Part of what made the Wavestation so unique was its wave sequencing, in which several samples could be crossfaded together to create evolving timbres.

Korg is ready to give it a go again with a spiritual successor called the Wavestate. There have been a few other vector synths (including the Korg OASYS) in the years since, but none have resonated with musicians quite like the Wavestation. But, it was also a very short lived family of instruments, being introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 1994. It was particularly well regarded for its pad sounds.

Its unique sound was all over the place in the early 90s, from Genesis, to Depeche Mode to the X-Files. One of the most iconic vector synthesizers is the Korg Wavestation. There are countless different styles of synthesis, but one of the more rare and distinctive is vector synthesis, in which different sound sources are dynamically blended to give a sense of movement.
