Anon :Acquired 1986. Fairly easy to write or alter patches. Very good viol/viola patch done from scratch. Brass hard to get convincing attack. Factory patches ok, but not spectacular. Solid construction. Need to replace the memory battery but the original one is still hanging in there as of 13 Jun 95. Home-brew patches are accurately resettable: there are 86 variables with recordable numerical values (usually 0-31) for each parameter.

Tom Rule : The DW is a hybrid synth - in essence, an 8-osciallator digitally controlled analog synthesizer. It was also the first synth to incorporate an effects unit (the digital delay - brand new idea at the time!)

Comments About the Sounds:
Digital Waveforms (hence DW) through analog VCF VCA path. Filter (~12 dB/8va) with resonance Great pre-DX7 synth. Organs & analog brass great. No sync.
