Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the KORG Collection - miniKORG 700s software synthesizer. To help you get the most out of your new instrument, please
read this manual carefully.
Main Features
The miniKORG 700 was KORG’s first mass-produced monophonic synthe-
sizer, which was released in 1973. An improved version, the miniKORG
700S, was released the following year. Using our CMT modeling technol-
ogy, we have recreated the sound of the miniKORG 700S as a software
synthesizer. The engineers that developed this software have made
every effort to adjust the sound in painstaking detail.
This softsynth recreates the thick and penetrating sounds along with the
extreme tonal changes that were characteristic of the miniKORG 700S,
while making many improvements necessary for the softsynth to be
useful in the production of today’s modern music. This softsynth in-
cludes features that were unheard of in the original synth, including
polyphonic sound, the V.Patch (virtual patch), three EGs and LFOs, and
high-quality effects. As this is software-based, this softsynth makes it
possible to create sounds that exceed the limits of what hardware alone
can do. We’ve also given special attention to the user interface on this
softsynth, with a 3D mode that faithfully recreates the original 700S,
and a 2D mode for users who place emphasis on easy editing of sounds
and similar features. In addition to the beautiful lead sounds and fat bass
sounds you expect from the 700S, we hope you enjoy the new sounds
available on this softsynth, all made possible by the new functions that
give you a massive amount of freedom.
