The features are easy to find so I will not dwell on it.

1/The keyboard is still the same, it's a Yamaha, that of SY77. It is excellent, robust, fast etc ...
2 / The screen is not backlit. I have not seen a single 01W on which the screen was still backlit. It is a well known disease and does not interfere with the operation of the synth.
3/Il is its weight.
4/Un big screen is nice.

UTILIZATION

It is quite easy to use, combined, of prog, a sequencer, a floppy drive etc ... everything is easy to understand.

SOUNDS

We are entering the most interesting part of this machine sounds. To cut over right away, the sounds are much better than the M1 and T series

Remember that the 01W was the best of Korg around 1992, so it's not a toy.

1/The layers are huge, I think ultimately they are perhaps even better than on my trinity. Ca plane high in the 01 series. It's bewitching good! simply.
2/The bass and sax are good, they were good before (M1, T), they are still here, but I prefer the trinity.
3/Les strings are really good.
4/THE orchestral sounds are average.
5/Les synthesized sounds are not terrible, but there is no resonant filter either.

The effect is interesting part of this machine and we do not have a lot of things. The disk part is convenient to recharge the conf notemment home when you can not stop Triffouille 01.

OVERALL OPINION

It's still a nice machine. It can be found at good prices, even cheaper than T3, it is much better off. I just sold mine for a pittance, 250 euros. Yet he can still make big services, we must not close our eyes, this is a real synth. If we do not find her happiness above, there are plenty of sounds on the internet, just search a bit. It is a true workstation with sequencer, sounds etc ... batteire
