Back to the Knobs | Korg Wavestate for Atmospheric Drum and Bass

In this episode of Five Dot Loft, I return to hardware for the first time in decades — and it’s been a game-changer. The Korg Wavestate is my first synth with real knobs since the ’90s, and I’m using it to create rich textures for Atmospheric Drum and Bass. I start by comparing it with Ableton’s Wavetable synth, then dive into a sound design experiment on the Wavestate. The real story here is about touch — how physical interaction changes the way you hear and build sound. Whether you’re an in-the-box producer or hardware-curious, I hope this gives you new ideas for your own music. 🔔 Subscribe if you enjoy creative exploration — where the process is the story. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – INTRO - Why I’m Back to Hardware 00:49 – Ableton Wavetable Explanation 02:53 – Korg Wavestate Explanation 05:05 – Wavestate Sound Design 09:54 – Conclusion 🏷️ Hashtags #KorgWavestate #AtmosphericDnB #DrumAndBass #SoundDesign #HardwareSynth #AbletonWavetable #FiveDotLoft #LoFiDnB #SynthExploration #BackToTheKnobs
