Not my first idea of a "party synth" but the Wavestate certainly grabbed the attention!
But the Wavestate is MUCH more advanced than that, you can make sequences of waveforms, and to top that off you can add a separate lane of specs to each sound and sample you want, you can add timing (when to stop and start a sample) you can x-fade it (Transitions between samples), and you can even ADSR that to your liking, up to 64 steps per lane. You can even add a pitch lane to each of the 4 layers of Wave sequencing just to further complicate things. This means you can literally emulate Cross-modulations (such as you do on modwave with the two Oscillators it has, but workflow is different), or you can add midi delays (fake ones) so lets say you hear a band from the 80's, sometimes the bands made good sounds by using the limitations of those synths and the midi lag, so lets say you want a double hit piano effect, you can use the timing lane to time that "keyhit" just perfectly (you can't do that with ADSR alone), but time it perfectly so it creates a one-off pre-echo if you like, or any combination of those you want, lets say a row of 64 of those, and on EACH of the 4 layers, which gives you the possibility of re-creating just about any sound or scenario you can possibly think of. You can even sequence a hit/song sequence by animating pitch on one or more of the lanes and specify those to only activate on a certain keystroke OR split section of the keyboard, you can even animate the action of that - and even insert random (percentage based) hit-occurances of each of the 64 sequenced tones you just made, or timings, or samples...etc.
