A 6-voice
polyphonic analog/
digital hybrid synthesizer with a 61-note
keyboard. Released in
1984, it was the first synth from
Korg to combine digital
oscillators with analog
filters.
The DW-6000 features 2
DCOs per voice, with 8
sampled waveforms. One of the oscillators is
detuneable and has programmable
interval.
As a filter there is a
resonant low-pass VCF. Both the VCF and the
VCA have separate
ADBSSR envelope generators. An
LFO is also included.
Apart from the
polyphony, the DW-6000 can also be set to a
monophonic mode to
play all 6 voices simultaneously. The
patch memory offers 64
presets which are all
user programmable. Editing the
parameters is done via a single
slider.
They 61-key keyboard offers no
velocity or
aftertouch sensitivity. Full
MIDI support is available.
The synth was soon made
obsolete by the much improved
DW-8000 model.
