How to use DW 8000 Angel City Turbo Board?
2005-10-11 by David Swaddell
HI I found a DW 8000 with an Angel City Turbo at a used instrument store. But I can't quite get the hang of programming the turbo. Users at Harmony Central wrote that a few keystokes would do the job. I got it to switch over twice, hearing different sounds, but I could not remember the keystroke combination. It reverted to the original patches when I started trying out the sounds with bank lock on. When I press Program and Parameter simultaneously, the red LEDs go to C and a parameter number, eg. C 26. If I press the bank button twice I the red LEDs change from a decimal lock to Lo Ad. I get it - Load! But what does the "C" mean? Does anyone know how to switch/program to the turbo mode? When you turn the DW 8000 off, are the turbo patches retained for the the next time it is turned on? There is a large sticker from Angel City with yellow letters giving the parameter descriptions, eg. parameter 18 selects "B" sounds from values 11 to 88, etc. I noticed that the Turbo parameters use numbers that are not program parameters written on the keyboard. If I can verify that the Turbo board works, especially for keyboard splits, etc., I'll buy it. Thanks for your help. David
