First marketed by Korg synth, synth in the first commercially available general public. Available in France in 1976 or 1977. Price of the era: prs of 5000 F.
Monophonic 3 octaves, no joystick / pitch-bend, no connection, no memory.
2 Oscillator with a PWM (PWM signal square), plus a switchable other white noise, pink noise and ring modulator. The MODEL "700" (without "s") does not have this second oscillator.
2 filters, high pass and low pass, CONTRL is efficient variable frequency drives per switch.
Only LFO sine wave only. CONTRL envelope simple and efficient but not flexible trs.
Effect buttons on / off like bend the attack, coupled envelope / filter, vibrato, etc.. All contrlable amplitude effects.
Hint: HP and LP filters are superimposed on glissires and crossing is empch by Butes (to avoid the disappearance of sound). Your checks trsslectifs spectra for beginners slopes crossing filter, simply remove the buttons (it is the stem of potentiomtres).
UTILIZATION
Limit on certain aspect, the configuration is very simple to understand. The layout of buttons makes it easy to play with one hand and some paramtres Day? At the same time. Obtaining DIFFERENT sounds mature and well fast, especially thanks to the envelope paramtes weird, but that allow for variations in a second deep manipulation. So synthesis of scne, Russia for its era, which today can be a good instrument booster.
SOUNDS
Thanks filters plsu biting than the MS-20 (APRS yet released), it can sound INTERESTED. But the total absence of means of expressiveness (even no pitch bend or joystick) is unfortunate (the era, a no).
The sounds are good for the sounds required, also for percussive sounds (but for this manipulation are less flexible). Note specially for the oscillator which provides normment to n2 "700 S" with his "pink noise" (nothing to do with the sound technicians) is white noise "musicalisquot; perfect for imitating a submarine sonar, but suffers all rglages and provides complments thundering; with as a ring modulator richer than that of MS-20.
OVERALL OPINION
I bought this synth ds its release in 1976, a gossip who thought never come to sell because the public did not know what compltement c'tait a synth. Beginners of a great adventure for me ... I could not keep this synth and if I could I buy a. In some catgories sound and music, it's a good synth.
I apprci its ability to radically change its between three seconds of manipulation, which is not the case with many synth without memory. His current cte (175 E. at 10/3/05) me parat in value. Enjoy.
