FEATURES OF THE KORG DW-8000
1
A new kind of 8-voice programmable
polyphonic synthesizer featuring an
advanced Digital Waveform Genera-
tor System (DWGS).
The DWGS has sixteen digitally encoded
waveforms stored in four 256 kilobit ROM
chips. These waveforms are digitally en-
coded samples of actual acoustic instru•
ments recreated by additive synthesis
techniques to enable more realistic
sound synthesis. (The sixteen waveforms
also include simple sawtooth and pulse
waveforms such as "~,
n . . "
and
"I\J"
which are found in conventional analog
synthesizers.)
2 Uses two Digital Oscillators, analog
noise generator, and VCF and VCA
modules for sound synthesis. You
can enjoy the uniqueness of digital sound
plus quick and logical sound synthesis as
in analog -control.

The DW-8000 features a keyboard
with Initial Touch (key velocity) and
After Touch (channel pressure) func-
tions. These functions give you real-time
control at your fingertips of output
volume, tone color, and pitch modulation
for finely-controlled, dynamic playing.
