Angel City Turbo

2004-07-28 by vette442td

I just picked up another DW-8000 (to supplement the one I bought new 
in '85). It has the Angel City Turbo Option. Does anyone have a 
manual for how this works? (I figured out some of it).  Also, I have 
an MEX-8000 memory expander and would love to have a manual for that 
as well. Thanks - 
Terry

each. So you could have 4 different DWGS waveforms in a layer with a 
slight limitation of the selection of the waves available. I have 
never heard of anyone who burned an alternative waveform set for the 
DW. The Turbo 8000 also gave you 8 banks of the 64 patches , very 
convienient , and more MIDI options , such as the ability to send & 
receive on 2 different channels.

love my DW8000 & DW6000.
