It has 16 oscillators, 2 per voice, and it is essentially a wave-table synth. It has 16 single-cycle waves to choose from. One is a sawtooth, one is sine, the others have varying complexity, and with 8 filters instead of one it isn’t going to feel much like a Poly-800. Not to mention the velocity and aftertouch and weighted keys. It’s one of my favorite keyboards for feel, along with the DX7 and D-50 and maybe the M1. The Polysix, Poly-61 and Poly-800 all feel the same. Plastic keys with springs. It has an arpeggiator that can do “as played” so it can almost double as a sequencer for 64 notes or less. Nice digital delay, auto bend and 4 waveforms on the LFO. No, it is not going to feel anything like a Poly-800. I would never part with either of them.Don B.Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2015 5:02 PMSubject: Re: [korgpolyex] hmmm.But does the DW8000 give you the same feel as a Poly 8?

One or two LFO's with only a few ways to modulate.The waveform generation of the DW-8000 - although better than the Poly - still doesn't give you much control over phase. PWM - true independent detuning and true independent modulation of all oscillators - all missing. The MIDI implementation is a lot better than Poly but still quirky enough to make it painful. The arpeggiator is standard fare without anything special. Though I do like the DW-8000, and 300 Euro's is pretty good for an EX-8000.

Hmm, that's kind of got me thinking. I don't suppose you've got wave ROM dumps for the DW8000, do you?
