Korg DW-6000

The Korg DW-6000 is a six note polyphonic hybrid synthesizer with two digital oscillators and one analogue lowpass filter per voice. Its eight basic waveforms were originally generated through additive synthesis (DWGS in Korg's nomenclature), but there is no facility for editing their harmonic content by the user.

Patch editing is performed by the typical (for the time) method of selecting a parameter then using a single data slider to increment or decrement the value. Curiously, the factory patch names are written on the front panel, a trait more apt to be found on consumer keyboards rather than professional synthesizers. Another trait that belies the DW-6000's "budget" role, relative to its more capable and expensive fellow Korg unit Korg DW-8000, is the lack of velocity sensitivity or aftertouch capabilities.
