modwave Update 1.1
Following last month’s big update for wavestate, Korg just released the modwave 1.1 update, as well as the new modwave Editor/Librarian app. This update also supports the Sample Builder app (released last month with wavestate 2.0), so you can load your own samples into modwave.
Exciting to see this roll out worldwide, after such an intense development effort!
New Korg Apps and Wavestate 2.0
Long time no see! I’ve spent most of this year in an intense coding sprint at Korg R&D, developing the new Editor/Librarian and Sample Builder apps for the Korg wavestate and modwave, along with the 2.0 update for Wavestate and forthcoming 1.1 update for modwave to support all the new features.

Korg Modwave Launch
Since the launch of the wavestate one year ago, I’ve been working furiously on the next synth in the family- the modwave. Like the wavestate, we designed and built this synth from the ground up, right here at Korg R&D in California, with help from our colleagues at Korg Japan. I’m excited to see our work publicly unveiled, and can’t wait to hear what the musicians of the world will create with it!

It’s been a long, strange year! I’ve hardly posted at all to my blog. My band is on pandemic hiatus- no gigs since January. I’ve been insanely busy at work. It’s becoming apparent that I only have the bandwidth (or is it the willpower?) to produce one video per year, which I typically finally finish during my vacation at the end of December. So here is my video for 2020- something that I’ve been planning for over 10 years – a controlled comparison of magnet pickup types.
MoreAn Inspiring Guitar Build
I just came across this inspiring video by a Belgian amateur woodworker and guitar player named Tchiks, in which he details his custom semi-hollowbody build. The video is well-paced and clearly edited, and if you’re at all like me, there’s lots of ooh and ahhh moments, and it’s hard to stop until the end.
