Talk:Korg DW-8000

August 2006
Would it not be more appropriate to say that this is a hybrid synth? Is not digital but at the very first stage of the tone generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.205.90 (talk • contribs)

Not very stereo ?
Is this notable ? From 'Sound on Sound'
 * "In reality, the only aspect of the sound that is in stereo is the digital delay. Fair enough, you may think. But I have to add that this is pseudo-stereo created by passing opposite phase signals down the left and right outputs. If you still haven't figured out why this is a problem then I hope you never hear your recordings played back in mono -- where the left and right delay signals will cancel each other out, leaving your DW8000 sounds bare and stark to the world! The answer is to make use of the mono output only to avoid any such problems"

The historical part is confusing
This part might read as if the D50 is multitimbral, but it isn't. Today the DW8000 earns very much respect and is much sought after, more so than the D50/M1. It is by many considered the best digi-synth from the eighties, as it is hugely flexible and sounds massive. It can be controlled real time with rotary Midi controllers, it has an excellent arpeggiator, so you basically have a DX7, a SH 101, a TB 303 and a Juno 6 in one case. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.93.42.97 (talk) 11:02, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
