Vintage Synth Repair

Hi Kiefen,

> I just uploaded the original factory preload programs for the Korg 
DW-6000.

Good work, perhaps you want to join/post to the DW8000 yahoo group?

I recently got a battered DW6000 and fixed her up.  I also modified 
her to have 256 waveforms instead of the paltry 8 :)

The extra waveforms are accessed in 32 banks of 8 so the orignal 
selection of independent waves can occur.

The banks are accessed by a knob (potentiometer) connected to and ADC 
which then acts as the bank select.  Theres now 2Mbytes of wave ROM 
instead of 64kbytes :)

You can see it here where I showed it at this years Synth DIY UK.

It sounds like a PPG when you sweep the wave banks - not smooth but 
hey!

The extra waves were culled from some synths (PPG/CZ/Ensoniq) and 
made by myself.

I'll have a web page dedicated to it soon.

Great synth - very underated.

I also modified my Poly 800 using the infamous Moog Slayer mod.
