KORG DW-6000 Synthesizer -1985- Demo Sounds

[@anoniconoclast2030]

Absolutely outstanding job you have done.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks Anon! I really appreciate it ;-)

[@nowavecharles]

This was the demo that sold me on this synth. You play great dude! I love my Korg DW 6000, to me it’s the closest I have gotten to getting that lovely 80s pad, brass, pluck, bass, etc type sound. The oscillators may be samples, but I was so impressed with how they sound coming through the filter. Pure bliss!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you very much! Yes, it's a very lovely synth ;-))

[@LaMentedelFuturo]

Hi bro how are you! I bought a Korg DW6000, how do I reset it and have the factory sounds? because he doesn't have any in the banks

[@agst2006]

Nice demo. The synth looks clean and well taken care of. Brings back my memory of college life

[@eaglechildkeys]

Agus Synth Music Thank you! ;-) I appreciate it! That’s fantastic to hear that . Cheers! :-)

[@henrikseglemgrydeland6490]

Cool video of an underrated synth. Good fun for us who remember the eighties!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Henrik Seglem Grydeland Thank you Henrik. Agree, is very underrated synth this beast ;-) Glad you like it!

[@pasromano75]

Nice sounds ! Very warm

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks for watching! ;-)

[@hermeslord]

when you couldn't get hold of a DX7 back in the day.. with the external chorus it sounds a decade before its time. Hugely underrated but highly capable for good 80s ballads

[@KurtFuller]

This was my first synth, but I sold it (I repent everyday). Maybe it is not the best or most beautiful synth in the world, but I love how it sounds.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hi ;-) I feel that way too because I had to sold mine to buy new gear. This synth sounds really awesome. I’m thinking to get the DW-8000 as soon as posible! Thanks for watching ;-)

[@rachelar]

Why not re buy the module?

[@Digiphex]

It makes some really nice EP's.

[@resynthesizer4565]

Dudes got chops. Great sounding keyboard. I've wanted one since I heard Kevin Moore on DTs first (well, 2nd) album.

[@Ben-yn9ze]

Very nice demo! I love the feel and vibe you have created with this video. EIGHTY FIVE is alive! Thank you!

Thank you Ben! ;-)

Hi Lars! Thank you for the kind words man. Really appreciate it! ;-)))

[@donjoe6580]

Great video. I bought my own Korg 6000 last year and like it a lot. I have Casio CZ-3000 and Roland SH-201 too. Last i bought Omnisphere. Even if I could play, it would be good:)

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hi ;-) Yes. It's a great synth and very underrated. I'm planning to get the DW8000 now! ;) Thanks!

[@markkeogh18]

Hi Don, can I ask what price range you paid for your 6000? I've got one I'm probably going to sell.

[@donjoe6580]

@@markkeogh18 Here Finland it cost 300e for me but in Ebay its cost more in some coutrys .

..que buen sonido amigo y hermosos acordes ochenteros!!! Eres un genio musical

[@eaglechildkeys]

Leonardo Flores Gracias amigo! Me alegro que te guste. Un saludo ! ;-)))

[@BradRushing]

I wish the different voices were labeled with text. I have some old recordings I made with this synth and need help identifying the voices used, and ideally if there is a counterpart I might find on a modern virtual synth so I can recreate them as closely as possible with MIDI. I do have the ClusterSound virtual DW8000. Thanks!

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks Brad! Have you tried the FB-7999? Is a very nice DW-8000 vst and it’s free. If you love this synth, is a must! 👌✨🎹 Cheers! 😃

[@BradRushing]

@@eaglechildkeys Thank you! I will look into it. At the moment I am trying to discover a way to identify the names of the voices I used on some recordings. I am certain that would be the stock ones. That is why I checked out this video.

[@eaglechildkeys]

@@BradRushing By the way.. Check the last pages of the manual , because appears the factory program names. Not sure if are yours, but hope it helps! ;-) manualzz.com/doc/51858340/korg-dw-6000-owner-s-manual

How can I get this excellent sounds in my DW6000? Please help me!!!

Hey, it was cool hearing ur sounds, and awesome synths. I have a Casio CZ from 85'. Peace bro

yeah nice playing! I have a CZ-1 which i love and a JX3P and i think im buying a dw-6000 tomorrow! about 250 USD think its a good deal?

[@jeffjunk]

Does anyone know how to factory reset the DW6000 after replacing the battery?? Thanks!

[@davedagreat69]

Just got a DW6000 but it needs a bit of love, which might be beyond my abilities. Seems like voice 6 is not working, and the left audio out is not working either. Great demo though by the way, really nice playing.

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks Dave! ;-) enjoy your DW. It's very lovely underrated synth!

[@duncanjackson4170]

[@RJ-pu6nc]

beautiful demo I just bought 1

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thanks RJ! ;-)

[@jfracine_composition]

Amazing demo as always ! How would you compare the sound with DW-8000 ? Worth having both ?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you JFrancine! I prefeer the DW-8000. Has a sequencer , effects, more polyphony and more waveforms! ;-)

[@heyhey708]

I have the 6000. I have heard online demos of both. I’d say the 6000 has a more vintage analog “fatter” sound. But the 8000 has additional waves snd more but a cleaner but also vy nice sound!

[@PyroPolo]

Does anyone know why the presets listed on the front panel don't match the ones in the manual? The ones on the front panel don't match the sounds

[@machiwoomiapoo]

[@ingoodmusic]

Hello Gentlemen!

[@oskrjunior]

Are these all the sounds within? Are you using any effects pedals? Or sustain pedal? Yours sounds better than mine

[@eaglechildkeys]

Oscar Romero Hi ;-) some of the sounds I edit by myself a little bit, and I added an external TAL CHORUS vst. ;-)

[@georgegeorgio1751]

@@eaglechildkeys Sounds good but some sounds are a little distorted so maybe check your levels on some of them.

[@jackthram6772]

Hi! This is a great demo and really sold me on this thing, thank you! I am curious about the patch at 0:45; aside from the chorus, have you edited it at all? Or is it one of the factory presets?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Thank you Jack ! I sold my DW months ago to buy new gear, but probably was factory sounds and I edited a little bit only. I’m trying to get the DW8000 rack version . Miss those sounds. Cheers! :)

[@jackthram6772]

@@eaglechildkeys Thanks so much! I appreciate the quick reply! A few more questions if you don't mind, I know you said you'd go with the DX7 over the DW-6000 in response to another comment, is that still true? What about this vs. the Roland JX-8P? Any other suggestions in that sort of price range? On the hunt for lush 80s pads :)

[@eaglechildkeys]

@@jackthram6772 Yes Jack, I prefeer the DX7. But it’s very personal this. About the JX8P…sounds really fantastic! I had one too. By the way…Have you listen some demos of the Waldorf Blofeld? I think is an amazing machine for pads! Also is more versatile than the JX. Hope it helps! ;-)

[@andrewj.682]

The one i got had a defect and would go in and out of tune like a tape when holding a note. Sadly it ended up blowing my studio, which at the time was cheap, but still, it blew my ai and my pc.

[@nichessler9323]

hi there. is the intro to this video the sound of the DW-6000?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hi Nic. Yes, it is! ;-)

[@tylernicolo7654]

If you had to choose: DW 6000 or Poly 800 mki

[@eaglechildkeys]

DW6000 would be my choice ;-))

[@maccagrabme]

Poly 800 mk1 for me without a doubt, the pads on that are perfect for 80s music. Also love the lofi quality.

[@pepinillosazucarados6743]

3:49 R.E.O. SPEEDWAGON !!! DID THEY USE THIS SYNTH ?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hi! The original seems a real Piano with a bit chorus effect , and on top, layered with a synthesizer sound (bells). In 1984 could be a Yamaha DX7 perhaps, but it’s a bit difficult to guess. This synth is from 85, a year after REO released their album. Cheers ;)

[@cikes.]

what would you choose between korg dw-6000 and yamaha dx7?

[@eaglechildkeys]

Hi Marcos! I prefeer the DX7 ;-)

[@Super7NorthernRails]

el sound del intro, pareciera de Outside edge flesh and blood :)

Late 1984 actually

@@biggrime just a lousy sound

[@thebkstank2095]

It seems ready for vapor wave

[@Axelvad]

I love the sound of this synth. It has great analog filters and lofi waves. Its just no frills one of the better korg synthesizer. The sounds are musical but it has a certain style to it.

[@Axelvad]

If i would have to choose a synthesizer for electric band style jazz or pads in general this would be it. And the chorus is great. Regret i sold mine

[@doordedeur]

It almost sounds like a Roland D-50 without effects.

[@Choober65]

So much "sameness" sorry Korg
