Warm Analog Filter - The analog filter is often praised for its warm and smooth sound, complementing the digital waveforms. Digital Waveforms: The DCOs offer unique and often surprising digital sounds, adding to the synth's versatility. Internal Delay: The built-in delay is considered a strong feature, providing a nice echo and spatial effect. Features: Six-Stage Envelopes: The six-stage envelopes offer a high degree of control over the sound's evolution, contributing to the synth's versatility. Velocity Sensitivity: Velocity sensitivity allows for expressive playing and dynamic sound modulation. Aftertouch: The aftertouch can be used to modulate various parameters, adding another layer of expression. Arpeggiator: The arpeggiator adds to the synth's versatility for creating complex patterns and melodies. Review: "The DW-8000 is an underrated little gem. The built-in delay section is really good at thickening the sound. Here, I go through a handful of presets, some of them slightly modified, and a bit of reverb to liven things up a bit. Definitely a synth worth investigating if you come across a good deal on one." Cash Only, Please! Korg, Synthesizer, Digital Keyboard, Analog Synthesizer
