Buggy

Crashes consistently when trying to use the Pan page in any auv3 host. Deletes your work when it crashes. The bug has lasted for months. Pan page works fine in standalone.

Otherwise the synth is outstanding; there’s nothing like it on PC, much less iOS. Touchscreen makes for a pretty great wave sequencing interface.

Wave sequencer is the best part but

Every preset is the same. But it’s supposed to be all the old ones that came with it but I wish newer wave tables also came with it.

waveseq の再生位置のが光らなくなった v1.2以降

さまざまwave が、切り替わりながら変化していくのが見ていて楽しいシンセですが、ver 1.2.0 以降で、wsaveseq で再生中の位置がハイライトされない不具合があるようです。Gadget 3 でアンロックされるMilpitas では、ハイライトされるので、AUv3 対応になった iWavestaion 側の不具合だと思われます。改善を期待しています。

Thank you for AUV3 support! This thing sounds great!

I always wanted a Korg Wavestation back in the day. I’ve been waiting for this to go to AUV3 and now that it has I’ve bought it. It sounds amazing! And I’ve just been playing with it a little while now. Korg developers Please make the rest of your iOS synths AUV3 compatible. I have the ARP and will buy the rest of them (Polysix, Mono/Poly,etc ) if you make them AUV3. My first synth was a Poly 800 bought in 1984. Longtime Korg fan. Any thoughts of doing an iOS version of that? Great work here.

Hello. Thank you for the review and thank you for staying with us since the 80s. We hope the iWavestation can bring you lots of inspiration and new music, always. Best regards, KORG App Team

Great But No Filter Envelope?

The new interface is much more accessible for a synth that’s fundamental incredibly deep and it sounds incredible. Just don’t understand why the Filter Envelope was completely removed especially now that the filter has resonance. I guess using the Amp Envelope on the filter is doable and a Filter Env isn’t going to be added. Otherwise the app is killer and a total classic!

Jetzt endlich auch AUv3

Macht einfach Spaß! Viel einfacher zu bedienen wie die alte Hardware. Eine große Spielwiese mit unendlichen Möglichkeiten für ungewöhnliche Sounds und auch alte „Klassiker“ sind als Presets dabei.

Jetzt auch als AUv3 und das ohne Zuzahlung!
Danke Korg!

Hello. We have just released an update for the iWavestation to support Audio Units (AUv3), and we thought you would like to know. Please experiment and let us know if you liked. Best regards, KORG App Team

iWavestation now AUv3, A Dream Come True👌

I love the new layout in the 1.2.2 update, the larger keyboard makes it easier to review the presets. The iwavestation is definitely a “must have” AUv3 plugin 👌

Dear Developers, you asked me to let you know if I like the AUv3 update, are you kidding….. I absolutely love it more now that I can use more than one instance at a time, this is my best Christmas present ever 👌Thank You 🍻

The iWAVESTATION is a super powerful synth
I have spent £hundreds on synth apps over the years, always looking for the ultimate sounding preset, but I always end up coming back to iWAVESTATION because it already has loads of ultimate presets, but now it’s AUv3…..pure bliss.
Thank you Korg 🍻

Hello. We have just released KORG iWavestation 1.2.2, which fixes the layout problems that happened in some device models. Could you please update the app and let us know if everything is OK now? Thank you very much in advance. Best regards, KORG App Team

Korg and AUv3, the big boy is back.

Talk about a low-key launch. Around 17th Dec 2025 it seems. ! Does not disappoint. There’s waves in there galore, seems like every single soundpatch has extraordinary variations. Brief use standalone and in my baby GarageBand on iPad Pro M1. The effort that Korg have put into this, it shows in the quality of the sounds and the reliability of the app. Just buy the extra patches. (They’ve stuck an ironic ‘Easter Egg’ in there, in that the front pic comes up standalone, is upside down, but that’s not something you hear. That’s the only negative I could possibly extract). Absolutely stonking instrument. I cannot see anyone not wanting and able to make use of this, and truly there will be ‘before’ and ‘after’ Audio Unit arrival. Simply because, many of the lower star-ratings, are from and about, a lack of AUv3 that no longer is an issue!

Hello.Thank you for the review. We are glad to know that you liked our update. If you wish to receive news like that, we recommend you to sign up for our e-mail newsletters or follow our SNS. With that our releases can be "less low key", perhaps :-) Please enjoy the iWavestation. Best regards, KORG App Team

AUv3 is here!

A lot of waves with grit, presence and character from another era. And when u combine/sequence the waves magic soundscapes appear. A classic good for both pop or experimental. Tears for Fears didn’t use a wavestation for their 80s records, but the wavestation can sure deliver similar sounds (cos lots of the waves were recorded using late 80s gear & production techniques)

AUV3対応は最高！…しかし…

実機を使用していたのでそもそもこのアプリがiPhone、iPadで出たこと自体が最高！

そして今回のアップデートにてついにAUV3に対応！

しかし…iPadやAUプラグインとして使う分にはよいとして、スタンドアローンで使う上でのiPhone(17Pro)のレイアウトは…なんでしょ、これは？

画面の真ん中に小さく表示され、ジョイスティック選ぶと戻るボタンが見当たらないしあちこち表示が重複してるし…

今後のアップデートにて改善される期待を込めて。。

Classic synth, classic sounds

This has always been a favorite of mine. I like how distinct the sounds of the Wavestation are, including some of the rhythmic qualities.

Korg uphold a good standard with their apps, particularly the emulations.

Now that it is an AUV3 it is ‘perfect’ for my needs. As a bonus, it seems that they’ve boosted some of the tempo sync behavior so that it grooves nicely with a project (as long as the project is in the time signature of the given groove 😏😉)

Also like that it has the standard modulation support of the original, modwheel usually does vibrato but has a few hidden surprises. Has aftertouch support.

One of my favorite cartridges is the KLC (Korg legacy collection). Has sounds that are more contemporary or show off some twists in the capabilities of the Wavestation. That is part of the in app purchase for more sounds.

Problème d’affichage depuis la dernière mise à jour iOS 26.2 sur iPhone 14 Pro

Excellente application dommage que vous ne proposez plus de nouvelles Banks de son.
Par ailleurs
Merci à vous de corriger le problème d’affichage qui s’est réduit entraînant le chevauchement de certaines commandes depuis la dernière mise à jour sous iOS 26.2
Bonne continuation 😩
