Hi,

I've had my 01w pro x for a lot of years now... not always inspired to play it, I love the feel of the keyboard except for... well read below.

I like ambient and unique sounding accompaniment for folk and rock, and the 01w presets, though beautiful and reminiscent of 90's movie music, without me delving into programming... just sounds a bit generic (again, a "beautiful" generic, but still un-unique).

On the programming note:
Guess I'm a little lazy, but it'd be nice to have a youtube video of someone editing on the 01w like this one of someone with the M1:

I imagine the waveshaping if used in an aggressive manner could produce some really unique sounds.

I also have a M1 and tend to play that more. There's fat quality to the presets on the M1 that I can sometimes get from the 01w at times after tweaking the settings and eq a bit. For me, the M1 is "fat," while the 01w is "clean". I used to also have the X5DR, which to me was kind of a mix between the M1 and the 01w, some juicy fatness, but also a lot of crystalline sparkle.

THE BIG ISSUE I have with my 01w is the aftertouch takes way to much force. And yes, I have maxed out the settings that control aftertouch (both the software settings AND that little internal screw that I accessed when replacing the battery). I thought I remembered reading that you could pull up the strip that sits under the keyboard and do something to increased the sensitivity, but just can't recall and I really don't want to mess with it...

My M1 has the most amazing aftertouch sensitivity, it works just great as a controller and had originally got my 01w so I could have that same excellent aftertouch along with 88 keys! ... but maybe I got a lemon I that department?

Just sharing,
Jeff

It seems to me you’d be better off selling the 01 and getting another M1.
