Korg DW-8000
The Korg DW-8000 is a two oscillator, 8 voice synthesizer with 16 digital waveforms and analog VCA and VCF stages. It also features internal effects including chorus, flange, and delay. The performance control slider can be assigned to a parameter on a per-patch basis. The four-way control stick not only controls pitch bend and pitch modulation but pressing down it can send the LFO to another destination such as filter modulation. They were produced between 1985 and 1987. It was used by Keith Emerson in Emerson, Lake & Powell's Love Blind synth solo. Along with the Emu Emax it was played by Alan Wilder of Depeche Mode in the Celebration Tour in 1986 as well as Swiss band L'Eclair. We have 2 DW-8000 keyboard synths on hand. In addition we also carry the module version, the EX-8000.
