Korg Wavedrum Global
The Wavedrum Global Edition is the most powerful Wavedrum yet and boasts the largest selection of cutting edge sounds. The sensitivity of the instrument has been enhanced giving an even more natural response and increased dynamic feel.
In 2009, Korg unveiled WaveDrum WD-X, a revival of the original WaveDrum that debuted in 1994. The reimagined ‘09 WaveDrum had a stunning impact as a performance tool that brought new expressive power to musicians–from users of the original WaveDrum to forward-looking percussionists. Subsequent models included WaveDrum Oriental with its added Arabic sounds, WaveDrum Mini with its unique sensor clip, as well as limited edition color models, and the instrument's unbounded potential has continued to accelerate the spread of WaveDrum mania throughout the world.
Percussion instruments that generate rich, dynamic sounds from the bare hand of the player are perhaps the most physical of all musical instruments. While an electronic musical instrument, the WaveDrum Global Edition is painstakingly designed to retain this level of physicality. The sound of the player's strike is sensed by separate pickups for the head and the rim, and used directly as the sound source that drives the DSP-powered algorithm and PCM sound engine. In combination with this, the pressure sensor in the head allows the WaveDrum Global Edition to detect and respond to subtle movements of the player's fingers or palm which can be used to strike, rub, or scratch the head, as well as use techniques such as open shots, slap shots, heel and toe, and mute. Tonal differences produced by using a stick, mallet, or brush, plus changes resulting from different striking locations are also faithfully reproduced, giving the musician a high degree of expressive power and a broad dynamic range that rivals that of an acoustic drum or percussion instrument. This means that percussionists can bring a substantial arsenal of sounds - to rival a stage full of traditional percussion instruments - anywhere without the sacrificing the real feel or sonic quality that they require for their performance.
To further WaveDrum Global Edition’s ability to provide the utmost expressiveness and response, Korg has worked to increase the accuracy of the pickup. This boosts the dynamic range of the lows and highs, and improves the response to soft sounds, allowing more sensitive playing.
