Subject: Re: [DW8000] Re: DW out of tune

I fixed the key clatter on mine by changing the "fabric" that dampens the key release.. Not a very hard fix, but requires you to completelly disassemble the keyboard..

There is no transpose parameter (save for OSC 2's) programmed in the
DW8000.

This seems most likely a hardware issue. still..

The "Write" button doubles as it's midi reset (panic button). If that
doesn't fix it, blast it with a few panic resets from your DAW. After
that, clear it's memory, reload it's factory patches afresh. After
that, it's time to take it in for repair. Assuming you're in the
States, Midwest Audio in Arlington Heights IL is highly respected.
Should it require service you may as well have them replace it's
battery. Key clatter on mine is extremely loud, how about yours? Good
luck. Leonard
