DW-800 PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL WAVEFORM SYNTHESIZER OWNER’S MANUALDW-8000 mms FEATURES OF THE KORG DW-8000 polyphonic synthesizer featuring an advanced Digital Waveform Genera- tor System (DWGS). The DWGS has sixteen digitally encoded waveforms stored in four 256 kilobit ROM chips. These waveforms are digitally en- coded samples of actual acoustic instru- ments recreated by additive synthesis techniques to enable more realistic sound synthesis. (The sixteen waveforms also include simple sawtooth and pulse waveforms such as “\, [1.” and “0U" which are found in conventional analog synthesizers.) ] Anew kind of 8-voice programmable noise generator, and VCF and VCA modules for sound synthesis. You can enjoy the uniqueness of digital sound plus quick and logical sound synthesis as in analog control. ) Uses two Digital Oscillators, analog with Initial Touch (key velocity) and After Touch (channel pressure) func- tions. These functions give you real-time control at your fingertips of output volume, tone color, and pitch modulation for finely-controlled, dynamic playing. 3 The DW-8000 features a keyboardThank you and congratulations on your choice of the Korg DW-8000.

POWER SUPPLY ‘© Use only with rated AC voltage. If you will be using this unit in a country having a different voltage, be sure to obtain the proper transtormer to convert to rated voltage. ©7o help prevent noise and degraded sound quality, avoid using the same outlet as other equipment or branching off extension cords shared by other equipment. WINPUT/OUTPUT JACKS AND CONNECTION CORDS Be sure to use siandard “guitar” cables with phone plugs, such as the cable supplied with this instrument, for input and output connections to the roar panel of the DW-8000. Never insert any other kind of piug into these jacks, MPREVENTING ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE ‘As a microprocessor based dovice, tho DW-£000 is extremely flexible in ‘operation, yet may possibly perform erratically if exposed to electrical in- terlerence from other electrical devices and fluorescent lamps. Avoid oper- ating the DW-8000 near possible sources of interference. It something Seems to be wrong, tty turning off the power, waiting about ten seconds, then turning it back on. This resets the computer circuits to their initial state so performance should return to normal. HANDLE GENTLY Knobs and switches are designed to provide positive operation with a light touch, Excessive force may cause damage. MMAINTENANCE Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Never use paint thinner, benzene or other solvents, KEEP THIS MANUAL Store this manual in a safe place for future reference. MEMORY BACKUP ‘© To protect your programmed memory contents, the DW-8000 utilizes a builtin rechargeable backup battery power supply. Battery life is rated at five years or more, so replacement is recommended alter five years. Contact your Korg dealer or authorized service center at that time. For maximum security, save your sound programs on tape, using the builtin tape interface system. Then if memory contents are accidentally erased oraltered, you can simply load the data back into DW-8000 inter- nal memory in seconds!CONTENTS FEATURES & FUNCTIONS 1 FRONT PANEL 2 REAR PANEL and BASIC SETUP SELECTING PROGRAMS This explains how to select any of the sounds stored in the OW-6000"s memory. 1 About Program Numbers 2 How to Select a Program Number CREATING SOUNDS How to make new sounds 4 Sound Synthesis Techniques 2 How to Make New Sounds 3 Parameters Stored in Memory 4 Writing Programs to Memory PERFORMANCE FEATURES How to play effectively 1 Functions for Playing 2 How to Use the Arpeggiator TAPE INTERFACE 1 Features and Functions for Contro! 2 Saving Program Data on Tape 3 VERIFY Procedure 4 LOAD Procedure 5 Tape Interface Precautions MiDI 1 How MIDI Works 2 DW-8000 MIDI Features MIDI IMPLEMENTATION 1 Transmitted Data 2 Recognized Receive Data 3 System Exclusive Message Reference SPECIFICATIONS AND OPTIONS 73FEATURES & FUNCTIONS ].FRONT PANEL MVOYSTICK ARPEGGIATOR SPEED, ASSIGNABLE, OCTAVE, ON/OFF, LATCH, SPEED INDICATOR, OCTAVE INDICATOR MIKEY ASSIGN 4 POLY 1,POLY 2,UNISON 1, UNISON 2 MEDIT SLIDER MIPROGRAM SWITCH J} MIPARAMETER SWITCH !

On the DW-8000, there are 49 parameters per pro- gram; each parameter has a number, and each pa: Tameter's value is also represented by a number These numbers ere shown on the front panel display To create or change a sound, you select parameters and change (or “Edit") their values. When the DW-8000 stores a sound in memory or cals it back from memory, it is actually storing and recalling the values you have given it for the sound's various parameters. All possible parameters and values are listed in the “parameter index” chart on the right side of the DW-8000 front panel. To create or change a sound, you first use the number keys to se- lect a parameter number, then you use the edit slider and upidown keys to change its value. Sound Synthesis on the DW-8000 To create new sounds on the DW-8000, you change or edit old programs. You do not start with a “blank slate”. There are 64 sounds already in memory. If you have a new sound in mind, the easiest approach isto first select a sound that resembies the sound you want to croato. Thon “edit” (change the selected sound until you get the sound you want. If you don’t find a similar sound, it doesn't matior; start with any sound you ike.)

That is, store your first sound under program number 1, the second sound under program number 2, and so on. You can then use a footswitch to advance from one Sound to the next, as you need it. Sounds are repositioned by copying them from their pre- sent program number to a different program number. 1) Set the rear panel WRITE switch to the ENABLE posi- WRITE tion, ENABLE DISABLE alii =] 2| Use the NUMBER keys to select the program number of the sound that you want to reposition Sc SSCS SES SSECREATING SOUNDS 3) Press the WRITE key on the front panel. wire Fashing 4| Use the NUMBER keys to select the program number Where you want the sound to be located.

The DW-8000 is MIDI equipped, so it can be connected to other MIDI equip- ped synthesizers, sequencers, rhythm machines, and personal computers. ].How MIDI Works The MIDI Controt System In the early days of electronic music, it was possible to “interface” (ie, interconnect) older monophonic synthe- sizers together by using two simple voltage signals. One was a CV (control voltage) signal that determined pitch. The other was a trigger signal that started and stopped each note. But such techniques are too cumbersome and unreli- able for today's computerized polyphonic synthesizers. So the MIDI format was developed. In contrast to the older Cv/Gate voltage signals, MIDI uses B.bit digital words transmitted serially from instrument to instrument to communicate pitch, nate on/off, and all kinds of infor- mation, MIDI Channels H you are using more than two MIDI synths (or other MIDI units), then you can assign them different channel numbers (sort of like TV channels). There are 16 possi ble channels (designated as channel 1, channel 2, and 80 on) for sending and receiving. Encoded as a number. researc) (Converted to MIDI ‘serial data format. ¥0¥ - eee Data is decoded so that it can be used by the synthesizer’s internal computer system.MIDI MIDI Channels sot wn // Wf assigned to a different channel @nd rot in OMNI Synthesizer (set mode) then the synth — uptorecei only ie woud net respond to ths channel Ifyou are using a MIDI sequencer or computer then you and drum machines to different channels, you can make can assign particular instructions and data to particular each instrument play a difierent part of your musical com- channels.

MIDI ——_———— ENIIDI can be used to many kinds of messages that contain instructions and information to be used by the receiving synthesizer and/or rhythm machines. The main kinds of MIDI data are described below. 1. CHANNEL VOICE MESSAGES These tell the receiving synthesizer(s) which sounds to Use, which notes to play, and when to start and stop playing those notes. They may also include instructions to use portamento, modulation, and other eftects, TI NOTE ON EVENT This tells the receiving synth to start playing @ note (equivalent to depressing a key on the keyboard), DINOTE OFF EVENT This tells the receiving synth to stop playing a note {equivalent to releasing the key on the keyboard). TACONTROL CHANGES This can be used to control pitch modulation, sustain (damper), portamento, and other effects. PROGRAM CHANGES This is used to select the sound program number to be used. Therefore, the receiving synthis) can be made to change its Sound by remote control. IGICHANNEL PRESSURE (AFTER TOUCH) This message indicates the operation of After Touch (a function to add effects such as pitch modulation by pressing harder after playing the key on the key- board). [IPITCH BENDER CHANGES This is used to control pitch bend effect. NOTE ON and NOTE OFF EVENT above also include the following information. NOTE NUMBER Every note has 2 number (representing the key on a keyooard). This number tells the receiving synth which note to play. Fig, 1. Note number in iano range || |0| se |} | | fo] ae sla | rfl VELOCITY This determines how loud the note is played. (Not all synths can send or receive this data; however, no pro- blems are created by mixing velocity and non-velocity sensitive keyooards.) The relationship between velocity value and “volume” is shown in the chart here.MIDI — — SSE 2. CHANNEL MODE MESSAGES These determine the channel mode used for communications. EJOMNI MODE ON, OMNI MODE OFF When Omni mode is set to ON, the receiving synths will respoond to all messages regardless of which channel they aro sont on. When Omni modo ie OFF, a synth will respond only to messages sent on is par: ticular specified channel. If you turn off Omni mode, then be sure that the sending synth is set to the same channel number as the receiving synth powered ON. 3. SYSTEM REAL TIME MESSAGES Used for synchronizing rhyinm machines and se- quencers. Includes timing clock and starvstop data. 4. SYSTEM COMMON MESSAGES Used when there are many MIDI units, inclucing rythm Machines and sequencers, in a complex system. These messages include “song select” to specify song to be Played and “song position pointer” to tell the units to start at the same time, 5.SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGES Can be used tor passing data partaining to one manu- facturer's products (since each manufacturer has his ‘wn particular 1 number). Usually used for program ‘SAVE/LOAD and parameter-change operations. EIPOLY MODE ON, MONO MODE ON This determines whether NOTE ON/NOTE OFF will be handled as polyphonic (chords) or monophonic (one note played at a time). In the poly mode, the receiving synth will, of course, be limited by the num- ber of voices that it hes. In the mono mode, only one note will be played at a time, even if multiple note data is received.~ ).

WRITE COMPLETED : Sent in response to a WRITE REQUEST. This indicates that the PROGRAM WRITE task has been successfully completed, WRITE ERROR + Sent in response to a WHITE REQUEST. This indicates that the synth is set to the WRITE DISABLE mode so PROGRAM WRITE task cannot be completed DATA SAVE (DATA DUMP) : In response to a DATA SAVE REQUEST, this sends the data for the sound presently being produced. ea RECEIVE ID REQUEST A request for the equipment’s MIDI identification number. WRITE REQUEST A request for the DW-8000 to write data for the present sound to program memory. DATA SAVE REQUEST = A request for the DW:2000 to send data for tho proont sound. DATA LOAD (DATA DUMP) : Sound data information. Sound data is entered via the Data Load. PARAMETER CHANGE: Used to change parameters of the current sound. Ml The DW-8000 can use these system exclusive messages to communicate with a computer equipped with a MIDIin- terlace. (A program to process the exclusive messages is required.) Connecting a computer Because each exclusive message for the DW-8000 is specified with a channel designated by parameter 84, the core- sponding channel must be used for message transmission from a computer to the DW-8000. A message sent using the incorrect channel will be ignored, regardless of OMNI mode being ON or OFF. ‘These channels are used to effectively that timbre control could be done independently for each DW-8000 in a system using two or more DW-8000s, ees 7) SSS SS IMIDI IMPLEMENTATION Examples of communication with a computer 1 To find the ID number for equipment connected to the computer. ad fovea | computer Fai ——+1.__. is so Receiving ~~ . 7 = ae ; = " eae 8 2 To et sound data within the DW-600, [TS oo a Em ES cite wer af 7 wy / Recening Se Note: PROGRAM CHANGE is not a SYSTEM Pes ter dle EXCLUSIVE message.
