Vintage Korg 770 Analog Synthesizer 1976 SN 770073

via this auction
"This synth is in incredible condition for 42 years old. Cosmetically it has some signs of wear and a hand full of the original knobs have been replaced as you can see in the photos. Everything works. Not only does everything work, I have also retrofitted the synth with a Kenton CV kit so there is cv control over Hz/V, gate, and filter. Sequencing this machines notes and filter is INSANE. You can integrate this with an analog sequencer or kenton midi to cv box (or any other cv source even a korg sq-1). Last year I also had Rosen Sound in Los Angeles install a midiplant so not only can you control the synth via cv, you can also trigger notes via the midi port on the back with a quick flip of a rear toggle switch. I personally still prefer the control and resolution of straight cv. The synth is really incredible and I've sampled more sounds from it than any other instrument I own. Have a listen to some demos on youtube if you aren't familiar. This machine is from another planet. The serial number is 770073 and it was one of the first units produced. Extremely rare. Also including a custom made dust cover."

"This is a vintage Korg 770 analog synthesizer that has been re-housed in a 3U rack enclousure. It powers on, and while VCO1 and the VCF section maintain basic functionality, no other section of the synth is working properly, and the CV inputs do not function at all either."

"This video is just to demonstrate the functions and working order of my Korg 770 analog synthesizer up for sale."
via this auction
"Korg 770 mono-synth in very good condition. Serial#: 770486
It is 100% functional. Every knob, slider and key works flawlessly with no scratchy pots or sticky keys/sliders. Previous owner had it serviced inside and out (5 years ago?) and had cv inputs installed in back. I've never used the cv inputs so I can't speak to how they work, but the owner demonstrated it to me when I bought it and they were functioning just fine. It has a few minor scuffs but nothing major and nothing that inhibits it's functionality. Note: It's missing the silver ring to the portamento knob (see pictures). The video link is my actual synth to demonstrate it all works great for this sale."

"The badassery of the Korg 770 is indisputable. Gnarly, snarling, otherworldly, funk vessel. This one has a few battle scars cosmetically but has been restored internally and sounds amazing. Recapped throughout and many other components replaced. It did have a cv/gate mod installed but it has since been removed. The holes are still in the case and it's easy enough to redo the mod if desired."

Update: Three new videos added to the playlist above for a total of five.
via this auction
"The Korg MaxiKorg 800DV (K-3) is a 44 key monophonic + duophonic analog synthesizer, featuring chorus, auto-bend, portamento, and dual signal paths (functionality of two Korg 770's). Each path features a single oscillator (saw /square /triangle /pulse /chorus /pink-noise waveforms), high and low pass analog filters, AD|R envelope (optionally triggered by a dedicated LFO), and vibrato."

Korg Synthe-Bass SB-100 Analog Synthesizer SN 780343
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Update via Steven Cain in the comments:
"It is actually based off of the MaxiKorg K3 (800DV) from the era. From the same lines as the 700, 700S and 770, the 800DV had an architecture more closely resembling this than any of the other 3 models, mainly in that the controls were set on a faceplate instead of in an organ topping design as the 700 & 700S were. The sliders and switches are the exact same as the 800DV, and if my guess is correct (I have unfortunatly not had the pleasure of playing one) it is in the deep 64' waveform the 800DV offered, a truly floor rattling range, far beyong the standard 32' offered on most synths since."
Original auction description:
"The Sound.
This thing is unbelievably fat. It's a one-oscillator monosynth, but they really do not make them like they used to. It has a smooth but slightly gritty sound all of its own. It does not sound like the syruppy-sweet Roland synths of the same era, and it also does not sound like the MS-20 and other MS-series synths that KORG released starting in 1978. The filter is most likely based either on the MiniKorg 700 or the 770 from the same era. There are five selectable waveforms: Triangle, Square, Saw, Pulse and "Phaser". All of them sound organic, alive and FAT. The Triangle wave seems to have some kind of attack transient at the beginning that gives it a girthy bass kick kind of sound. I suspect the "Phaser" form is either PWM or something similar. How it is achieved is beyond me. I have gigged with it live and it sits very nicely at the bottom of a mix. This thing just oozes power. Additionally, even though the keyboard is only 25 keys (two octaves), the user can select three different octave ranges, extending the full range to five octaves. In the higher range, even though it is a "bass" synth, it gives you a great seventies style prog lead--instant Keith Emerson, should you need it. It can everything from singing lead lines to fat bass plucks to duck farts.
Features.
This is an idiotically simple synth to use (I mean that in the best way possible). There are no modulation routings, no LFO, minimal envelope control. However, the simplicity is actually a strength. There is no setting that sounds bad. The designers really tuned it right--it's one big sweet spot. There is a "Brightness" switch (Resonance) which is either on or off. There is a full "Traveler" (filter cutoff) slider that is usable enough. No mod wheel here, but a couple pitch up and down buttons. It fits in a suitcase style tolex case and it just looks hip. I loved bringing this thing to performances and opening it up and sticking it on a stand. Though envelope controls are few, there is enough control to shape healthy bass sounds.
Additionally, if you are interested in a MIDI retrofit, there is already a place for a 5-pin MIDI socket. As this was created years before MIDI, you might wonder why. It seems that there may have been a plan for a DIN socket for some type of control, so they punched the hole in the housing of these models but then never used it. It is located right beside the power switch.
Condition.
As should be evident from the pictures, the whole tolex case is intact. It features the letters "TGHS" on the front in white. This is most likely from a high school band, and I do not know the origin. Functionally, it is in 100% working order, which still amazes me sometimes as it is 40 years old."

"This is unit is serial #220 & less than 500 of them were ever made.
The sound is one of a kind. It sounds like no other Korg, and I have heard them all. It can get weird, grimy, dirty, growly, and at the same time beautiful and consistently interesting. The character that this synth oozes is very distinct and unique and has a very wide range of sounds.
Everything (all knobs, switches, and sliders) function as it should. I haven't experienced any problems. . ."

"Near mint 9.5/10 Korg 770 monophonic analog 2 VCO synthesizer with added 0-5 V in controlling VCO, Gate and Filter!
This is the predecessor to the MS line and was made in 1975; it has a 12 dB/octave filter and two oscillators. It excels at drones and modulations as it has auto cycle on the envelopes and can be triggered by the LFO. Similar sounds to a MS20 are common, but much easier to come by. This would make a great live synth, I gig with a Roland SH3 and this is almost as much fun by itself.
Note that the "traveler" filter slide pots are designed by Korg to overlap, they are not filed down as earlier 700 models needed for band pass sounds.
Cosmetically 9.5 out of 10! Take a look at these beautiful end cheeks and cute green power light! Has Korg factory five pin interface in back in addition to the added 1/8" CV Gate and Filter jacks which work 0-5 volts, NOT the Korg standard but ARP/Blacet et al. I have triggered this from a Blacet system and it works fine. The Korg interface ALSO works... if you have another 70's Korg and a five pin cable!
US 110 voltage and cord."
