But does the DW8000 give you the same feel as a Poly 8? Or does it feel like a completely different animal? On Wed, Sep 9, 2015 at 10:23 AM, Michael Hawkins

ok, sorry for the OT but thanks for the guidance. In the meantime a DW8000 popped up for 300,- incl shipping so I thought that was a good deal. Hope to feast

I will have to pull this back out of mothballing, but if you recall I had been working on this that can work either Stand Alone app or in Most DAW s as a VST.

OP, I would definitely not pay over $350USD for a EX-8000. That s the average going price for them here. You can usually get a decent DW-8000 for around

The DW-8000 has a bunch of things that the Poly-800 should have had. But the DW-8000 still has many annoying limitations that the Poly-800 also had. One or two
