The Korg DW-8000, released in 1985, is a hybrid digital-analog synthesizer that combines the flexibility of digital waveforms with the warmth of analog filters. Key features include:

  • Polyphony: 8 voices
  • Oscillators: 2 Digital Waveform Generators per voice, offering 16 sampled digital waveforms, including traditional shapes like sawtooth, square, and sine, as well as more complex tones such as bells, clavinets, and pianos.
  • Filter: analog 24dB/octave low-pass resonant filter, providing rich and warm tonal shaping.
  • Envelopes: Advanced six-stage envelopes (Attack, Decay, Break Point, Slope, Sustain, Release) for both the amplifier and filter, allowing for detailed sound sculpting.
  • Keyboard: 61 keys with velocity and aftertouch sensitivity, enabling expressive performances.
  • Effects: Built-in digital delay capable of up to 500ms, with modulation options for chorus and flanging effects.
  • Arpeggiator: Integrated arpeggiator with multiple modes and tempo control.

This particular unit functions perfectly, delivering the classic DW-8000 sound renowned for its unique blend of digital and analog elements.

Condition and functionality

Cosmetically, the synthesizer exhibits some minor scratches and marks along the edges and panel, typical for an instrument of this age. These are purely superficial and do not affect performance; detailed photos are available for reference.

Notably, the internal battery and its holder have been replaced to ensure reliable memory retention. Additionally, the original two-prong power connector has been upgraded to a standard three-prong IEC C14 connector, making it easier to find compatible power cables.

  • Korg DW-8000 synthesizer
