Korg DS-8 Vintage 61 Key Keyboard 1987 Black

The DS-8 is an interesting and fairly rare mid-1980s Digital FM synth, a competitor to the more famous Yamaha DX7 and Roland D-50.  It has its own unique tone, and built-in modulation and delay effects. 61 keys with Midi in and out. This keyboard works great and has very small scratches cosmetically. Very nice Keyboard.

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 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.
