A file with a .W01 extension is associated mainly with either WinImage Disk Image Part file or Yamaha SY-Series Device Voice. Depending on the type, there can be multiple ways of opening or using these files.

WinImage Disk Image Part

A W01 extension file could be a sliced part of a larger disk image created by WinImage. This application is a disk utility that allows users to create disk images from removable media, accessing the content (including compressed files) into a disk image.

Files with a .W01 extension can be opened directly in WinImage, select 'File' then 'Open', locate your .W01 file and the software will also sequence the other parts saved in .W02, .W03, etc.

An alternative would be converting the .W01 file to the .ISO file format via the 'File' > 'Convert' option in WinImage. Once converted, the ISO file can be opened with almost any disk imaging software.

These files contain 'Voices' or presets for the synthesizers, including sound data and possibly linked sample data. These files can only be utilized with the compatible Yamaha instrument or Yamaha's ProAudio software.
