PCM Wavetable
Rompler module, internal ROM contains 256 PCM samples recorded at 16 bits resolution. The 03RW wavetable is roughly organized into 4 sound familes:
- 138 acoustic samples
- 95 drum / percussion shots
- 12 DWGS (from classic hybrid synth Korg DW-8000)
- 10 digital samples from analog basic waveforms (e.g: sawtooth, square).
Expansion Cards Wavetable can be expanded using special PCM cards :

PERFORMANCE the COMBINATION mode handles up to 8 parts (16 in GM mode) each with individual functions:
- Midi Channel assignment
- semitone transpose
- stereo panning
- volume mix gain
- keyboard zone
- 8 preset velocity curves
- 5 standard tuning scales
- aftertouch is assignable to: pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude or filter LFO amount
- external bender / modulation wheel can be assigned to OSC1/2 pan, filter cutoff (sweep) and modulation to pitch (both OSC1/2) or filter.
Envelope up to 4 EGS with same 4 segments + 3 times + keytracking structure:
- 1 EG amplitude (VDA) for osc1
- 1 EG amplitude (VDA) for osc2
- 1 EG filter (VDF) for osc1
- 1 EG filter (VDF) for osc2
Also 1 EG pitch: 3 segments + 3 times.
Filter
simple non-resonant digital lowpass filter (VDF) with no special control. TIP: The VDF can be controlled by aftertouch signal or assigned to modulation LFO (the "MG")
HEAR 03rw lowpass filter
EFFECTS up to 2 processors can be chained in serial or 3 parallel mode.
Included effects are: reverb (hall, plate, spring ...) delay, chorus, flanger, distortion, overdrive, phaser, autopanning, rotary leslie, EQ and effects combination (e.g: delay+rotary) HEAR FX flangerMIDI full sysex control, a few Midi Control Change for basic controls. Sounds and library can be saved to standard Midi dump.
MAINTENANCE & MODDING module 03rw is very reliable im time , and I never had any troubles. Maybe tact switches can be replaced after some time.
No special modding but a CIRCUIT BENDING
- edit interface
- stripped 01 technology
- cheap now
- good '90 rompler
Korg 01W bigger brother with more waveforms and waveshaping process. The 01 series is not compliant to GS/GM protocol. 03rw and 01 series are NOT compatible even if they share a similar wavetable
Korg RE-1 an external optional editor for quicker edit (if features preset templates for M3R, effect A1 and of course 03rw). it is quite rare
korg 05rw another module with similar name but it is not compatible with 01 / 03 series - a consumer version is AG-10
