DW-6000
OVERVIEW
The
DW-6000
uses a
new
digital
method
of
sound
generation
called
"Digital
Wavefornn
Generator
System"
or
DWGS.
Korg developed
DWGS
to
provide
a
higher
level
of realism
and
richness together with the
ease
of
operation
of
conventional
analog processing.
What
is
DWGS?
Conventional synthesizers
use
VCOs
or
DCOs
whicii
pro-
duce
simple
waveforms such
as
the
typical
sawtooth,
triangle,
pulse,
square,
etc.,
found
on
normal
synthesiz-
ers.
However,
to
obtain the richness
of
real
instrument
sounds, you
need a more complex harmonic
structure
than these conventional
waveforms
provide.
Korg's
-S^GS
uses
eight
digitally
encoded waveforms
having
we complex
harmonic
structures required
for
profes-
sional
music.
These waveforms
are
based on
actual
samples
of
real
musical
instrument
sounds
(violin,
acoustic
piano,
electric
piano,
saxophone,
etc.),
recreated
by
additive
harmonic
synthesis.
The DW-6000
uses two
DWGS
oscillators
per voice
so
you can mix
different
waveforms
in
variable
proportions
to
create
even
more complex
and
unusual sounds.
What's
more, the
DW-6000
uses analog
VGA
and
VCF
modules
so you
retain
the
familiar
operation
of
conven-
tional
synths.
You
get
fast,
predictable
results
without
the
programming and
control
difficulties
of
"digital"
systems.
On
the
DW-6000,
synthesis
is
straightforward,
following basic synthesizer theory of
pitch,
timbre,
and
volume
parameters.
