Introduction Thank you for purchasing the KORG Collection - miniKORG 700s software synthesizer. To help you get the most out of your new instrument, please read this manual carefully.

Main Features The miniKORG 700 was KORGs first mass-produced monophonic synthe- sizer, which was released in 1973. An improved version, the miniKORG 700S, was released the following year. Using our CMT modeling technol- ogy, we have recreated the sound of the miniKORG 700S as a software synthesizer. The engineers that developed this software have made every effort to adjust the sound in painstaking detail.

This softsynth recreates the thick and penetrating sounds along with the extreme tonal changes that were characteristic of the miniKORG 700S, while making many improvements necessary for the softsynth to be useful in the production of todays modern music. This softsynth in- cludes features that were unheard of in the original synth, including polyphonic sound, the V.Patch (virtual patch), three EGs and LFOs, and high-quality effects. As this is software-based, this softsynth makes it possible to create sounds that exceed the limits of what hardware alone can do. Weve also given special attention to the user interface on this softsynth, with a 3D mode that faithfully recreates the original 700S, and a 2D mode for users who place emphasis on easy editing of sounds and similar features. In addition to the beautiful lead sounds and fat bass sounds you expect from the 700S, we hope you enjoy the new sounds available on this softsynth, all made possible by the new functions that give you a massive amount of freedom.

Edit the Tone of the Synthesizer Now, lets try editing sounds on the miniKORG700s Software synthesizer.

Using the Traveler controller The Traveler is a type of tone controller that controls how much over- tone to apply. This controller is designed so that the upper-side slider cuts higher overtones than the slider position, and the lowerside slider cuts lower overtones than the slider position. Combining these functions produces a tone that emphasizes overtones between the upper-side and lower-side sliders.

TIP If you minutely move the slider from left to right while performing, it will create a tremolo effect. If you move the slider significantly, it will produce a swelling sound. If you move the slider synchronously with keying, wah and mute effects will be created.

Attack control and percussion The attack control is used to adjust the rising time of the sound using the slider. The percussion/singing control is used to adjust the tone decay after producing a sound, using the slider.

Using the arpeggiator This instrument has an arpeggiator function. To set the arpeggiator,

follow the procedure described below.

1. Switch the ARP switch on the front panel to ON.

2. In ARPEGGIATOR MODE, select the arpeggiator type. Arpeggiator types

UP: The arpeggio goes up from the lowest note you play to the highest note, and repeats. DOWN: The arpeggio goes down from the highest note you play to the lowest one, and repeats. ALT1: The arpeggio goes up from the lowest note you play to the highest note, and then goes back down. ALT2: Both the highest and lowest notes played in ALT1 play twice. RANDOM: The notes you play will sound in random order. SINGLE: The last note you play is played repeatedly (same as the original synth). MANUAL: The arpeggio plays in the order that you played the keys.

3. In ARPEGGIATOR RANGE, select the range over which the arpeg- giator sounds.

14

Saving a sound Save the sounds you create, so that you can recall them anytime.

1. Press the Save As button on the header.

2. Edit the name of your sound in the dialog shown. Enter the program name. The tags can be changed.

3. Select the folder (directory) where you want to save the sound.

4. Last, press the Save button.

15

Parameter Guide

MAIN

Front panel 1. VOLUME slider

Used to adjust the overall volume.

When the switches on the front panel are moved down, the functions are turned on, and when the slider are moved down, effects become more pronounced.

2. TRAVELER slider You can create desired tones by combining operations of the two sliders. The upper-side slider works as a low-pass filter, and the lower-side slider works as a high-pass filter. You can create original traveling sounds in addition to wah and mute by moving the slider from side to side while holding down keys.

3. ATTACK/SLOW slider Used to adjust the sound rising time. You can flexibly control a sound from a sharp rising sound to a gentle sound.

4. PERCUSSION/SINGING slider Used to adjust the attenuation after producing a sound. The tone is continuously changed in the range from percussive sounds to long organ-like sounds.

5. SCALE selector Used to switch the 5-octave range with one touch.

6. VOICES button

16

VOICE MODE: Specifies how notes are produced. MONO: Play monophonically. LEGATO: Play monophonically. The EG is not retriggered by

the second or subsequent keystroke if you continue holding down the previous key.

POLY: Play polyphonically. VOICES: Specifies the maximum polyphony. ANALOG: Controls the amount of randomness applied to the oscilla- tor pitch and the filter cutoff frequency at each note-on. UNISON: Specifies the number of unison voices used when playing polyphonically.

note The maximum polyphony when playing polyphonically depends on TOTAL and UNISON. The actual maximum polyphony will be the TOTAL value divided by the UNISON value.

DETUNE: Specifies the detuning (pitch difference) between simulta- neously-sounded voices when you use UNISON to play multiple voices in unison. SPREAD: Spreads the voices between the left and right channels when you use UNISON to play multiple voices in unison. If the UNISON setting is odd-numbered, only one voice will be located in the center. PITCH BEND RANGE: Specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you operate the joystick wheel or the pitch bender of a MIDI controller connected to your computer. This setting specifies the pitch change that will occur when the pitch bender is operated all the way in the positive (+) direction.

7. MODE selector Used to switch the basic waveform of the oscillator (VCO1). Triangle wave: This is a basic waveform with few overtones and a mellifluous tone. Rectangular wave: This waveform is suitable for an electronic tone and wind instrument tone. Sawtooth wave: This waveform is suitable for a variety of instru- ment sounds, including many overtones. CHORUS I: This tone produces the effect of overlapping sounds with the pulse with modulation. CHORUS II: This tone produces the strong chorus effect with a faster LFO than CHORUS I.

8. EXPAND switch Used to add changes to the cutoff frequency of the Traveler when emitting a sound. The tone changes over time depending on the settings of the ATTACK/SLOW slider and the PERCUSSION/SINGING slider.

9. BRIGHT switch Used to increase the resonance level. The harmonic overtones near the cutoff frequency of the Traveler are emphasized, and the sound becomes brighter.

10. SUSTAIN switch Used to sustain the sound even after a key is released.

11. BENDER switch Used to obtain a bending effect. This function is effective for tones such as human voices and whistling.

17

12. VIBRATO switch Used to turn the vibrato effect on or off.

13. DELAY VIB. switch Used to apply vibrato a short while later after keying. This switch is effective when you want to make the instrument sing.

14. PORTAMENTO switch Used to turn on or off the portamento effect that smoothly changes the tone when moving to the next key.

15. ARP switch This gives you the same effect as if you had played the keys repeat- edly. When you play more than one key at a time, this functions as an arpeggiator.

16. ARPEGGIATOR MODE: Specifies how steps advance when the arpeggiator plays. BPM SYNC: If this is ON, the arpeggiator will synchronize to the tempo of Legacy Cells TEMPO controller (when operating in Legacy Cell stand-alone mode) or the tempo of the host application (when operating as a plug-in). KEY SYNC: If this setting is ON, the arpeggiator will be reset at each note-on. LATCH: Specifies whether the arpeggiator will continue playing even after note-off occurs. RANGE: Specifies the range in which the arpeggiator will play the pattern. SPEED: This determines the resolution of the arpeggio pattern when TEMPO SYNC is ON.

If TEMPO SYNC is ON, one cycle of the arpeggio pattern will equal the note value you select for BASE NOTE (at the synchronized tempo) multiplied by the TIMES specified by the SPEED/TIMES knob.

17. VIBRATO SPEED slider: Used to adjust the vibrato speed. Natural vibrato is obtained in the center. DEPTH slider: Used to adjust the vibrato depth. Natural vibrato is obtained in the center.

18. PORTAMENTO slider You can extensively adjust the strength of portamento ranging from natural portamento to sound effects.

19. PITCH slider Used to perform master tuning of the main unit. A=440Hz is ob- tained in the center.

18

Top panel

VCO2 1. BALANCE slider

Used to adjust the balance between the sound (VCO1) on the front

panel side and the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side. If the slider is set to the minimum value, only the sound (VCO1) on the front panel side is produced. If the slider is set to the maximum value, only the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side is produced.

2. PITCH slider (COARSE, FINE) The COARSE slider can change the pitch on the top panel side (VCO2) over two octaves. The FINE slider, which has a small variable range, is used for regular tuning.

3. VCO2mode selector Used to switch the overlapping between the sound (VCO1) on the

front panel side and the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side. DUET: Used to add the sound (VCO1) on the front panel side and the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side. You can obtain deep sounds such as unison, third, and fifth using the PITCH slider. MODULATOR 1: Used to obtain the effects of the ring modulator by combining the sound (VCO1) on the front panel side and the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side You can create various sounds ranging from chime, Chinese gong, and gamelan to SFX sounds. MODULATOR 2: This is a ring modulator that has a different octave from MODULATOR 1. MODULATOR 3: Used to produce different tones and random scales from 37 keys without following the keyboard. NOISE 1: Used to produce a noise with the musical scale. This function can be used independently. In addition, you can create various tones by appropriately mixing with the sound on the front panel side. NOISE 2: Used to produce a noise without the musical scale. The tone can be changed using the Traveler. You can create various sound effects such as wind and waves.

4. EFFECT switch Turn this switch on to mix the sound (VCO2) on the top panel side.

5. SUSTAIN LONG switch Turn this switch on to decuple the tone attack, percussion, or sustain time. This function is available for special effects.

6. TRAVEL VIBRATO switch Turning this switch on produces the same effects as the vibrato that is obtained by wagging the Traveler control slider to the left and right by hand.

19

7. Joystick For pitch control, move the joystick left and right. For modulation control, move it back and forth.

Scale Settings

Root Key This parameter specifies the tonic or root key for the scale selected in SCALE TYPE.

Scale Type Use this parameter to select the scale type (temperament). Equal Temp: This is the most commonly used scale. Each semitone is spaced at an equal distance from the others (equal temperament). Equal Temp Random Pitch: A random pitch deviation is applied to equal temperament each time a note-on occurs. Pure Major: In this scale, the principle major chords in the selected key will be perfectly harmonious (pure major temperament). Pure Minor: In this scale, the principle minor chords in the selected key will be perfectly harmonious (pure minor temperament). User 112: You can create twelve of your own customized user scales.

User Scale To create a User Scale, begin by selecting one of the User Scales in

SCALE TYPE. Next, simply adjust the pitch of each note of in the octave. These settings are saved automatically. You can recall your User Scale at any time by selecting it using the SCALE TYPE parameter. You can adjust each note of the octave (C-B) in a range of -99 through +99 cents. These adjustments are relative to the equal tempered pitch (0). A setting of +99 raises the pitch approximately one semitone above the standard pitch. A setting of - 99 lowers the pitch approximately one semitone below the standard pitch.

note You can't make USER SCALE settings when SCALE is set to Equal Temp, Equal Temp Random Pitch, Pure Major, or Pure Minor.

Troubleshooting Please check the following points if you experience problems.

No sound Have you made the appropriate settings in the [MENU] [Audio/

MIDI Settings]? Is the Master Level or any other volume-related parameters set to 0? Is your computer set to produce sound?

If youre using Windows, open the Control Panel and check [Sound and Audio Device Properties].

If youre using macOS, check [System Settings] [Sound] and Applica- tion folder Utility folder [Audio MIDI Settings] [Audio Devices].

If youre using your computers sound card, is the sound card set up

correctly? If youve connected an audio device to your computer, is the audio

device set up so that sound is being output from it?

The sound has clicks, pops, or noise You may experience clicks, pops, or noise if your computers CPU is experiencing a heavy load. If you are having this type of problem, try the following. If other applications are running, close them. Reduce the maximum polyphony of the synthesizer youre using. In the [MENU] [Audio/MIDI Settings], increase the audio buffer

size. However, increasing this too much will also increase the latency (delay before you hear sound).

Sound is delayed Latency is determined by the number of samples x the number of

buffers. In the [MENU] [Audio/MIDI Settings], set the Audio buffer size and the Sample rate to the lowest setting that still allows stable operation.

36

Cant control the software synthesizer from a MIDI device connected to the computer Are your computer and MIDI device connected correctly? Is the connected MIDI device detected by your computer?

If youre using Windows, open the Control Panel and check [Sound and Audio Device Properties] [Hardware]. If youre using macOS, open the Application folder Utility folder [Audio MIDI Settings] [MIDI Device], and make sure that your MIDI device is detected.

Are the correct settings made in the [MENU] [Audio/MIDI Settings]?
