pianoFull-size aftertouch keybedKey factorexpand_more0 mentions
The SE adds a 61-key (or larger) keybed with aftertouch and extra octaves, which multiple owners say meaningfully improves expression and live performance compared to the original Wavestate. Several describe it as the one feature that was missing and now makes the instrument feel complete.
Strongly positive
graphic_eqDistinctive vector wave-sequencing sound engineKey factorexpand_more0 mentions
Commenters repeatedly praise the unique, sample-based vector synthesis and wave-sequencing that set the Wavestate apart from other synths on the market. Even critics of the price admit the sound quality itself remains excellent and inspiring.
Strongly positive
workIncluded fitted hard caseexpand_more0 mentions
Several buyers point out the SE ships with a deluxe fitted hard case, which they see as a valuable inclusion given rough shipping conditions and the cost of buying a case separately. This is cited as one of the tangible extras justifying part of the price increase.
Widely praised
speedHigher polyphony reduces note-stealingexpand_more0 mentions
One detailed comment notes that the increased polyphony is a worthwhile addition because complex sounds eat voices quickly and can cause note-stealing when playing across a large keybed, making the upgrade practically useful for pro players.
