Korg Wavedrum Mini Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer

The Korg Wavedrum Mini synthesizer features a built-in speaker, battery-powered portability and a revolutionary sensor clip that transforms nearly any object into an instrument. Simply attaching the sensor clip (included) to any object or surface can transform it into a playable percussion instrument, providing a second sound to complement the Wavedrum Mini pad. The object to which you attach the clip will have a dramatic effect on how the sound is played, so you'll be making new sonic discoveries every time you use the sensor clip. The Wavedrum Mini synthesizer also comes with a convenient strap. Sit down, strap the Wavedrum Mini to your thigh and assign a snare sound to the pad. Next, assign a bass drum sound to the sensor clip and attach it to the upper part of your shoe and you've created a natural-playing drum kit that you can use anywhere.

Based on Wavedrum technology, the Wavedrum Mini offers 100 sounds, professionally programmed and ready to play. From acoustic-sounding drum and percussion sounds to cutting-edge sounds possible only on a synthesizer, the Wavedrum Mini offers a diverse range of sounds. Even instruments such as bass, tuned percussion and stringed instruments are included, allowing you to create both rhythmic and melodic performances. The tone of the Wavedrum Mini responds to the location at which you strike the pad and the amount of force applied, moving beyond a one-dimensional sound. The pad responds sensitively to every aspect of your strike, open shots, slap shots and more, allowing for a range of sophisticated performance techniques and complex musical expression.

The Wavedrum Mini features built-in effects that make it easy to transform the sound itself. Each of the 10 high-quality multi-effects combines a variety of effects: familiar spatial-type effects such as delay, chorus and reverb; modern effects including filters and pitch-shifters that radically transform the sound; distortion-type effects that deliver analog-style warmth, etc.

The Wavedrum Mini contains 100 rhythm patterns covering a range of styles. These patterns can be used as a guide to help the beginner keep a steady rhythm or simply enjoy jamming along. In fact, by using the pad, the sensor clip and playing a rhythm pattern, you can create a 3-part performance in real time.

The looper function lets you record and playback your Wavedrum Mini performance. Plus, you can add an unlimited number of overdubs, creating complex multi-sound patterns. When you play along to these complex patterns in real time, you could create fascinating performances without the need for any other equipment.

An AC adapter is included. The Wavedrum Mini synthesizer can also run on batteries, making it ideal for outdoor use or street performances. The built-in speaker is another attraction of the Wavedrum Mini, giving you the casual freedom to play on the spur of the moment and to share your sound alone or in an impromptu jam session.
