•Two Built-in Oscillators
Only the KORG 770 and MINI-KORG 700 Sin
this range of synthesizers have two built-in os-
cillators. Two tones can be obtained simulta-
neously not only having different colors but also
having different pitches. In addition, it can pro-
duce sound with colors at intervals of the major
third and perfect fifth and percussion sounds of
bells, gongs, etc. With rich nonintegrated har-
monics by using a RING MODULATOR.
•Accurate Tone Pitch
Most instruments of this type may, in some cases,
give such an image that asynthesizer is too un-
stable to produce good quality and,accurate pitch.
However, the KORG Synthesizer -ian be played
with accurate pitch as soon as? th«j pgwer swi-
tch is turned ON. So far this, essergjal require-
ment has been satisfied by onlyjK&afay models.
•External Input Jack ., ..jjj i\
An input jack is provided fpr cohn'ecjing an eleW
trie guitar, electronic 'piano, voice* of another syn-
thesizer. Variations and changes of tone Jjjplor
can therefore be obtained by passing these sounds
through the circuitry of the VCF, the ENVE-
LOPE GENERATOR and the RING MODULA-
TOR and/or combining them with PINK NOISE,
WHITE NOISE, etc.

Listen to a radio or television set, and you will
find that synthesizer music is generally used not
only in music programs but also as background
music for TV and as drama accompaniments. You
could say that we are surrounded by synthesized
sound.
Why are synthesizers used so often ?This is
because synthesizers are capable of imitating the
sounds of other instruments and also creating uni-
que sounds that have never been realized by any
musician. Described below .are the fundamental
components of a synthesizer,, the knowledge of which
is essential in order to use the instrument at its
best.

External input jack is available up to 1voltage peak to peak.
In order to make better signal ratio set the input as near at
1voltage peak to peak as possible.
When you use lower output voltage input signal such as
microphone or electric guitar, use pre or booster amplifier.

Adjust the pitch for tuning with
other instruments.
•OCTAVE- -Turn the OCTAVE knob, depressing
akey. It has five control steps, the
tone varying by one octave for each.
With its F-scale 32 keys, two and a
half octaves combined the synthesizer
actually covers atone range equi-
valent to 92 keys, 7and ahalf oc-
taves.
•MODE Turn the MODE knob and the OC-
TAVE knob simultaneously while
playing asimple melody. You will
then learn the characteristic of
each wave form.

EXT.INPUT
The fundamental component of
harmonics is rich and provide a
pure and clear sound.
Most appropriate for creating
sounds in the flute family or a
clear sound color similar to a
tuning fork.
Since there are few harmonics,
the Traveler Control effective
direction is not particularly ex-
treme.
Provides closed-pipe sounds (cla-
rinet, etc.) by removing even-num-
bered harmonics.
Since this basic tone contains
many harmonics and is sufficient-
ly large, it is suitable for creat-
ing awide range of tone colors.
Its versatility can be expanded
by combining the Traveler Cont-
rol to create string, wind, picked
string and human voice effects,
plus many others.
Higher harmonic elements abound
in this waveform, making use of
the Traveler Control highly effec-
tive, especially for creating reed
sounds or all new synthetic tone
colors.
The effect produced when two in-
struments are played simultane-
ously can be obtained. Using the
LFO speed knob adjust the beat
to obtain the difference in pitch
of two tones. Accordion and simi-
lar sounds can then be easily
produced.
Use this position when an electric
guitar, an electric piano or an-
other synthesizer, etc. is connect-
ed to the external input jack at
the rear.

and with R. MODULATOR II, random tone

•SCALE NOISE
Provides sound that it is possible to vary by
intervals. Change the pitch of the sound using
the PITCH knob.
•PINK NOISE
Provides anoise without any high-frequency
component.
•WHITE NOISE
Provides anoise containing uniformly low to
high frequency components.
Sound effects of sea, storm, steam locomotive,
etc. can be obtained using the NOISES indepen-
dently or mixing them with other produced by
VCO I.
•MIXER
Set the lever switch of the MIXER to the middle
point between VCO Iand VCO II, both chan-
nels will then work simultaneously. The mixing
ratio can be controlled using the knob.
(DVCF
•TRAVELER:
The combination of harmonics is an important
factor in the creation of any tone color. The
Traveler is the tone control especially developed
to permit free harmonic combination. Incorpora-
ting paired low pass and high pass filters, it
permits the creation of any tone color.
First of all, move the position of the LOW PASS
filter knob slowly from 10 to 0, while playing the
instrument. After returning it to the 10 position,
move the HIGH PASS filter knob slowly from
to 10. You will 'then learn how the mixing
ratio of harmonics varies. Next, ascertain the
variations and the changes of a tone color by
changing the OCTAVE of VCF Iand/or moving
the H.P. and the L.P. knobs.

When the Traveler is used as apre-set, one
touch will permit the player to find atone color
spontaneously, once he is familiar with the ope-
ration of the two levers. When the Traveler is
used dynamically, afine back and forth movem-
ent will create atremolo. Awider left-right
sweep will give rise to acurved tone which,
when properly timed to the keyboard action,
can create awah or amuting effect.
•BRIGHT
For adding traveler resonance effect. The posi-
tion lprovides stronger resonance effect than
the position 2. Explore the variations and the
changes of tone color by setting the knobs at
various positions.
•LFO
Low Frequency Oscillator. For adding repeat,
howling and other effects in order to change tone.
Set the BRIGHT switch at position 1hold the
upper and the lower TRAVELER knobs together
with the left hand, and, playing the key board,
move them right and left between the 4and 6
positions. The above effects can automatically
be produced using the LFO switch. Set both
TRAVELER knobs at position 5, set the LFO
switch at position 1, and turn to adjust the upper
left LFO knob to the cycle obtained by handling
the TRAVELER knobs manually. Asimilar effect
will then be produced automatically. The LFO 2
provides the same effect as is obtained by irioving
the knob over a large distance. Test the effect,
changing the position of the TRAVELER, the
BRIGHT, the LFO SPEED, the VCO IOCTA-
VE, etc. in various ways.
•EXPAND

RATOR to the VCF. (Refer to ^ENVELOPE
GENERATOR".)

•ATTACK TIME
Change the position of the ATTACK TIME knob
slowly from to 8while playing the instrument,
and the rise time will gradually be lengthened.
•SINGING LEVEL
While playing the instrument, move the position
of the SINGING LEVEL slowly from 8to 0,
the sustaining power of sound will then be gra-
dually lessened. Try this out in. various ways
in combination with the ATTACK TIME.
•SUSTAIN TIME
For varying the sound duration after removing a
finger from a key. Sound disappears quickly at
XI position, sustain time is short at X10 and
longer at X100.

First of all reset all the knobs in the positions
shown in the drawing of the control panel on
page 5paying attention to the EXPAND switches
of the VCF part.
Set the ATTACK TIME knob of the ENVELOPE
GENERATOR at the 8position, and sound will
rise slowly. Then, set the BRIGHT switch at
position 1, set both the upper and the lower
knobs in the same position and simultaneously
depress akey and move the position of the knobs
from to 5. To produce this effect automatical-
ly, set both the upper and the lower knobs at
the 5 position and set the EXPAND switches
at the NOR. (normal) position. In addition the
effect obtained by depressing akey and moving
the position of the lapped knobs of the TRAVE-
LER from 10 to 5can be produced by setting
the EXPAND switches at the REV. (reverse)
position. The EXPAND switches are for moving
the TRAVELER in accordance with the sound
volume variation curve produced by the ENVE-
LOPE GENERATOR.
The effect can be varied to alarge extent by
changing the combination of the ENVELOPE
GENERATOR, the TRAVELER and the BRI-
GHT in various ways.
