly with each hit, or play melodic phrases by choosing a musical scale and applying pressure to the head. Traditional hand-drum techniques, such as adding pitch and tonal changes to a strike by pressing the head, were previously unobtainable on an electronic instrument Korg WAVEDRUM processes and responds to these intimate performance gestures as no other percussion instrument can. These same techniques provide a wealth of performance possibilities. For example, WAVEDRUM can produce sitar and tambura sounds at the same time. You can produce tanpura sounds alone by hitting the head, adding the sitar sounds by applying pressure to the head before hitting it. Applying further pressure can change the pitch of the sitar continuously within the selected scale. These and other performance characteristics are unique to the Korg WAVEDRUM. Multiple sensors and playing techniques deliver previously unimaginable expressiveness. Acoustic percussion instruments produces sound naturally, in direct response to a physical impact, be it gentle or abrupt. WAVEDRUM, although an electronic musical instrument, ads to this same physical concept. The head and rim pickups are directly used as a sound source to be processed by the DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms, and also trigger the PCM sound engine. Together with the pressure sensor under the head, the WAVEDRUM responds to all of the percussionist's subtle finger and hand motions (hitting, rubbing, scratching etc) as well as to the traditional hand drum techniques of open shot, slap shot, heel and toe, mute, etc. Of course, the WAVEDRUM also responds to other playing materials such as sticks, mallets, and brushes. The rim has two types of notches, small and large, and these can be used to get a tremolo type effect by scratching with sticks, etc. Combing the rim sounds with the head sounds can create an even richer, more original performance. Innovative technology combines DSP synthesis and PCM samples The WAVEDRUM contains 36 DSP algorithms to realize a variety of synthesis methods; analo... read more
