Korg Wavestation EX Synthesizer

A Korg classic. Along the same lines as a Roland D-50. It can be cheezy or you can program your own sounds and it can become quite expressive. I'm a big fan of this synth outside of the crappy little display.

SAMPLE: The main semi-distorted sound in The Breathing Pool is the Wavestation. A similer sound was used in De-Complier (listen for it in the first minute of the song).
