Vintage Synth Explorer

Outstanding synth, people who don't like it simply doesn't know how to use it.
Both wild and smooth, he can do any sound, great for industrial.... and disco !

years ago,I bought an arp axxe and the korg 770 from somone, later I decided to sell the korg770 because it was NOT that great sounding, After a while I got bored with the axxe and sold that(mistake!) But after seeing the way old synth prices climbed over the years,I should have kept em both ! I remember when an original minimoog costed $700,now they're $4000 ! I bought a TB303 for $300,now they're about $2000 ! I know the korg 770 is NOT nearly as popular as a moog and the likes but the Korg770 is still usefull, its still a clasic,its got some cool features,ring mod,external input. And it WAS used by some well known artists too. So honestly, if somome was selling one for $1500 I really would not be surprised today. These days a lot of people use the same computer programs and a lot of stuff has a typical sound and quality, back in the days of old equiptment(like the korg770) each piece had its own caracter,that's my opinion. Keep you're REAL gear! Especially analog.

The Mini-Korg 700S is the "Warm Leatherette" synth, not the 770.

How can you fail to mention that this is the "Warm Leatherette" synth? Daniel Miller, Silicon Teens, The Normal, Depeche Mode etc..

Aside from having good oscillator stability and rugged construction, this was the worst synthesizer Ive ever owned out of 50+ in my career. Thin and weak even with the decent traveler filter arrangement. Only 32 keys? The mini korg was much better. After seeing a recent ebay posting for 1500$ + [beep] ? Seller should be ashamed. Rare and rare for all the right reasons..
