DW-6000 - This programmable 6-voice polyphonic synthesizer
features Korg's
new DWGS, the "Digital Waveform Generator System." It
has two digital
oscillator modules with a selection of eight waveforms each. These
waveforms
are stored in two 256Kbit ROM chips. Unlike the simple sawtooth
and square
waves of conventional synthesizers, these waveforms are digitally
encoded
recordings having complex harmonic structures for realistic sound
creation. On
the other hand, the VCF and VCA are analog for easy, speedy access.
It's the
best of both worlds-analog speed and convenience plus distinctive
digital sound
quality.
You also have two ADBSSR 6-parameter envelope generators for
VCF and VCA
respectively. 64 sound programs can be stored and instantly selected
from
internal memory. POLY and UNISON key assign modes can be included
in
programs. The Program up function can operated by foot switch
(or other trigger
signal), so you can change sounds without taking your fingers
off the keys.
Portamento, white noise, and stereo chorus effects are all included.
MIDI is
standard so you can control the DW6000 from other MIDI equipment
(even a
personal computer) or vice versa. A fast tape interface lets you
store any amount
of program data on cassettes.
