Subject: For Sale: RARE Korg DW-8000 with TURBO DW Expansion Upgrade from Musitronics / Angel City!!

From: <quiet_channel@...>
Date: 2014-04-20

Hello, all!
I never thought I'd live to see this day, but....
I've decided that I must sell my upgraded Korg DW-8000.

My wife and I are moving to New York City and will have so little space that I can only bring a few pieces of very small gear.

This synthesizer works absolutely perfectly and has a few significant upgrades- most notably the rare DW Turbo Expansion from Musitronics / Angel City. This allows for bi-timbral patches (with splitting or layering), a new (really exciting) modulation generator waveform (random S/H!), keyboard transposition, two simultaneous MIDI send/receive channels, patch 'compare' functionality (to hear the saved version of a patch before overwriting with your live patch), and additional patch storage banks!

I also added three switches just under the joystick: portamento push-button, patch up push-button, sustain/hold toggle (great for tuning, performing with drones, etc).

All of these modifications were carefully made about twelve years ago and I have never had any problems with them whatsoever.

I am asking the slightly high price of $500, as this is a one-of-a-kind unit and very hard to part with. Any less and I would prefer to find some storage space for it!

I currently live in Richmond, Virginia and would be glad sell locally. Also, I can include a very heavy steel custom fitted flight case (from the 1950s/60s?), but it may make for some expensive shipping! I am willing to ship anywhere in the world, but won't pay any shipping costs.

This synthesizer has served me well for about half of my life and has never been used outside of my smoke-free home studio.

Please email or text me if you are interested!
Thank you!
