The specialist's opinion
The Korg miniKORG 700Sm is a tribute to the sound of the iconic miniKORG 700, the very origin of Korg's analog synthesizer history while providing the improvements needed by today's musicians.
Released in 2021, the miniKORG 700FS was a flamboyant reissue of the legendary miniKORG 700S analog synthesizer from the 1970s, enhanced with additional features not available in the original.
The miniKORG 700FS was so popular that its limited production run quickly sold out, creating significant demand.
Korg has a great history with revolutionary analog Synthesizers, and has recently gained recognition for faithfully reproducing some of the rarest and most sought-after models. The miniKORG 700Sm is a tribute to the sound of the iconic miniKORG 700, the very origin of Korg's analog synthesizer history while providing the improvements needed by today's musicians.
Sizing down the miniKORG 700FS
The new 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 around 86% of the original. As for weight, the miniKORG 700Sm weighs just 5.8 kg, making it easy to carry around.
The essentials of an analog Synthesizer
The beauty and richness of the sounds produced by the miniKORG 700 cannot be achieved by analog modeling technology, which uses computational ICs such as DSPs or other devices to model analog circuits.
While it is possible to reproduce a circuit using the same parts and copying the design schematics or PCB, there is no guarantee that this will reproduce the original sound. In fact, components deteriorate over time, considerably altering the sound. To faithfully recreate the original sound, we have to rely on the experience and memories of the technicians who worked on the original instrument.
Korg has been able to bring the original sound back to life thanks to its team of technicians, who have acquired invaluable expertise over the years working on numerous Synthesizer reissue projects. This team was guided by the legendary Fumio Mieda, a KORG engineer since the early 1970s and one of the designers of the original miniKORG 700S.
Working closely with Korg's sound designers, they meticulously reproduced the original sound as faithfully as possible... We hope that those who play the miniKORG 700Sm will experience it as an authentic, magnified recreation of the original.
Beautiful Leads, thick Bass and more
The miniKORG 700 was KORG's first synthesizer and produced some of the most recognizable, richest and boldest analog sounds of all time.
The new miniKORG 700Sm features penetrating-sounding oscillators and an authentic recreation of the Traveler controller - a signature feature of the miniKORG 700 - designed to add extraordinary color and expression to performances.
Its sound blends perfectly with today's music, particularly thanks to its remarkable bass and lead sounds.
Software bundle offered
The miniKORG 700Sm comes with a wide variety of music software, including Izotope (with "Ozone Elements" that lets you not only create songs but also master them using AI), "Skoove" that will help you improve your keyboard playing skills, "miniKORG700S" from KORG Collection software, as well as a wide range of software Synthesizers from KORG and other developers.
