The versatility of the Wavestate MK2 is significantly amplified by its extensive array of filter types and modulations. Among its filter arsenal, you'll find classics like the 2-pole resonant low-pass, high-pass, and band-pass filters, as well as a 4-pole resonant low-pass option, providing you with an extensive range of tonal possibilities. Furthermore, the presence of a Multi Filter lets you create hybrid setups with both series and parallel configurations, making it an incredible tool for sound design.
In terms of modulation, the Wavestate MK2 stands out with its eight white mod (macro) knobs that permit you to dramatically alter sounds on the fly. Whether you’re wanting to add a subtle vibrato or a wild, swirling phaser, the vast modulation options have you covered. Moreover, Wave Sequencing 2.0 allows for intricate parameter modulation sequences, rhythmically changing samples and control values in real time. This opens the doors to constantly shifting, evolving soundscapes.
