KORG 770 vintage analog synth

via this auction
"The sound is similar to the 700s and 800dv, with the 770 sitting somewhere in between the two in terms of flexibility. It has a rich 70's tone that is more refined than a Moog or an ARP. The 770's controls are unusual; its oscillators have distinct personalities--one has a "chorus" setting controlled by LFO1, the other has two ring mod settings and "pitched noise". There is also a second LFO for the first oscillator only, and an auto-bend feature. The filter section is amazing, using Korg's own resonant high-pass/low-pass combination. The filters on the 770 have a more organic and rich tone than the filters on the MS-20. The envelope section has switches to multiply the envelope length, making very fast and very slow envelopes possible. And last, but not least, is the external input which allows you to route audio through the filters and the ring modulator. Even as a ring modulator alone this synth is worth the price--it has a glassier tone than the legendary Maestro Ring Mod."
