I just discovered that the programs and combinations of the M1 were in the Nautilus.



Why Korg does not put the programs and combinations of the excellent 01 / wfd?

If the programs and combinations of the M1 are currently there, it is possible to do it with the 01 / wfd as well.

It would be a gift from Korg.

It would certainly add additional value to the Nautilus.

Legendary machines integrated into a current machine.

Korg sold somewhere between 250,000 to 300,000 M1s between 1989-1995. It was wildly popular and nostalgia for it still runs high. The T1, T2, T3, and 01/W were all technically superior to the M1, but combined didn't sell nearly as many units. The number of people demanding Korg revisit the 01/W is comparatively tiny.

I think one day they'll get around to it, for sure.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and even Deezer, whatever the hell Deezer is.

Thank you for your reply.

I don't demand anything

Just that even if not as successful as the M1, the 01 / wfd still marked the mark of excellence in the days of Korg.

The money always the money, the desire of the users is no longer really taken into account, unfortunately.

Just like with the famous Z1, a flagship too.

But which has not been a great commercial success.

Korg at that time was ahead of some products.

Like the excellent Karma and derived on a synth of the same no.

I think everyone would love to have 01/W sounds and we are being downplayed.

I maybe cynical but believe Korg may be keeping them from the software world because they are still part of the most recent hardware libraries and don't want to cannibalize sales.

Thank you for your reply.

Indeed, not enough demand for 01/wfd programs and performances.

Regarding a vst version, not ready to arrive, just like the integration like the M1 in the Nautilus not really topical.

Unfortunately, whether it's the Korg 01/wfd or the 01R/w (module version), it's not easy to find one in excellent condition given the number of years.

Really a pity that there is nothing planned for 01 / wfd.
