"About the Univox MiniKorg -
The Univox Minikorg (Mini-Korg) Monophonic Musical Synthesizer was built by Univox around 1973 (that makes it 35 years old and in perfect working condition!! Talk about vintage!!).
The Minikorg is an exact replica of the Korg 700.
This is a great analog synth that can make some of the most amazing sounds!
This synthesizer goes back to the days of real analog like Moog, Roland, Oberheim, Sequential Circuits, EMS synths, and more!
Of course there is no CV/Gate to be controlled by any other synth, however, if you would like, I could add a MIDI kit that would allow it to connect for $350 more. The kit requires a separate circuit board that allows perfect control over triggering and notes. I could do an easier mod and apply a socket kit and connect a MIDI kit through that but from what I heard the circuit board makes it more reliable and stable.
Many softsynth programs have tried to emulate the sound of an analog (analogue) synth but nothing beats an original! The tone is thick and the bass is heavy. There are many potential sounds that can be made. I have supplied a small variety for you to hear.
I don't believe there were that many of these made or still around and if anything, this keyboard is nearly 35 years old!
Along the front panel are all the controls. Starting from left to right along the bottom, Volume, 2 Travelers (these control the filter operations), Attack (how fast the note sounds), Percussion (how long the note lasts), Scale (32'-2'), Mode (waveform - ramp, square, saw, chorus 1, chorus2), Expand, Bright, Sustain, Bender, Repeat (keeps repeating the note as the key is pressed), Vibrato, Delay Vibrato (auto-delayed vibrato), Portamento, slider for Repeat speed, Vibrato sliders for Speed and Depth amounts, Power switch, Pitch (brings the pitch tune up or down manually).
On the back is a door which conceals the power cord and fuse access. There are also two jacks, one is labelled low and the other is labelled high (these are the outputs)."
"'AMK' is a modular sound toy for preschool children. In interaction with the cfomputer, single sounds and entire sets can be transferred to sound blocks, called 'Klnagbausteine'. The children can independently play and combine the sounds through plugging these blocks. Only one sound per block and age-based limited possibiliteis of sound modification afford a plain game and offers the children an orientation within the own system."

"i picked up a 5-octave fatar keybed and MKE electronics from doepfer via analog haven. he carries 2-5 octave bare keybeds with simple channel/octave controls, all fatar (the highest quality italian-made keybeds you can get…and doepfer is the ONLY place you can order a keybed from fatar without being a manufacturer). the 8 knobs and faders are the doepfer PKE, a super simple plug and play solution that could have been a midibox or arduino. add a edirol midi>usb cable, usb hub, and multi-voltage power supply and i’ve got one power plug, one usb port, and midi out to drive hardware synths. i’ve left room in the enclosure for a mac mini (or small form factor pc or linux box)…but that’ll be a stretch of my willpower to get it done."
