The Korg 01/W is a 61-key digital synthesizer music workstation released in 1991. It's a followup to the Korg M1 and Korg T-Series synthesizers, introducing the expanded AI² synthesis system and the Waveshaping feature on top to generate its tones. It features 32 voice polyphony, a significantly larger display, and a 16-track sequencer.[1]
The Korg 01/W was released with a floppy disk drive variant known as the Korg 01/Wfd. The main utility of the floppy disk drive was for acting as a secondary memory unit was for being able to store Program, Combination, Drum Kit, Global setup, and sequencer data onto a floppy disk. It also increased the overall sequencer memory from the stock 7,000 notes to up to 48,000.[1]
