1974 MiniKorg 700s K2, vintage analog synth for sale in Portland, Oregon - Demo 2 MIDI Bach BWV 565

2. 1974 MiniKorg 700s K2, vintage analog synth for sale in Portland, Oregon - Demo 2 MIDI Bach BWV 565

This is Demo 2 (2 of 2 videos) highlighting the sound and character of the 700s / K2 synthesizer in action, and showing the external control of DAW, via MIDI, into a MIDI-to-CV convertor, connected to the CV inputs on the back side of the 700s. The MIDI songs has multiple organ and harpsichord tracks. The MIDI output to the 700s is one of the main tracks for this piece, panned to the RIGHT side of the stereo field, to help discern the 700s sound. The point of this video is to show the capability of DAW control, given all the external hardware interfaces, which comes with the sale of the 700s as one package.

This 1974 MiniKorg K2 / 700s works and sounds great. It has the Kenton CV upgrade, a hardshell case, and I’m throwing in a Kenton Pro Solo Mk2 MIDI-to-CV converter, a USB to 2-ch MIDI convertor, long USB cable.

Everything works great and is ready for any modern studio DAW, or adaptation to your external MIDI capable hardware!

The Kenton CV upgrade “3 socket” kit has three 3.5mm ports (easily interfaces with modular synthesis architecture!) or a MIDI-to-CV convertor (which I am including for free with this sale). The 3 inputs are: CV (pitch in), GATE (note on/off), FILT (filter control).

The synth has been with me for about 14 years. I serviced vintage synth and pro-audio gear for the last 30+ years, and this was one that I restored, upgraded, used for recording, and cared for. Every key contact works great, all adjustments have been calibrated, it stays in tune, and every feature works."

Ukulele and Keyboards - Fade To Grey

"Fin pops round to see Geishy and does "Fade to Grey". Originally recorded by Visage in November 1980.

Filmed on location in Geishy's basement with subsequent backing bits added back in the comfort of the shed. Special thanks to Hazel for doing the French voiceover.

Surface One - NAMM Vaporware from the Past

spotted this one on Analog Industries. It's the Surface One from Midiman, "a virtual control surface that is completely user-configurable. The basic elements (or objects) that the user manipulates consist of virtual channels, buttons, and knobs. Any object on Surface One is programmable and can transmit any message communicable via MIDI (including volume changes, note on/off, alterations to any parameters, program changes, etc).

Surface One utilizes a fiber optic-based touch-sensitive material as its primary interface. This smart fabric, originally developed by the Canadian Space Agency and now licensed by Tactex, transmits the information it receives through touch so it may be converted into MIDI and sent out of Surface One to control MIDI-compatible devices." It was shown at NAMM 2001. You can read the full release on Harmony Central.

Update via BirdFLU in the comments: "Musician's Friend had these for sale on their web site for about a year for $700. Stock status was always listed as "Coming Soon." They also had changed the color scheme to a more pleasing silver box with blue touch sensors."
