I hope they'll find a coronavirus vaccine...

careful what you wish for. Bill Gates will chip up your ass.

DW 8000 VST is safer, so lets go with that. Bjorn.

The Mac guys with Logic only will chip you for this.

Cheers, Björn

I wish. I'm saving up for iPad 2020, my first Apple device, but if Apple crusaders want to deliver it to me faster, please guys, feel free

Thanks Björn,
Brings back old times. This was my first synth that I could buy at that time. It had those reversed colored keys, kinda weird actually. Funny to hear it now with velocity sensitivity. No MPE plans? Cheers

I can't believe no one has done one, yet, but sure hope Björn considers this.

Write/code a new one, problem solved

why would you sell DW 8000, Bjorn? did you starve at some point in life?

My was destroyed in a lightning hit. At the time, irreparable (today, had I kept it, probably could have been repaired for a couple hundred dollars). Disposing it was really, really painful.

I loved that thing, and KVR has shown me I was far from alone.

The DW-6000 was a bit weak and under-developed. But the 8000? Had on-board digital delay 2 years before the Roland D-50, loaned its usability to sampling (DSS-1) and the first user-comprensible FM synth (DS-8), and DWGS heavily influenced the Korg M1, which is still having a ripple effect today. It intrigues me that more people don't recognize the impact it had.

I bet if Björn put it to a vote, the FB-8000 would take top position. I remain hopeful.

I have an EX-8000 fully operational, in case that helps

Yes, when I was a student, almost. And to be honest, I did not like it that much... horrible editing...

But please, don't get this thread derailed. It's about the Fury-800.
