Korg released the DW-6000 in 1984 as their followup to their popular Poly 800 synth. The five octave keyboard was Korg's first digitally controlled analog synth hybrid. It featured 8 sampled digital waveforms, 6 voice polyphony and a analog resonant filter which was great for producing bass and lead patches. 64 presets that can be held in the DW6000 memory with a data cassette interface which let you load in additional sounds via a cassette tape. It also included a good sysex spec enabling you to load in new sounds via MIDI. One of Korgs first synths to have this feature.

Creating new sounds using the DW's tiny display is not really a problem, but it's always a lot easier using a good computer editing program. If your interested in creating new sounds for the DW6000, MOTU's Unisyn is a great computer editor. We have used Unisyn with hundreds of different synths to create our custom libraries including the sounds that we are offering for the DW-6000.

The Kid Nepro DW-6000 patches are available in the following formats:

AIFF or WAV files - connect your computer audio output to your Poly-800 cassette interface input and you can load in the sounds the same way you would from the data cassette tape. The files will open in any program that plays AIFF or WAV files.

System exclusive files (.syx) & midi files (.mid) - for those of you with a EX-800, Poly-800-MK2 or an original Poly 800 with the ROM chip upgrade. Sounds can be loaded through the Korg's midi port. You need a midi interface or sound card to connect to the synths midi input. We provide the software that lets you load in the new sounds. The sounds are available in both Mac and PC formats.

There are two banks of sounds included in the collection. Each sound bank contains 64 new programs for a total of 128 new sounds. Our sounds will also get you back in business if your DW6000 battery has died and you lost all the sounds in the memory.
