At this year’s Winter NAMM Korg showed off its WAVEDRUM Oriental, a cracking limited edition drum pad eaturing a wide range of Arabic percussion sounds.
Now it has revealed the WAVEDRUM Mini, featuring the classic WAVEDRUM technology but in a smaller, more portable form.
Not only does it has a built-in speaker and run off batteries but it features a sensor clip allowing any object to be transformed in an instrument.
Effectively this means you can use a second surface to trigger a second sound on the Wavedrum. Attach the sensor clip to another object or surface and it instantly becomes another trigger point. That’s very cool.
Feature Highlights
- Portable percussion synthesizer built on Korg’s renowned Wavedrum technology
- Play two sounds at once for a rich musical experience:
- Play one sound from the dynamic pad
- Play a second sound from any surface or object using the sensor clip
- 100 Ready-to-play sounds ranging from acoustic tones to synthetic sounds
- 100 Rhythm patterns serve as a rhythmic guide or provide jam-along-fun
- 10 Preset audio effects; select any effect and enhance any sound
- On-board Looper allows unlimited overdub layering for complex, multi-sound patterns
- Share your sounds using the built-in speaker, or practice using headphones
- Battery operation lets you play with confidence on the street, outdoors or anywhere
- AC Adapter and mounting strap are included
