Synthesizer demo of the digital “performing synthesizer“ Korg 707 from 1987.
I used an original Korg SDD-3000 for delay effects and a Lexicon MPX-500 for reverb effects. In the intro music, the Korg 707 was played along with a Dynacord EC 280 analog delay. All the sounds were programmed by me.
The Korg 707 is a digital synthesizer based on Yamaha’s FM (frequency modulation) synthesis. Forerunner of the Korg M1 optical design. It has a “performance editor“ containing parameter sliders which allow sound tweaks in realtime - this is a great feature! Unlike the similar Korg DS-8, you can store the tweaked sounds. MIDI multimode. Fat unisono mode, layer and split capabilities. It can be used as a remote keyboard with a guitar strap and it can run on batteries. Very well playable keybed, clearly borrowed from Yamaha. it’s capable of some excellent (but not too complex) digital sounds! I love its sound, design and feel!
