Korg DW-8000
It was time to upgrade the keyboard again. In April of 1993, Jason bought Harry's Korg DW-8000 synthesizer. This was the synth that Harry had used way back in 1986 with their first band, Pheonix.
This synth provided many new sounds for the Studio to use, but more importantly it was used as a MIDI trigger for the new MIDI equipment the Studio purchased in June of 1993. And that has remained the synth's primary role all of these years. In fact, it is one of the key components of the current Metal XOR Studio since most of the music being record today is done in the computer.
There were recent plans to purchase a smaller keyboard, one to act as a USB MIDI trigger to connect to a laptop to make the Studio portable, but those plans were scrapped and it looks like the Korg will be in use for quite some time in the future.
