Korg 707

Korg 707 Image

A good entry level digital synth. It's small in size, simple in its design and offers fairly easy editing. It is a digital FM type synthesizer which makes some very thin and digital but sometimes interesting sounds. The synth engine is similar to the DS-8 without on-board effects. It isn't necessarily useful for any professional work but if you want a lo-fi cheesy digital sound from a toy-like synthesizer then give the 707 a try! It can even be strapped on like a guitar. It is used by Juan Atkins.

Hello! To me the Korg 707 is an underated synth, if you take some time and tweak things on it, you could get some unique stuff! Of course there is some crazy noise too if that's what turns you on. In regards to the 2 people who think, or know, they lost their sounds off their Korg 707--i do have a working card! I use various library computers, so i'm not at home right now, and can't remember the name of the card, I know it's more of a "synth sounds" card. To me, one of the best cards you could load on this board. By the way, these cards are hard to find--- remember this thing IS NOW 21 YEARS OLD!! My e-mail is hugespotsfreak@yahoo.com RICK

i work in music retail, just had a lady bring one in that she had in storage for many years. Sounds very nice, very vintage. Grab it if you can.
