Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

Hi Guys,

Well this is my first post here as ive just bought a faulty DW-8000.

The problem im having is when i power up all lights flash but then
onlt the speed light stays on, if i turn the power on and off i then
get a red line in the displays but no sound but as i mess about with
the joy stick i get some strange sound like the sea for awhile then
just hissing??

I new the keyboard was fauly and thought i may get be able to get it
working with alittle help....


I did wonder if it could be the battery thats gone and all the
patches are lost or could it be someting else??

Hope someone here maybe able to help me..

Any advice would be great.

regards

John.

Hi, welcome :)

Red lines and flashing lights are imo the result of a defect ROM/RAM or
the contacts of the ROM/RAM need to be re-wired or re-soldered. As many
other Synths with CPU´s also do, the ROM needs to be first copied into
the RAM, so the DW can work with it. If the DW-CPU has a internal
RAM/ROM, you have to order a new CPU from KORG (if it´s still
available).

Maybe there´s also Trash inside the program memory. Clear RAM procedure:
Turn off the DW, hold down number keys 5 and 8, turn it on. if the DW
works now, re-load the factory sounds from Tape.

Greetings

Stef
