Korg DW-8000 - Analogue VCA and VCF Stages

Analogue VCA and VCF Stages

Whilst the source sounds were digital, the subsequent major sound shaping stages consisted of an analogue VCA enveloper using six stages and similar arrangement also for the analogue filter. The filter is unmistakably analogue and can be pushed into self oscillation using the filter resonance parameter. Further modulation of the sound could be applied using the single LFO which could either modulate oscillators to produce vibrato effect or the filter, or even both at the same time should such be desired. A significant creative limitation of the DW-8000 architecture was that the user could not control the LFO depth with respect to each oscillator, as they were both modulated in common.
