This listing is for a Korg DW-8000 hybrid synthesizer that is fully operational with one known issue: the lowest 8 keys do not trigger. All other keys function normally, and the synthesizer operates as intended.

Condition & Functionality:

Cosmetically, the unit is in fair vintage condition, showing typical signs of age and use, including light scuffs and wear consistent with a mid-1980s instrument.

Originally released in the mid-1980s, the DW-8000 is a highly regarded hybrid synthesizer, pairing digital DWGS oscillators with an analog resonant low-pass filter and VCA, delivering a distinctive sound that blends digital character with analog warmth. It remains a favorite among producers, performers, and collectors.
