Korg DW8000 Programmable Digital Waveform Synthesiser from 1985.
Super rare, lush, rich, warm but crisp sounding hybrid analogue / digital synth.
I love this thing and would rather not sell it but due to it's size and dusty contacts (has been unused for quite a while), it's not getting the use it deserves. Every time I plug it in, I write a track! It's a really inspirational sounding synth. Classic 80s sounds and lush built in delay. It can do sweet electro pop, techno, acid house, soul and plenty of weirder stuff.
Sound is digitally generated from the DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System) and has been doubled from 8 sampled digital waveforms to 16 simple analog plex digital waveforms. The DW-8000 has 8 voice polyphony in two modes, or one monophonic mode with all eight voices stacked. The analog VCF resonant filter and VCA both have independent ADBSSR envelopes. Parameters can be altered in real time via a single programmable slider. There are 64 presets that can be reprogrammed by the user.
It has an arpeggiator and is velocity sensitive.
Last year, I cleaned all the contacts and got the keyboard working. When I had this in my old studio (where it could fit), I used it with a MIDI keyboard and have sequenced it with my laptop. But the keys have obviously got dusty again and I'd rather sell it with this knowledge than spend the time cleaning it again - I'm a bit busy.
