New LCD backlight & new battery installed by tech. Fully functional, tested, and works great! Just minor marks/scratches. Overall it is in very good cosmetic shape. Include power cord only.
From vintage synth:
The DS-8 is Korg's contender among synths like the Roland and Yamaha . It is a digital FM synthesizer with 4-operators per voice, 8 voices of polyphony and 8 parts multitimbrality. It's good for percussive, strange effect noises and such because its sound (similar to the ) is so unique. It has some digital effects such as chorus, flange, delay and analog-like controls for modulators, envelopes and the LFO. A joystick provides control of modulation and pitch bending. It also has a performance section for quick edits on the fly using (3) real-time sliders to control timbre, EG1 and EG2. A nice alternative to the common DX-7.
The DS-8 and 707 use the same YM2151 / YM2164 OPM chip set as the Yamaha DS-9, FB-01, and CX5M computer. (source CX5m.net)
