KORG合成器的起源在软件中得到了复兴：
miniKORG 700S
20世纪70年代初，市场上出现了许多紧凑型单声道合成器。然而，它们中的大多数主要是由能够负担得起稀有乐器的著名音乐家使用，或者作为学术界的研究设备。KORG希望让普通音乐家有机会体验这种新型乐器。经过多次试验和错误，该公司于1973年宣布推出第一款大规模生产的合成器：miniKORG 700。凭借其简单的外观，掩盖了其产生超乎想象的多样化声音的能力，它吸引了许多喜欢其独特而厚重的音色的音乐家。
miniKORG 700S是第二年发布的带有额外VCO的改进版本，现在已被重新创建为软件仪器。
适用于Mac和Windows的miniKORG 700S是原始模拟硬件的忠实再现，具有只有软件才能实现的强大新功能。
现在，您可以在计算机上享受这款历史悠久的KORG合成器的独特声音和功能。
独特电路的忠实再现
最初的miniKORG 700S是一款2VCO、2VCF、1EG、1LFO单声道合成器。因为合成器不像今天那么常见，所以它的电路是独一无二的。例如，在开发三角波振荡器时，工程师们的目标是创建一个电路，产生优美的音乐声音，而不是科学上准确的声音。
除了振荡器电路，低通和高通滤波器被组合成一个独特的部件，称为旅行者控制器，这是KORG早期合成器的一个显著特征。
与更传统的ADSR风格封套不同，miniKORG700允许用户通过两个滑块控制声音的形状；一个控制攻击时间和衰减时间，一个控制维持水平和释放时间。这些怪癖和其他怪癖都在软件版本中得到了忠实的再现。
The Origin of the KORG Synthesizers is Revived in Software:
miniKORG 700S
At the beginning of the 1970s, many compact monophonic synthesizers appeared on the market. However, most of them were used mainly by famous musicians who could afford rare instruments or as research devices in the academic world. KORG wanted to give the average musician the chance to experience this new type of musical instrument. After much trial and error, the company’s first mass-produced synthesizer was announced in 1973: the miniKORG 700. With a simple appearance that belied its ability to produce diverse sounds beyond imagination, it charmed many musicians who loved its unique and thick tonal quality.
The miniKORG 700S, the improved version with an additional VCO, was announced the next year, and has now been recreated as a software instrument.
The miniKORG 700S for Mac and Windows is a faithful reproduction of the original analog hardware, with powerful new features only possible in software.
Now the unique sounds and capabilities of this historic KORG synthesizer can be enjoyed on your computer.
A Faithful Recreation of Unique Circuitry
The original miniKORG 700S was a 2VCO, 2VCF, 1EG, 1LFO monophonic synthesizer. Because synthesizers were not as common as they are today, its circuitry was unique. For example, when developing the triangle wave oscillator, the engineers aimed to create a circuit that produced a beautifully musical sound rather than a scientifically accurate one.
In addition to the oscillator circuit, the low and high pass filters were combined into a single, unique part called the Traveler Controller, which was a distinctive feature of KORG’s early synthesizers.
Instead of a more traditional ADSR style envelope, the miniKORG700s allows the user to control the shape of the sound with two sliders; one that controls attack time and decay time, and one that controls sustain level and release time. These quirks and more have all been faithfully reproduced in the software version. |
