01W

TheKorg01/Wseries are workstation synthesizers, the first of which debuted in 1991, and were intended to replace theM1and T series. The workstation/ROMplerwas based on AI² (Advanced Integrated Squared), an improved version of the AI (Advanced Integrated) Synthesis technology found in the M1 (although the advancements of the core synthesis engine were arguably quite minor, except for the subsequently removed Waveshaping, see below). The success of the AI² architecture ensured it was used in the majority of subsequent Korg synths of the 1990s.
