The Korg DW/EX 8000 plug-in
The Program Bank Window
The Korg DW/EX 8000 does not have any memory space to store patch names. They are only
known by a number 11,12,...,18,21,22... Static memory was expensive back then!
UniSynth provides a convenient way to remember a patch name: it looks up all files stored in
the Korg_DW8000\Patches\Singles folder. If it find one file having the same data than a
program, it uses the filename as program name. So to give a name to a program, just save it.
For example, if you want to give to program 32 the name 'Violin', select the program, click on
Program / Save and save it under Violin.syx. Now, each time UniSynth has a program with the
same settings than #32, the displayed name will be 'Violin'.
To prevent having several files (with different names) with the same data, UniSynth will ask
you if you want to delete the previous .syx file during saving.
If now you save Program #32 under the name 'Fiddle.syx', UniSynth will ask you if you want
to delete the file 'Violin.syx'. You can also cancel the whole operation.
If ever you still end up having several files with the same data, the first found will always give
its name to the program. With the previous example, if you don't delete Violin.syx, the
Program #32 will still appear under name 'Violin'.
The first time you request a bank from the DW/EX, you will probably have no names to
programs. You will have to give a name to each one:
– double-click on the program 11
– audition it to decide of a name
– click on Buffer / Save (or Program / Save) and use the chosen name
– 63 left...
If you modify a program data, remember to save it also to keep the name synchronized with
the patch.
The Edition Window
To pen the edition window, click on Buffer / Edit.
The Edition window will
display the settings of the
current Edit Buffer.
This windows presents three
areas : a time graph on top,
a control panel below, and a
command panel on the
bottom right-hand corner.
