Coffeeshopped has added support for full patch editing and library organization for the Korg DW-8000 and EX-8000, on both Mac and iPad.
Patch Base lets you edit any parameter, organize your patches, create random patches, and more.
Pricing and Availability
Patch Base is available as a free download, allowing limited use of all synthesizers that the app supports. Full support for each synthesizer is available via In-App Purchase.
The DW8000 is a lovely synth – really unique sound with digital waves and analogue filters. Great that it folk are keeping it alive with a great editor!
I was very excited about this, then realised it’s a Mac-only app… sad 🙁
Picking up an iPad for music apps is sort of a no brainer. About $300 new, half that used.
True. Fwiw when buying used, avoid 16gb models – the most recent iOS takes 5GB+ plus another couple of GB’s in ‘other’. My 16gb Mini 4 is dedicated to Synclavier Go!
This is boss, I love my DW-8000! I really need to get an iPad now – worth the cost just to use it as a knob box for old machines. So many are supported now.
Again my criticism of the Patchbase GUI is that the entire layout is a monotone colour and the knobs/dials are all the same colour as well.
Prefer to see some colour separation between the vaious synth blocks.
