Korg 800DV

Manufacturer:

Korg Inc.

Year:

1976

General:

The so-called "Maxikorg 800 DV" (DV = "Dual Voice") is two synthesizers in one, because it has two complete independent systems for tone generating. Korg also called it the "first stereo synthesizer". This tank (the weight is about 16.5 kg) represents the early sound of Korg synthesizers, it has 44 keys and is hard to find on the second-hand market.

Usage in Kitaro's music:

In concerts this synthesizer is always built up together with the Korg 700S. It is always used for nice "analoge" sounds.

To hear on which album or to see on which DVD?

Kitaro uses the synthesizer very often, like the Korg 700S. I think it is used in nearly every Kitaro album. But the problem is that most booklets don't give enough information.
