The Korg Minikorg 700s has a unique filter setup with separate high-pass and low-pass controls, plus envelope depth. Its 'bright' switch adds resonance, and a sustain switch offers long decay options. A classic synth with a distinct voice! #Synth #Korg #MusicGear

The Korg Minikorg 700s boasts two unique chorus waveforms, Chorus 1 and Chorus 2. Chorus 1 offers a chunky pulse-width modulation sound, while Chorus 2 provides a deeper, faster effect Despite limited controls, it delivers all the essential sounds. #Korg #Minikorg #Synth

Exploring the Korg Minikorg 700s: from deep sine waves with surprising brightness to chunky pulse width modulation and richer chorus effects. Discover its unique sonic textures. #Korg #Minikorg700s #Synth

The 1973 MiniKorg 700 features controls that run along the bottom, suggesting it was designed to sit atop a piano with chrome-effect controls and pinball-like switches. #MusicGear #Synthesizers

Legendary Korg engineer Fumio Maeda designed the MS-20 and PS-3300. His Minikorgs, though compact and affordable, powered '70s electronic hits like 'Warm Leatherette' and 'Messages'. Proof that great music doesn't need complex synths. #SynthHistory #MusicTech

Korg's journey from rhythm machines in 1962 to the groundbreaking Minikorg 700S in 1974. Hear the synth of the month and discover the legacy of Fumio Maeda, the designer behind legendary synths like the MS-20. #SynthHistory #Korg #MusicTech

Discoveries continue after the main Sonic State 5 Minutes With! Check out the extended session for more insights. #Synth #MusicTech

Discovering a synth's hidden depths! MIDI velocity can modulate envelope time and level. Envelope B isn't just an envelope; it's an LFO with burst mode. Plus, explore sample and hold units. So much more than meets the eye! #SynthTips #MusicProduction

This synth is incredible! Even if I don't get gas often, I feel like I need it now. It's dreadful for me not to have it. #MusicGear #Synthesizer

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

Navigating this synth is like an ant on the moon – immense flexibility, soft/hard sync, FM, and more. Still exploring its depths! #Synth #MusicTech

This is the Behringer Cat! Thanks for watching. #Behringer #Cat

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

This synth, while monophonic, can achieve surprising polyphonic textures. The ring modulator can create a phantom third oscillator, and the fold function adds creamy, dynamic modulation. Dive into its expressive sound design. #Synth #MusicProduction #SoundDesign

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

The Behringer Cat, a faithful recreation of the late 70s/early 80s Octave Cat, sounds absolutely wonderful. While it has a couple of missing features and potential reliability questions, it offers MIDI and MIDI thru, unlike the original #Synth #MusicGear

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

This two-oscillator synth with a sub oscillator is pure magic. Even without patching, the wave-folded sine wave from VCO A creates classic sounds. Effects? Almost unnecessary, but addictive! #Synth #MusicTech

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

The Behringer Cat is a standalone synth, but its LFO is a major limitation. It can't be synced, re-triggered, or controlled via voltage, making it impossible to integrate with other gear. Good luck getting it in sync with anything else! #Synth #MusicGear

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

Modulating rise and fall times with an LFO? Why not! Adding subtle modulation to the envelope can create dynamic depth. Envelope A is hardwired to the VCA for immediate impact. #SynthTips #SoundDesign

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

Exploring the Behringer Cat: modulation, VCOs, and essential Eurorack-compatible outputs like keyboard CV, gate, and ADSR. Plus, filter cutoff and Q control are bloody excellent! #Synth #MusicTech

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

Modulate your filter with LFOs and envelope generators for dynamic sound design. Adjust rise and fall times to fine-tune your audio, creating everything from snappy to smooth textures. #SoundDesign #MusicProduction

[Battery Operated Orchestra (BOO) @booelectric]

Sample and hold circuits often mistrigger due to noise. This one works flawlessly, even with subtle envelope and LFO adjustments. Hear the difference when triggering ADSR and bringing up modulation sample and hold into the filter. #SynthGear #ModularSynth
