Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

The one mod for the DW8000 I know of and have used for years was called Turbo 8000 and was made by a company named Angel City Audio. This person wrote patch librarys
for the DW and their ad appears in the classifieds of old Keyboard Magazine's after 85'.
The mod enabled the DW to have splits and layers of four voices 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.
It was a simple install procedure , just plug in a chip inside the dw box. It was about $200.   at the time. Maybe on Ebay.     I still love my DW8000 & DW6000.

Do you Yahoo!?
New Yahoo! Photos - easier uploading and sharing

Hello! I'm on the DW8000 usergroup of Yahoo's and would like to know if
there are any programs out there that would let me edit and shuffle voices
on my DW8K via my PC. I'm very much a luddite and have difficulty doing
websearches for such resources. I do have a MIDI to D15 pc cable which came
with the synth.

Any resources you may be able to steer me to, I'd greatly appreciate.

Sincerely,

ps- know anything about pre-programmed rhythm tracks for Alesis SR16 drum
machines?? Can't find much on that either!

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

hey there,
i have the DW turbo in one of my 8000's, and find myself most 
frequently using the turbo for the added Sample&Hold LFO.
The manual for the DW turbo is in the 'files' section of this group. 
and i'm not sure where i found it, but i have the manual for the mex-
8000 here, maybe i have it in pdf somewhere, i'll check my music 
computer for you.

Thanks a million - I now have the Turbo manual. If you have the MEX-
8000 one I'd love to get a copy and would gladly compensate you for 
your effort. Thanks again - 
Terry

I have an MEX-8000 manual and probably a PDF for it, or else I can make it into one, I'll 
post it and send you a copy.

I also have all the Angel City Turbo info.

The MEX-8000 manual is now posted in the Files section.  Go get it from there!  (No 
compensation required.)
