Korg DW-8000 Getting New Superpowers After 40 Years
tubesockor has announced a new project that promises to bring new superpowers to the Korg DW-8000, which was originally introduced 40 years ago, in 1985:
“I reverse engineered the OS (firmware) of the Korg DW-8000 from 1985, and have started to add some new features. Bringing some new life to a 40 year old synth!
First up, as a proof-of-concept, is an additional waveform for the LFO.”
There’s no word yet on what this will look like in terms of a commercial product. But, if you’ve got a Korg DW-8000, you can leave your wish list for new features on tubesockor’s Youtube post.
