Synth Stuff Ep. 84 - Korg DW-8000

Before hitting a home run with the M1, Korg had the DW series which combined digital oscillators with analog filters. Much like the Ensoniq ESQ-1 or Kawai K3, it resulted in a sound that was digital, yet warm while companies like Roland and Oberheim were still making analog stuff. Eventually the D-50 and M1 would take the spotlight, but the DW-8000 is an underrated little gem. The built-in delay section is really good at thickening the sound. Here, I go through a handful of presets, some of them slightly modified, and a bit of reverb to liven things up a bit. Definitely a synth worth investigating if you come across a good deal on one. It's also worth mentioning that the MS2000/Microkorg feature the DW waveforms in them.
