\"\"<\/a>I’ve had my Korg Waved<\/a>rum<\/a> for over a year now and it’s still got a lot of surprises under the hood. One thing I’ve been trying to find is a sound that would evoke the Hang<\/a>, that hard to find, super expensive and no longer made percussion sensation.

The Wavedrum has no USB port, so there’s no way to download patches, store them on a computer or share the ones you make.
