    I think the first keyboard I had was the Wavestation. I got that around the time of But Seriously. That would have been the late '80s. After that would've been the 01/W. I was still in Genesis and Tony (Banks) and I both got the Wavestation the same day.

    Quick review of the Korg 01/WFD.

    This is one of those old school 90's Korg synths. Successor of the Wavestation. It's made of aluminum so it's very heavy. That's not good news for any gigging keyboardist's back but fortunately for me I just keep it in the studio for recording purposes. It has some lovely sounds. Many of them are quite dated but have lots of character. I use it mostly as a midi controller with software on my studio PC.

    Beautiful digital synth

    One of my favorite. Strings, guitars and basses are great. I used a lot like a strings emulation and his pianos still very beautiful. Lot of synth sparkling pads and effects. Very beautiful.

    Simplesmente magnífico!

    Foi meu segundo synth da Korg. Tinha timbres magníficos para a época, principalmente os órgãos e os synths. Era o number one no meu setup; robusto, tinha uma sonzeira no PA, rivalizando sem esforço com qualquer guitarra, soava de igual-para-igual.

    Vintage WARM sound!

    So nice to hear many sounds used by Vangelis, Enigma and others in early/mid 1990's. The sound is warmer because of the sampling rate which is 32 kHz (if memory serves) instead of 44.1 or 48.

    It's got it's place

    This synth shares a place in synth history along side the DX7, D50 and K2000! Where would Enigma be without it :)

    This was my first 'professional' keyboard. I bought it because I knew Michael Pinnella was using it.

    Even though nowadays I am using this keyboard only indoors as a midi controller, I am still surprised about some of the internal sounds. This is a great instrument. It's built sturdy, the keys have a nice feel to it and it's reliable. I am thinking of adding this one to my live gear someday as a backup keyboard.

    best hardware ever

    One of the most durable keyboards you can get. The sound is great, very real but don't look for creative sounds, look for traditional non filtered sounds. You can get creative, but use it as a center of you estudio, is great
