KORG DW-6000 Synthesizer 1985 | HQ DEMO

The KORG DW-6000 "digital waveform synthesizer" came out 1985. DW stands for "digital waveform". Few months later, Korg presented an updated version, the DW-8000.

The KORG DW-6000 has 6 notes polyphony, 8 waveforms (including sawtooth, but no pulse or square, which is a pity), and superb 24db analog filters - one for every voice (unlike the Poly-800). There is also a chorus, which can be switched on or off. It has an UNISONO mode, which helps you to get fat basses. 2 envelope generators (ADBSSR). MIDI interface, SysEx abilities. Tape interface to load/store soundbanks.

The basic sound of the DW-6000 is somewhere between Poly-800 MK1 and DW-8000. To my ears it sounds more like a Poly-800.
You can produce some decent sounds with the DW-6000 - which you can't exactly duplicate on a DW-8000.

In this clip I played the DW-6000 dry, without any external effects.

THE SOUND PROGRAMS IN THIS MOVIE:

Do you have a DW-6000 and want to play with the powerful sounds you are hearing here? You can buy the "ANALOGAUDIO1 DW-6000 PATCH BANK" (64 sounds) for 12,99 Euros.
After payment through PayPal you will get a MP3 with sound data for the tape interface of your DW-6000 via email.
The details about the functionality of the tape interface are described in the manual of your synth. If you want, I can also send you a SYX file (MIDI SyEx).

The bank contains lush analog pads, great retro sounds, fat basses, sequencer sounds and funky leads (in one word: all you are hearing in this video and some more).

These sounds are mainly suited for electronica, techno pop, disco, dance, trance and classic electronic music (Jarre, Vangelis, etc..).

As an experienced synth player / programmer I programmed these special sounds carefully - these sounds are not available anywhere else!

The soundbank will not work with the DW-8000 / EX-8000.

If you want to buy the "ANALOGAUDIO1 DW-6000 PATCHBANK", please drop me a mail.

DEUTSCH: zu den Sounds im Video:

Wollt ihr euren DW-6000 mit den hier gehörten, phatten Analogsounds aufwerten? Für 12,99 Euro (über PayPal oder Überweisung) bekommt ihr die "ANALOGAUDIO1 DW-6000 PATCHBANK" mit 64 first class Sounds - als MP3 via eMail nach Zahlungseingang. Diese MP3 wird durch das TAPE INTERFACE des DW-6000 eingespielt.

Diese Soundcollection verhilft den verstaubten DW-6000 zum neuen Glanz - mit organischen, rohen Bässen, PPG-artigen Flächen, funky Leads, warmen Analog-Pads, Sequencer-Sounds, fetten Retro-Sounds (also alles was man im Video hört und ein paar mehr). Also eine Art Frischzellenkur.

Als DW-6000 Kenner habe ich die Soundbank mit viel Liebe zum Detail programmiert. Diese zeitlosen Klänge unterstreichen den analogen Charakter des DW-6000. Sie eignen sich für Electronica, Electropop, klassische EM oder für andere Styles, wo echt analoge Power gefragt ist. Diese Sounds sind übrigens nirgendwo anders erhältlich. 12,99 Euro, die wirklich gut "hörbar" investiert sind... auch fühlbar.

PS: Die Sounds funktionieren nur mit dem DW-6000, also nicht mit DW-8000/EX-8000.

I really love your videos..thank you so much for posting. It gives me a new respect for the DW and Poly series synths!

[AnalogAudio1]

@synthartist69 thanks :-)

[Tischhupe]

Somebody told me, that the DW6k has one waveform that the DW8k hasn't. As far as I know a "voice" waveform. Is that true?

[AnalogAudio1]

@Tischhupe The DW-6000 hasn't any human voice waveforms, although this would be very nice!

[camouflage81]

In the description you say the 8000 is an updated version of the 6000, but you also say some of the sounds of the 6000 cannot be duplicated on the 8000? Do you mean to say that some of the sound capabilities with the 6000 were changed so that i can't do exacly the same sounds on the 8000 that i can with the 6000? Which one do you recommend, Please? =)

[AnalogAudio1]

@camouflage81 Regarding the technical specs, the DW8000 is an updated version of the DW-6000. But Korg also changed the sound characteristics, so that they sound different... and this is a matter of taste. From the technical point of view, I would recommend the DW-8000. (Watch my DW-8000 demo in comparison).

[waxmastawes]

that patch at 0:30 .... is it do-able on the dw-8000? I'm gonna have a go at it tonight.

[galenrivera512]

Watch the vid I'm going to share

[HatredPrime]

For me best synths are those with digital waveforms and analog VCF VCA like Kawai K3 , Ensonq ESQ-1/SQ-80 or my fav DW8000 these synths got something in their sound that other digital or analog synths don't - some weird , clean/dirty, cinematic ,signature. I think those synths are peak of subtractive synthesis not VCO ,DCO , I know this is controversial statement for many synth lovers.

[stellarartwars07]

The case style of this reminds me of a Juno 106!

[Synthesist94]

Very cool :D

[blauwolfenduro]

put a digital delay to it and its a spacemachine!!,i will never sell mine

[PeteMOBie]

Great, inspiring Demo. Love my DW6000 too!

It is often overlooked for the DW8000. I got mine 6 months ago from the first owner and she had everything .. the user manual, Korg case and Factory Sounds cassette. The Filter resonance reminds me of the Poly61 I once owned.

Do most of your sounds use the Chorus ON?

Is it true that Dave Smith "borrowed" the DW6000 Wavebell wave form for his Prophet VS?

IMHO the DW6000 was Korg's first step towards sample and synthesis that ultimately lead to the M1.

[metalzone2000]

my first synth! loved this machine! till the memory battery went and someone cracked the case. in the middle of building a custom shell for it.
