- A short take on the Korg 01R/W early 90's romplar that came out after M1 and T-series. It has one feature not seen in any of the other Korg workstations untill rescent years, Waveshaping.
If this had not been implemented, I think this synth would be pretty boring. But with it , it really becomes alive. - Hudba
Thank You for Waveshaping demo
A "hidden" feature.
FANTASTIC! I've owned an 01/W FD since the mid 90s, my first real synth. Only recently have i come to appreciate synthesis beyond 'bread & butter' samples, sadly just in time for mine to die. Ugh. Two decades ago I'd managed to produce some incredible Rhodes, wurlitzer, Hammond/Leslies, bass, guitar, & sound effects I've not heard anywhere else. I can't wait to share some day. I'll just have to buy another unit now. Ugh.
Instant nostalgia. The first default patch was used on Babylon Zoo's Spaceman.
These sounds are timeless. When I turn on mine, the pleasure is every time like the first time I discovered them.
The most powerful Workstation from Korg imho! I'm a big fan of 80s & 90s Korg Workstations! They ooze character and personality in both design and sound!
Not even remotely close to most powerful, (and it was the 01 which made me a Korg fan)... Every generation since has built on the original M1 PCM engine, with the 01 being only the 3rd generation of a line that now stretches to... eight generations in total I believe...
@@looneyburgmusic Got any recommendations for any newer-ish Korgs with a similar character when it comes to Pads as this one? Big fan of sounds like Dreamwave and animotion etc. I like the sparkly moving high end.
@@ivansoto9723 Wavestate most likely...
M1 and 01 are still some of my favorite Korg synths to date.
Still have a T3 in my collection...
@@No_Nag Those Waveshaping options on the 01 really have a special place for me as well.
Was my first 'workstation' synth in high school.
Really informative video, thanks! Demonstrates the unique qualities of this synth. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks you for your good demo that show how the 01/w series was great
You show perfectly how cool was the waveshaper
Well, thank you!
I looked around for videos, but I didn't think any of them really shows what it can do. And it is one of it's biggest features.
you made a rompler sound like an FM synth, amazing ^O^ i love this box
It got more depht than People know just because they just use it as a band in a box.
It is a good synth.
Thank you for your kind words!
@@No_Nag tbf though? its a HELLA AMAZING band in a box :3
Pretty cool demo. Love it.
Well, thank you so much!
I have the 01w/FD .. love love ...thank you Very much for thz démo 😉
just got mine. The waveshaping is so fun to manipulate. love these sounds!!!!
Awesome 🤗
The Korg 01W/01RW is like a cross between an M1 and a Wavestation.
Has unique waves compared to them though, the samples are higher quality.....the SR does share SOME of the same pcm cards though.
Love that choir pad around 1:42! I have the Wavestate and it does have all the Wavestation waves/drum kits and more. It can sound really phat/wide and other patches/samples can sound very flat and almost one dimensional. I also have the Wavestation VST and it still sounds different than the Wavestate, I mean on the same waves/samples. Of course, hardware sounds different than software. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
I have the Wavestation EX. And these two share many of the rom wave files so you can make then sound the same.
Most characterful rompler I have heard. What a concept, true synthesizer part that allows for some programming of non-realistic sounds. Was it an answer to the SY series or an own attempt to break out from the full realism that the M1 offered?
Well Roland had ringmod on the D50 and Yamaha had AWM into AFM as you mentioned so I think Korg where a little late on ball with "Pcm shaping".
But it is a really nice feature which also where left out on later romplers...
03:32 Ether Bells was my one of favorite sample sound from arranger Korg i3(1993) . This sample in combination with choir sample was called Brightness (B 55 General MIDI patch from Korg i3 banks). I found last year this sample in Korg Wavestation (VSTi). But this time I hear for first time that sample is coming from Korg 01/Rack
Many of the rom wave files in the Wavestation and 01/W are the same. So you can get them to sound the same.
@@No_Nag Thanks. And I forgot to say - very nice video. I hope for more new videos.
@@Demontage_Montage Thank you! I'm still learning the process of video. So your encouragment is welcome. There will be more, I promise!
@@No_Nag Good luck 🍀👍
It has punching sound like M1. Trinity started to do soft sounds and trend continues witch each next model.
Def something more. I've got the monster Pro-x and it is something of a mystery to me. 'Appreciate your support and insight.
Thank you. Yes, it is def. powerful in its way.
The Sound of Entity ;)
Cheers... the next one on my List (01/W).... gotten flashed by the waveshaping... Everyone wants the mainstream forced Rolands... I like the underrated ones
I need to dust off 01/RW and get the backlight fixed
Do it!!!! There's no excuses :D
Fixing the 01R's backlight is a breeze compared to changing out the key version, I just went with the pretty blue lcd...very bright, very pretty.
@@youvsyou945 do you have a link for the display please?

Mine had Gary Barlow as it's last owner! Even so now I've been forced to downsize to a flat & am trying to decide whether it's a priority synth enough to justify keeping it in the flat along side other definite priorities like my D550, Triton rack, M1R, JV2080, Morpheus, TX816, FS1R & many more, or keep it in storage nearby???
Easy answer. You don't sell synths = storage 🤗
Among the ones above.. It would be down to this, the M1r ot the triton.
Probably the M1 as this contains most of it and the triton doesn't do this.. 🤔
I am just about to buy a Kawai K4 and a Korg 01/FWD - for drone ambient/evolving pads, which will run thru fx pedals. Should I look maybe elsewhere in the synth world? :)
Why? 🙂 Affordable and great textures of sound 😉
Perfect choice IMHO. 👍
The sequence you play around 05:20... tantalisingly familiar, like an intro to some computer game?
OK!? I'm just fiddeling along so nothing intentional :)
Sounds like something Sierra would put out, maybe in police or space quest
Isn't that the Intro Sound of Babylon Zoos - Spaceman in the beginning?
I wouldn't know? You tell me 🙂
Just playing what comes out... 🤔 🤣
It is.
Hi, Can i transfer midi sysex in 01R/w? Thank for you video! Is amazing
Yes, it works with sysex.
Thank you 🤗
is there too much overlap in the wavestation a/d and 01r/w to make both worth owning?
Enginewise they are different. The 01/w has that crossmod thing going otherwise they are similar in sound. If you don't need the trix of the wavestaion just have 01/w. I don't see a big need other wise to own both. So overlap in sound but not in features. So depends on your use.
Completely different multisamples and synth engine....I don't feel there's much overlap, the 01 is pretty unique. The SR does share the same pcm cards(some) as the 01/W series.
Waveshaping was more or less forgotten because just like Yamaha's RCM feature on the SY77/99 it's really not that useful. Or, at least, not useful enough to be worth the bother of programming patches which use Waveshaping...
Really not that useful to you maybe 🤷🏽♂️
A little bit similar with DX7?
Hi. In my opinion they are extremely different machines. The Korg Is a complete workstation, has effects on board, has samples on Rom, has the waveshaping option and can merge different sounds. It Is the successor of M1, and we say that the Holy Trinity of the '80s Is M1, DX7 and Roland D50. Just to Imagine how different are these classy synths and how complete each other.
DX7 Is very good. Maybe only two sounds may be layered. And You need an external effect. But It Is a good original machine!
EDIT: I now am listening to the waveshaping option.
Yes, It sounds very close to Dx7 FM synthesis in many examples!
So It could be and interesting option to purchase the Korg!
What's the difference between this and the 03R/W?
Hi! I did the googeling for you :) I dont know that much about the 03R. I thoughe these where quite informative and interessting. so now Iknow more to!! :)

@@No_Nag Thank you! I happen to have a KORG 03R/W so I was curious when this video got recommended
@@SeanSecret Put simply, the 03 is the stripped down entry-level version of the 01.
No waveshaping in the 03.
@@youvsyou945 No waveshaping in any of them except the O1...
All the rest, which are all based on the O1W engine lost waveshaping... Probably because it wasn't really that useful.
why are you using it like a synth? It’s not a synth, it’s a rompler.
It has unique features that not many other romplers do. So why should'nt I use that advantage in a synthlike way?.
@@No_Nag well ok…I don’t understand why you have to be different though. 🤨 there’s plenty of rack synths that do a better job at synthesis than this does. Juno, JX, Jupiter, D50 even a Korg MS-2000 but whatever floats your boat…but that’s not how we do things around here. 😤
@@jessihawkins9116 Think you might have missed the point of the video. It s about showing whats special about that rompler. Not how I use it. None of the synths you mention have wavefolding as a function and can make the sounds like this does. You may float your boat any way you like it, I use my synths the way I like it.
Why using this synth only as a simple rompler??
