The W30 Music Workstation was released in the late 80's. It is a 12/6 bits sampler with full sample editing, onboard MIDI sequencing and wave table synthesis. It can read several samplerdisks types, like S50, S550, S330 and of course W30 disks.
Its expandable with the KW30 SCSI kit which works great. The W30 is very handy because it has 8 outputs and lots of software for PC, MAC, Amiga, Atari.
One thing that isn't quite handy is that the W30 doesn't have realtime filters, so if you want to use them you must have a midi mixer or use a sequencer on a computer. The W30 also doesn't have Sysex.
