A few notable mainstream artists that used Wavestations in the early 1990s were Depeche Mode, Joe Zawinul, Jan Hammer, Phil Collins, Gary Numan and Tony Banks of Genesis (who also used them on the band\'s 2007 European Tour), Steve Hillier of Dubstar, Michael Jackson, and Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher of Dire Straits. Soundtrack composer Mark Snow also used a Wavestation SR when scoring episodes of the X-Files.[26]In 1991 the Wavestation EX, also called EXK-WS, was released. The EX added 150 more waveforms (4MB) including acousticinstruments and drums. The EX also adds 8 multi-effects including: ModPitch Shift-Delay, Stereo Compressor-Limiter/Gate, Vocoder, Overdriveand Distortion effects, transposable keyboard and added MIDIimplementation and control. Wavestations are used by Orbital, The Future Sound of London,Genesis, Jan Hammer, Depeche Mode, Toto, Vangelis, Legendary Pink Dots, Biosphereand Sin.

The Korg Wavestation is a vector synthesis synthesizer first produced in the early 1990s and later re-released as a software synthesizer in 2004. Its primary innovation was Wave Sequencing, a method of multi-timbral sound generation in which different PCM waveform data are played successively, resulting in continuously evolving sounds.[1] The Wavestation\'s \"Advanced Vector Synthesis\" sound architecture resembled early vector synths such as the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS.

Designed as a \"pure\" synthesizer rather than a music workstation, it lacked an on-board song sequencer, yet the Wavestation, unlike any synthesizer prior to its release, was capable of generating complex, lush timbres and rhythmic sequences that sounded like a complete soundtrack by pressing only one key.[2][3] Keyboard Magazine readers gave the Wavestation its \"Hardware Innovation of the Year\" award,[4][5] and in 1995 Keyboard listed it as one of the \"20 Instruments that Shook the World.\"[6]
