Introduction
2
You can seamlessly exchange sounds between hardware and software. Produce in your DAW with wavestate native,
and then play the same sounds onstage using the wavestate hardware. Create sounds with the hardware’s hands-on
interface, and then share them with a computer-based collaborator.
Structure
wavestate native plays one Performance at a time.
A Performance has four Layers, A…D, a Vector Envelope, and a master reverb and EQ.
Each Layer contains an Arpeggiator, a Program, and other settings such as MIDI channel, key and velocity zones, etc.
A Program includes a Wave Sequence or a single Multisample, a Filter, an Amp, a per-voice Vector Envelope, a set of
modulators, a modulation matrix, and three effects: Pre FX, Mod FX, and Delay.

User Interface Elements
Knobs and sliders
To edit knob values, drag vertically, or use the mouse wheel or drag on the trackpad.
To edit slider values, drag in the direction of the slider. Most sliders also support the mouse wheel or dragging on the
trackpad; parameters that appear in scrolling lists (such the Wave Sequence editor) are an exception.
Double-click knobs and sliders to center them.
Graphic editing
Envelopes, LFOs, Key Track generators, Key & Velocity Zones, Filters, and the Master EQ can be edited directly in their
respective graphics. To do so:
1. Hover the cursor over the graphic to show a colored handle.
In most cases, this is either a dot or a line. For LFOs, the entire waveform serves as a “handle.”
2. Drag the handle to edit the value.
To edit Envelope Curve settings, use the yellow handles in the middle of the A/D/R segments.
To edit the Fade ranges of Key & Velocity Zones, use Option-drag (macOS) or Alt-drag (Windows).
