Released in 2021, Korg MiniKorg 700FS was a spectacular revival of the legendary 1970s MiniKorg 700S analog synthesizer, enhanced with additional functionality that wasn't possible in the original. MiniKorg 700FS was so popular that its limited production run sold out quickly, creating significant demand for increased production. Korg has a long history of groundbreaking analog synthesizers, and has more recently gained recognition for faithfully reproducing some of its rarest and most sought-after models. MiniKorg 700Sm is a tribute to the sound of the iconic MiniKorg 700, the very origin of Korg's analog synth history, with new enhancements to meet the needs of today's musicians.
- Classic analog sound: faithfully recreates the rich, vintage sound of the original MiniKorg 700S
- Modern enhancements: includes pitch bend, aftertouch and patch memory for increased versatility
- Compact and portable: lightweight design bundled with a soft case for easy transport
- Iconic look: designed under the supervision of original creator Fumio Mieda, preserving its classic aesthetic
Downsizing MiniKorg 700FS
MiniKorg 700Sm retains all the features of the 2021 MiniKorg 700FS (which was manufactured in very limited quantities) while offering a slimmer keyboard and a size reduced to approximately 86% of the original. Additionally, MiniKorg 700Sm weighs just 12.8 lb., making it easy to transport.
Beautiful synth leads, thick bass – and more
MiniKorg 700 was Korg's first synthesizer, and produced some of the most recognizable, rich and fattest analog sounds of all time. MiniKorg 700Sm features oscillators with a penetrating tone and an authentic recreation of the Traveler controller, a signature element of MiniKorg 700, designed to add extraordinary color and expression to performances. Its sound fits seamlessly in today's music, especially with its standout lead and bass synth tones.
The possibilities as a sub keyboard
MiniKorg 700 was originally designed as a 'sub keyboard,' often placed atop commonly-used 1970s organs to expand their sound palette. MiniKorg 700Sm, with its compact and portable form factor, stands out as a powerful solo instrument but also complements stage keyboards like electric pianos and organs seamlessly. The controls on MiniKorg 700 were laid out below its keys in a row along the front panel, allowing players to easily access them when the instrument was placed on top of an organ. This intuitive layout remains unchanged, offering simplicity, ease of use and a unique look that sets it apart from any other instrument.
Added functionality
When the original MiniKorg 700 was first released, electronic components were larger in size, limiting functionality due to the small space inside. Thanks to advancements in technology, Korg now has room to include a spring reverb as well as a joystick for pitch bend and modulation. The new version also features aftertouch for added expressiveness, as well as an arpeggiator, USB port, MIDI IN connector and a CV/GATE IN jack. Korg also added memory programs to store settings, something that simply wasn't available in the early 1970s!
Traveler controller
Among the defining characteristics of MiniKorg 700 was its Traveler controller, consisting of two stacked horizontal slide pots that adjust cutoff frequencies for the low pass and high pass filters. By moving the levers while playing, wah- and muted-type sound could be created, along with the iconic 'traveling' sound. Vintage models had protrusions on the sliders to prevent silence at their crossing that some players actually filed off in search of new sounds; fortunately, MiniKorg 700FS omits them entirely.
A second oscillator
MiniKorg 700 was a single-oscillator monosynth. MiniKorg 700S, released a year later in 1974, populated some new left-of-keyboard panel real estate with controls for a second oscillator, a ring modulator and more. MiniKorg 700Sm is actually a revival of the 700S model with the expanded functionality and therefore includes two oscillators for detuning and thick, penetrating lead synth sounds.
Includes a made-to-fit soft case
MiniKorg 700Sm comes with a made-to-fit soft case that's handy for taking the instrument wherever you go.
Free music software bundle
MiniKorg 700Sm comes with a diverse variety of music software including Izotope Ozone Elements to create songs and master them using AI, Skoove to help you improve your keyboard playing skills and MiniKorg 700S from Korg Collection, as well as a wide range of software synths from Korg and other developers.
