The Korg 01/W was a workstation synthesizer, released in 1991, and was intended to replace the M1 and T series. The workstation/ROMpler was based on AI², an improved version of the AI (Advanced Integrated) Synthesis technology found in the M1. The success of the AI² architecture ensured it was used in the majority of subsequent Korg synths of the 1990s.
01/W: The basic 61 key model
01/WFD: Same as above, but with an internal floppy disk drive
01/Wpro: Same as above, but with an extra octave of keys (for a total of 76 keys) and an extra sampled Acoustic Piano sound.
01/WproX: This model had 88 weighted keys (to simulate the feel of a real acoustic piano) and also has the extra Acoustic Piano found in the 01/Wpro
01R/W: A 2U high rackmount version of the 01/WFD, with the sequencer maintained from the keyboard versions but without a floppy disk drive.
03R/W: A stripped down version of the 01R/W Rack, 1U in height, with a smaller screen, only about 90% of the samples found in its bigger brother, and no waveshaping. It was General MIDI compatible and the sequencer was removed.
...run external sources through the wave sequencer, vocoder and effects, gotta be fun! Just wanted to update, I just ordered an 01WFD, first Korg Rompler I've ever owned (though have used an employer's M50 extensively before) Very excited to see what crazy stuff I can get out of it. Sealed suggests that it can do sounds...

Don´t judge me too hard when I confess that all this is just...
So what backlight upgrade do you mean? It is either the backlight (may you mean replacement?) or it is the LED version. If you have a blue display like this then it is already an LCD with LED backlight. And if someone did not do the MOD right, then he forgot to remove the high...
