Korg MiniKorg-700 | Vintage Synth Explorer

vintagesynth.com

The Korg MiniKorg-700 is a quirky piece of vintage gear that offers a unique sonic palette with its dual oscillators and odd control layout. While it has a certain charm and can generate decent analog bass sounds, its performance capabilities are limited, lacking essential controls like pitch and modulation. The eccentric design and strange terminology might not appeal to everyone, making it more suitable for collectors than practical musicians. Overall, it stands as a nostalgic relic of the 70s, appreciated more for its history than for modern usability.

Wonderful analog synth

I had a broken 50 year old version that I fixed up into a beautiful sounding synth. While the controls are a little different than modern analog synths (non-standard envelopes, for example), you just have to learn to play it the way it was designed. The bass and great sweeps on this track is the Minikorg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETHBZJIbvRg

Mini Korg-700 for sale. We got this one from our friend Vince Clarke (Erasure). We specialize in vintage synth servicing and, after a full overhaul, it's now working perfectly. This unit was had jacks added for pitch CV, gate and filter CV, making it much more useful than a stock Mini-Korg. Please search our site for Minikorg to find other units we may have available.
