Korg Modwave Sequencer In Depth - Part 1: Introduction and Pitch Lane

The sequencer on the Korg Modwave is fantastic and full of creative possibilities; but it's also not an everyday "normal melodic sequencer" by any stretch of the imagination and is packed full of interesting and unexpected features, so it can be a little daunting when you first approach it.

In this series I'm hoping to explore the Modwave's sequencer in depth, explain how all of its features work and interact with one another and help folks unlock this unique sequencer's creative potential.

In this first video we'll talk about what the Modwave sequencer is and what it is not, introduce the common features across the 7 sequencer lanes and dive into the pitch sequence lane.

Transparency notice: the Modwave was kindly provided to me by Korg in order to make some videos on it. Korg are not paying me for these videos, nor do they have any say in the content.
