Off-topic certainly, but it seems like we're all synth nerds here.

Anyway the DW-8000 is very nice sounding, though fairly limited.  Though you 
don't really need an editor, there's an old (windows 3.1) editor here: 
http://www.netaxs.com/~aruggeri/dw8000.htm or you could use a general 
purpose midi-editor program.  I have to ask, though, have you considered the 
DSS-1?  It's very cheap now, and essentially a DW-8000 (same basic voice 
structure, same lovely filters) with user-definable waveforms and some other 
added features (dual delays, oscillator sync, waveform creation via additive 
synthesis and drawing, it's a sampler too but I don't think it's 
particularly useful in that regard).  If you don't mind the size/weight 
(it's absolutely massive and there's no rack model) and you get one with a 
working disk drive, it would probably be a better alternative, for probably 
about the same price.
