WAVEDRUM Global Edition
Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer
Wavedrum Global Edition - Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer with a huge selection of world-class sounds
The new Wavedrum Global Edition embodies the next and largest step in the evolution of this unique instrument family. With their coveted international percussion sounds, the Global Edition offers the widest range of innovative sounds yet available, as well as a significant increase in sound quality and dramatic improvement in operation.
In 2009, KORG presented the Wavedrum WD-X, a reissue of the original Wavedrum from 1994. The newly discovered 09 WD-X caused a sensation as a creative performance tool and offered users of the original Wavedrum as well as future-oriented percussionists new, fascinating expressive possibilities. It was followed by models such as the Wavedrum Oriental with additional Arabic sounds, the Wavedrum Mini with a new sensor clip and Limited Edition models with special colors. And the limitless potential of this instrument ensures an ever faster spread of worldwide wavedrum mania.
