Hi Notebender

The AWM technology was first introduced by Yamaha around 1985 (Although it has been updated), the Korg is based around the Triton series so probably around 2000.

WARNING: Do not but something just because it is newer; only buy something that suits what you want to do.

Hope this helps

Bill
