I had a Korg Dw 8000, I thought it was an excellent sounding synth. Really cool hybrid Analog/Digital synth. Made really cool lead sounds. Arp feature was primitive but sounded nice. Kinda like a larger sounding SH 101 mixed with FM tones of a DX series synth. At least to me.
I picked one up maybe 5 years back for $150 or so... I ended up trading it for an Electribe. I just wanted something smaller and I already had a JP-8000 so...
You will enjoy the DW -8000 or at least your kid will. It's an excellent underrated synth. Should get every bit as much props as the Polysix in my opinion.
