For description, see the comments below and Hospitality;
Some comments:
- Sensitive MIDI stream, it's good but the old. Occasionally, it gets stuck.
- The connector and controller wear, do not carry around too much synth.
- Polyphony is limited but the management is very well done and it rarely reaches the limit audible.
- 64 submissions is limited. For a long time, I used 2 MEX 8000 which added 4x64 memories by MEX. Now everything is managed from the Mac sysex.
UTILIZATION
It is a very intuitive and easy synth to program (nothing to do with DX). The control panel is well done and sound editing is done quickly. Everything follows very logically and the way programming is exemplary. The French manual is very clear but useless (unless it's your first synth).
SOUNDS
Being a big fan of a little bastard summaries, I agree with DW 8000 a place of excellence in style, mixing analog to digital: the unknown (thank you DX7) DWGS synthesis that is ultimately a kind of management wavetable sampled . It is stable as the digital, but with a grain, which only an analog range can give you. And it is programmed as a digital, it is in fact by its controllers.
It gives you the pads with great finesse, rather round in fact, the granulation of sound that can cover the whole spectrum. The leads are strong, aggressive show. One approaches the metal side of DX. For realistic sounds, it's not really made for that, though for organs, flutes or defend it a lot. It also produces beautiful electric piano freeware (but I prefer my TX more alive).
I like its keyboard, and principally made her beautiful expression aftertouch (rare at the time).
The effects are minimal (Chorus and Delay) and just expand the sound. Is better to add a digital effect at the time to cheap (Midiverd or equivalent to 50 €).
This is most lacking in this synth is more powerful converters. In a mix, it is often hard to defend if we do not go up by treating the output signal.
OVERALL OPINION
That's almost 20 years that I have. This is the first synthesizer that I kept. Before, I had the fingers Poly-800, Bit-01 and SH-101. At the time, I hesitated between the DX-7 (too complicated and not enough analog), D-50 (more expensive and its too "I saw you") and the ESQ-1 (as I bought later) and this little world was on sale at FNAC (yes, really). After I had much else, but the DW-8000 has always kept a place in my set, with pads and lead in particular. It's really a synth endearing, that beneath his plastic hides a big engine sound easy to handle. At the time, he was not given but I had the favorite. And I do not regret that choice.
