The First Synthesizer Ever Made In Japan, Remade: miniKORG 700FS Monophonic Synthesizer

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Tom Butcher of Patchwerks takes us on a deep dive of the Korg700FS, a beautifully crafted mono synthesizer.

Back To The Future:
a limited edition authentic revival of the miniKORG 700.
The miniKORG 700 was KORG’s first mass-produced monophonic synthesizer released in 1973 at a time when the form of synthesizers as musical instruments had not been fully established. After a lot of experimentation the miniKORG 700 arrived bringing the world of synthesizers to a wide group of users by offering simple operations that could producing extreme changes in sound, and was championed by a strong base of admiring musicians.

The miniKORG 700FS is an authentic revival of the miniKORG 700S, (an improved version of the miniKORG 700) that was released the following year. The revised miniKORG 700FS offers added functionality such as an arpeggiator, spring reverb and aftertouch. The miniKORG 700FS is a fully-realized analog synthesizer that was developed in conjunction with the original designer, Fumio Mieda.

Korg miniKORG 700FS Review - A Sound Designers Thoughts.

video upload by GEOSynths

"Originally issued in 1974, the 700S was the 2nd in Family, with the 700 being released the year prior. The 700S had an extra Oscillator and an added Ring Modulator with a variety of settings.

Korg have painstakingly crafted the limited edition re-issue, however they've added some great new features, such as Patch Storage, Spring Reverb and the ability to record all the Knobs, Sliders and Switches over USB Midi.

It also comes in a beautiful styled Case and lets face it, you've never going to get a Vintage in this condition and with a warranty."

"As part of my Review, I've put together a Full Track using ONLY the miniKORG 700FS for everything. I created the Drums and Percussion from 3 Patches I made, then sampled them into Maschine. I then created a variety of different Patches and tracked them into Logic.

I usually include this in the Review but decided to do it separately and add some pretty Shots of the Korg miniKORG 700FS."

"The Korg miniKORG 700FS preserves the originals unique voicing of the 700S, and delivers current-day functionality to create a timeless design. This synth is always sold-out and in such high demand, so don't hesitate if you want it because you may never see it in a shop.

miniKORG 700FS - Quick Demo

video upload by ltpstan

"A quick demo on the new miniKORG 700FS with Kitaro Signature Sounds.
This version is true to Original miniKORG 700S, the distorted 'Triangle' wave is heard here.
The filter compared to the KORG 800DV is much resonant and aggressive. After hearing it myself, the miniKORG 700FS has a more 'Quirky' filter than the 800DV.

KORG miniKORG 700FS (2021) Limited Release Demos by Y.O.P. channel

"The "miniKORG 700S" released in the 1970s was reprinted by KORG in a limited production. I got it, so I made a review video immediately.
This synthesizer was the "first synthesizer" I first encountered when I was in high school. The feelings I wanted at that time will come true now! Thank you Korg.
I think it's a very attractive instrument, such as "It's a genuine analog synth that isn't found in recent digital synths." "At the same time, it has features that couldn't be realized in the 1970s." ..

This instrument looks very small, but it's heavy enough to slip out! !!

A toast to the revival of a famous machine that will throw a stone in the way musical instruments should be!"

Note this playist includes some extra videos, but primarily featured the miniKORG 700FS at the time of this post.

"Why revive the miniKORG 700 now?

The real beauty and awesomeness of the sounds produced by the miniKORG 700 could not be realized through analog modeling technology that uses computational integrated circuitry such as DSPs and other devices to model analog circuitry. And although KORG continues to produce analog synthesizers such as the prologue, the minilogue and many others, we recognize that these instruments owe their existence to the miniKORG 700.

While theoretical know how is important when designing analog circuitry, deep experience is also required to understand what the results will actually be once the circuitry is completed. Ten years have passed since the monotron, a next-generation analog product from 2010 was developed by young KORG engineers and analog enthusiasts. It took some time for the full vision of these engineers to be explored and delivered but at last we’ve finally arrived – at the start.

Our wish is for customers to experience the beauty and awesomeness of the authentic analog sound through the miniKORG 700FS designed by the KORG analog engineers under the supervision of Fumio Mieda, who designed the original circuitry, ensuring that the elements that go beyond the circuit schematics would be faithfully represented.
