Circuit Overview:
      Enhanced DW-6000. Considered this as my first synth. A cool sounding hybrid with ROM waveforms and analog filters.

Service Tips:
      Same keyboard as DSS-1 and bushing tends to get noisy. Haven't delved in to see what the best solution is. Both my DSS-1 and DW8000 have pretty noisy key action. I'm trying to assist someone having intermittent lock ups and 6 instead of 8 voice polyphony response on an EX8000.


Parts:
I believe you'll draw mostly blank looks from Korg on these units. I have some parts that are the same so feel free to ask what the current stock is on a given thing. Some of the less common parts are getting quite hard to find though. THings pop up on ebay now and then..
