Korg DW-8000 Demo | No Talking |

[@boolage]

Nothing like a little Kevin Moore to show off that juicy solo patch.

What I love most about the DW is how strong and bright and clean the oscillators are. So many 80s analog polys had (in my opinion) weak oscillators which makes for a little bit of samey samey sounds, but these bright oscs sound so good through that filter and it's because they're sharp. And even though this is a gorgeous demo and sounds so incredible, the DW will always be this "bad" synth to forum heads and critics. Bizarre.

8:42 Pull me under...great demo!

[@DKS-SYNTH-LAB]

Yep! The original synth of that album (with JD-800)

[@Zwopper]

This and the DSS-1 are still great synths, and yes, the DSS-1 is primaraly a synth. Maybe a dinnertable second. 😁 The filter is soooo creamy in this!

[@crnogor]

Fantastic hybrid synth . If there is just an audio , i could think , it is full analog .Nice , slim design .

[@montazownianr1]

That part with choursed el.piano, could be soundtrack for some 80s movie, I would LOVE to hear something similar 😍

[@KandiKlover]

I miss low budget movies and tv shows that used solo synth like these for all their sound tracking.

[@user-np4hw4vn1j]

That thing is a treasure. Well played, too!

[@dijabreu]

Great video as always! Cheers from Brazil!

[@Smiling__Buddha]

I just subscribed because I love your montage sounds you post on Soundmondo. Please keep them coming.

[@PeterPrism]

Vecchie glorie, questa è LA storia. Grazie del video.

[@garethtalbot8950]

Some great sounds there. Well played.

[@gainofdysfunction4135]

I've never seen one this new !

[@Radiostate101]

SUPER!

.... stilllll got my EX-8000 rack version after all of these years!!, awesome true analogue sounding synth from mid/late 80's 😁👍. Originally had the synth, but keys were very clacky and need more studio space so logically went for the 8000 - a defo keeper!! 😎🙏🍻🇬🇧🔥

[@rayek4eq]

Did the same thing after my KB version started dying. Will never get rid of my EX. Such an amazing, underrated, unique synth.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

The sound of “Crescendo Brass” at 6:35 almost sounded as though you could hold down the beat for a whole song if you kept playing that way without stopping (or set up a loop). I had a chance to purchase a DW-8000 in January 2007 shortly after arriving in the city of .Indianapolis. My reasons for not trying to get it weren’t good. The closest I’ve gotten since are the MS-2000 I got in October 2008 and the microKorg XL I succeeded it with in April 2010:; each of them has waveforms from this synthesizer uploaded to its first oscillator.

Ci siamo passati in molti... Tu no... quando ci passavo io non eri ancora nato 😂😅😊❤

[@DKS-SYNTH-LAB]

Eh no! Mi mancava qualche anno 😂😂

[@stonethemason12]

The low strings section ❤

[@grahamjohnpreston]

Lovely sound. I owned a DW8000 in the early 90's along with a Poly 800. Big mistake selling them. 😟

[@NicolasMelis]

Great synth 🎹

[@theaudioeng]

Totally agree Nick! (Hi btw!! love your synth demo's too!!)

[@NicolasMelis]

@@theaudioeng glad you like them! Appreciate it 🙏

[@neilloughran4437]

Some synths just take you back to a specific time. Definitely has a vibe... stick some modern effects with stereo imaging on this and you're in another land. For me 1985/86 was the year I got into synths and I recall this in the shops along with the Poly 800Mk2 and Casio CZ5000. Always a bit too expensive for me (£1200 on release) ... it was a small fortune to part with £450 for my Juno 60 back then. Pretty sure Tangerine Dream were using the rackmount (EX8000?) of the DW8000 on some of their 1985-87 albums....

[@20thingsgoing62]

Great playing

[@systemfan8]

Are those custom patches? I don’t remember factory patches sounded so good:)

[@DKS-SYNTH-LAB]

All factory sounds 😉

[@stonethemason12]

@@systemfan8 hes just good lol

[@SynthOSphere]

Even better sounds can be obtained by reprogramming it yourself, but the Korg presets weren’t too bad, compared to other synths that came with horrible presets.
