Welcome to my free sound collection for the Korg Modwave. This collection of 42 sounds is inspired by the legendary 80s synthesiser, the Korg DW8000. The DW8000 used single cycle digital waveforms with an analogue filter, which gave it a unique sound for the era.

The Korg Modwave features the waveforms from the DW8000 and that is what I used for this collection of sounds. Some of the sounds are recreations of DW8000 sounds and some are modern sounds using the DW8000 waves as the basic sound source.

UPDATE: Volume 2 is now available, the Korg MS2000 for Korg Modwave collection.

There are pads, bells, leads and other sounds. Most of the sounds are set up with the mod controls or the KAOSS pad, there are also some that use the motion sequencer. I have avoided making the sounds too complicated so they can be used in your tracks rather than demo tracks. The sound collection is a free download from the music tech section.

The zip file contains a bundle that you can import via the Modwave library.
