Typically with Korg a “Lane” is a destination for motion recordings in the sequencer.
i.e.
Lane 1, pitch/gate
Lane 2, Filter Cutoff
Lane 3, EG Decay
Land 4, LFO depth
equivalent to a lockable parameter on an Elektron, or a “Track” on a DSI/Sequential (Pro2/3)
and all for the price of $399,95, right? What’s your guess? 1000?
WHY CAN’T WE LOAD OUR OWN SAMPLES! (not wavetables)
I remember now. I did own a Minilogue for several years. 
Hmm 
only 1 filter per program though (maybe I’m wrong)?
I know there are lots of filter types but I would like more than 1 filter for a synth like this.
There’s a multi-filter mode option as well.
Ah okay, it’s more interesting now again. I’ll look into it some more, thanks!
They have said no desktops for op six and wavestate. Apparently they don’t sell.
I had a Wavestate for a bit. Traded it for a Sherman filterbank and haven’t looked back.
The UI was sub-par. Most of the time you need to alternate between the rotary encoder and the two +/- buttons, and reach above a bunch of beautiful knobs and switches you end up using like a fraction of the time. The screen is very low resolution. Copy/paste And adding steps to a wave sequence was in a third page sub menu.
As a reminder for those who want more Wavestate opinions, there is an existing Wavestate thread
I’ve seen other sites mention 799 Euros
Yeah, I don’t see how this would sell for any less than the Wavestate.
I need more videos of this. The Soundcloud tracks are not doing it justice, I am sure.
64 step sequencer confirmed from Korg person on the Slutz of Gear site:
need more videos , but ive been wanting a wavetable synth for a long time, this could be it
I was wondering the same. Seems quite a departure from the 8000. Probably just thought they needed to anchor it to something tangible. Those separate layers look nice. Pretty damn powerful on paper.
Definitely a Hydrasynth module competitor with both around $800. This has a deeper sequencer, the xy pad, gigabyte(s) of samples, 2 layers, AND a software editor. My Hydra is getting nervous, but we’ll have to see how it sounds and how the usability of it all is.
KORG | Free Listening on SoundCloud here’s the soundcloud with new tracks with it on it. sounds really good. I can imagine feeding it through an analog filter and some sutble bit crushing would be very tasty
Hydrasynth has polyaftertouch though, and the ribbon.
I wrote “module,” not keyboard version, so no ribbon, but yes the square pads do poly-AT.
