Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] one more modification; info about DW-8000

From: Michael Hawkins <korgpolyex800@...>

Thanks for that info. The specification of CPU in the DW says that it is able to run anywhere from 3.2 to 8mhz which means it's not that much more speedy than the 80C85. So it's good to know that there's not a whole lot more processing power needed to support many more features.

I always thought that people would prefer to have independent filter envelopes for each note hit. Atleast, it always bothered me that the Poly didn't have it.

But it doesn't matter too much right now because adding additional filters is not part of the initial project plan anyway.

Hi, the best group, what I have seen...

i like one filter as well. I got used on reaction of filter EG over
all voices.
Anyway i wanted split sound to filtered/unfiltered components. It is
possible by leading e.g. SIG2 from pin20 of NJM-2069 to new output
jack. Then you can process this voice indipendently.
But I did it by different way - I passed filter and connected SIG2
(pin20) to 2069 output (pin6). Of course, it caused (nice) feedback,
controllable by cutoff knob. If I inserted little capacitor (around
10pF) between pin20 - pin6, i got sound without feedback. Nice side
effect of this modification was Prodigy-like distortion, when i
turned volume higher.

Regarding of dw-8000 I found this
(http://us.geocities .com/diffused_ light/stuff/ dw8000.html):

"Internally there are 3 main boards- the digital board, the analog
board, and the delay board. The digital board has the CPU circuits
and the oscillators. The CPU is a Hitachi HD63B03X. The "DWGS"
oscillator system is made up of 8-bit waveforms (multisampled by the
octave as far as I can tell) stored in 4 256Kbit ROM chips, with two
custom chips to generate the audio signals from there. The DAC is a
DAC08, and the output of that is split into 16 separate signals by a
demultiplexer. There's another 8-bit DAC, an HA17008, for CVs. From
there it goes through NJM2069AD voltage controlled mixer / filter /
amplifier chips (which have unusued 2-pole filter outputs) on the
analog board, then to the delay board, and out. The delay is a 12-bit
companded delay with a VCO-based clock and 16KB of RAM (If I'm
correct with my math, this means that at maximum delay time, the
delay sample rate is only 10667 Hz!). A custom chip, the 65010CW-113,
controls everything."
