sometimes they come back – korg wavedrum!
15 years ago the first physical modeling products appeared on the market – not as plugins but as dsp driven hardware-
some people might remember the yamaha keyboards like the vl-1.
one of the most interesting products was the korg wavedrum – yes, a physical modeling drum.
it was pretty pricey, korg discontinued it before it really became popular – hence you have to shell out 2500euro for a used wavedrum these days.
now korg announced the wavedrum wd-x and it will be released end of the year:
the wavedrum is a very versatile instrument, you can play it using your hands, sticks, brushes, just like a real drum, using real playing techniques. it comes with 100 different sounds and the best of all is the new price: it seems to hit the streets with a <500euro price tag!
