Korg miniKORG 700Sm
Korg miniKORG 700Sm
The perfect fusion of retro charm and modern technology
The Korg miniKORG 700Sm is a homage to the legendary miniKORG 700, KORG's first monophonic synthesizer from the 1970s. This modern model preserves the characteristic analogue sound of the original while being enhanced with contemporary features to meet the demands of today's musicians.
Compact design and portability
The miniKORG 700Sm is characterised by its compact and lightweight design. By using a Slim-Key keyboard the size has been reduced to about 86% of the original, making the instrument particularly portable. Weighing only 5.8 kg, it is ideal for musicians seeking an easily transportable instrument.
Authentic analogue sound
The true beauty and richness of the miniKORG 700Sm's sounds stem from its authentic analogue circuitry. Rather than relying on digital modelling technology, this instrument reproduces the original analogue sound, prized for its warmth and depth. This was made possible through close collaboration with Fumio Mieda, one of the original developers of the miniKORG 700S.
Powerful sound design
Equipped with two oscillators, the miniKORG 700Sm delivers penetrating and powerful sounds. A standout feature is the authentically recreated Traveler-Controller, which allows performances to be enriched with exceptional colour and expressiveness. In particular, the lead and bass sounds integrate seamlessly into modern music productions.
Versatile applications
Originally conceived as a "sub" keyboard often placed on organs to extend their sonic palette, the miniKORG 700Sm is today equally suited as a versatile solo instrument and as an ideal complement to other keyboards such as electric pianos or organs. Its intuitive control surface provides easy access to all functions, making it an indispensable tool for live performances and studio recordings.
Expanded features
Thanks to modern technology, the miniKORG 700Sm has been equipped with additional features not found on the original. These include a spring reverb, a joystick for Pitchbend and Modulation, aftertouch for added expressiveness, and an arpeggiator. The instrument also offers USB and MIDI IN ports as well as a CV/GATE IN jack, enabling seamless integration into modern setups.
Impressive synth leads, powerful bass sounds and versatile tonal possibilities
The KORG miniKORG 700Sm combines nostalgic character with modern functionality and is therefore the perfect choice for musicians who appreciate authentic analogue tone while also benefiting from contemporary features.
