Here is me jamming on the Korg DW-8000. Not sure if these are the default factory presets or some custom ones...but that's what I have loaded in there at the moment.
Wonderful machine. I remember playing it in the shop where I got the DW 6000 - couldn't afford the 8000 so bought the baby brother. Thanks for the memories. Still have the 6000 but can't remember when I last switched it on.
I think the DW-6000 is also a great sounding synth. In some cases I've been able to get the 6000 and 8000 sound almost identical. You can check out the Jam video I did for the DW-6000 where you can hear some of the sounds, I think it's an impressive little synth!
Its a fantastic sound, I knew Korg made great synths around this time but I didn't realise they were that good, I just looked it up and its hard to get, even the rack unit, hopefully I can get one sometime it would flesh out my small collection of synths :)
Check out the DW-6000 jam as well, I think it's a crazy great sounding synth too. It's too bad you probably don't live around here because I'm actually selling off one of my DW-8000's right now.
too bad the digital oscillator/analog filter concept wasn't explored a little longer. it had a brief window in the mid 80s, then affordable sampling came along and that was that. this was really the last period of real synthesizers.
