Additionally, the miniKORG 700Sm weighs only 5.8 KG, making it more convenient to transport. Launched in 2021, the \u003cstrong\u003eminiKORG 700FS\u003c\/strong\u003e was an extraordinary reimagining of the legendary 1970s miniKORG 700S analog synthesizer, enhanced with additional features not available in the original. The limited production run quickly sold out, creating strong demand for greater availability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKorg has a long history of producing \u003cstrong\u003eanalog synthesizers\u003c\/strong\u003e, and in recent years, it has excelled in faithfully reproducing some of the rarest and most sought-after models. The \u003cstrong\u003eminiKORG 700Sm\u003c\/strong\u003e pays homage to the sound of the iconic miniKORG 700, the very origin of Korg's analog synthesizer history, enhanced here to meet the needs of today's musicians. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Essential Elements of an Analog Synthesizer \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe true beauty and richness of the sounds produced by the miniKORG 700 could not be achieved through analog modeling technologies that use computational integrated circuits such as DSPs and other devices to simulate analog circuits. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is possible to replicate a circuit using the same parts and copying design schematics or printed circuit boards, this does not guarantee the reproduction of the original sound, as components deteriorate over time, drastically altering the sound. To faithfully recreate the original sound, we relied on the experience and memory of the engineers who had worked on the original product. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to our team of engineers, who gained valuable experience over the years working on numerous projects to reintroduce historical synthesizers to the market, we were able to bring the original sound back to life. This team was led by the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eFumio Mieda\u003c\/strong\u003e: a KORG engineer from the 1970s and one of the designers of the original miniKORG 700S. Working closely with KORG's \u003cstrong\u003esound designers\u003c\/strong\u003e, they meticulously reproduced the original sound as faithfully as possible. We hope that anyone who plays the \u003cstrong\u003eminiKORG 700Sm\u003c\/strong\u003e will consider it an authentic and beautifully crafted recreation of the original. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrilliant Leads, Powerful Bass – and More \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe miniKORG 700 was KORG's first synthesizer and produced some of the most identifiable, rich, and powerful analog sounds of all time.
