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

Hi!
I just purchased a DW8000. If I hold four notes simultaneously, then
the fifth note played turns off the first note I already played (in
POLY1 or POLY2 mode). It seems that my DW8000 has only 4 notes
polyphony. Is this possible? Or am I just dreaming? Any ideas?

Thanks, Jussi

One possibility is that this unit has the Turbo board installed, and is set 
to either split or layered operation (this would result in only 4 voices).
The Turbo manual is in the files section....

Hi, Jussi!

Congratulations for getting your DW8000.
If you haven't yet, try checking if MIDI feedback loop occurred. When MIDI
echo back is sent to the keyboard you're playing, it reduces the polyphony.

Best,

Thanks! You're correct! Unplugging the midi input fixes the problem.
This happens always when I'm loading a whole bank of sounds to my
DW8000  via midi.

I agree.

This is an unfortunate consequence of layering
patches.

But having a turbo board is great!

Win some. Lose some.
