Thanks Claudio for supporting the revival of the gorgeous Korg 700S(m) 🙏. To my opinion a totally underrated synth. The jam was so cool! I have a 1978 original which still works after all those years. Although, it could use a bit (lot) of cleaning, but it still sounds phantastic. A love for life ♥.
Cool! Didn’t think this was a good idea until I saw you unbox it with that included gig bag. The size looks so portable and fun and kind of fits with the spirit of this synth. I have been a fan of the original since seeing Greg Hawkes work his magic with one. Korg’s instruments of the era have so much character, rather than just being a box of features.
As usual, really good video, Dr. M. OK, I admit it. I.M. old. I remember lusting after the Univox Mini Korg after seeing it sitting atop some astronomically priced organ in a music store in Denver in the late 70s. I used to go in and play (the synth) until they kicked me out of the store. At around US$995, it was WAY out of my budget. But the MiniKorg is what first got me into synthesizers. I like what Korg has done with the new one - USB, MIDI in, CV in, program memory, etc. But at US$1300, it's still quite spendy.
MA SEI UN FENOMENOOOOO !! DOVE TOCCHI GIRI E DOVE GIRI CREI, MA COME DEVO FA IO CON TE SE AD OGNI TUA IMPROVVISAZIONE MI VIENE DA CANTARCI SOPRA ? IL PRIMO PEZZO CHE HAI IMPROVVISATO IN TIPO CHILL OUT SEMBRAVA UNO STYLE ALLA DEPECHE MODE !!! PER ME SEI SEMPRE IL NUMBER ONE !! ;-)) K.V.
Owned on in the late 80’s, very dry, but once moistened with a little Reverb…sounded great…think I paid sixty pounds at a second hand store in Chorley Lancs.😂
I like how simple this synth is. I feel like if you accidentally change any knobs and faders you’ll always get something cool. Only problem is that korg discontinued the full sized Keys version for this re-re-rerelease. Probably gonna buy this version anyways tho :)
They may have DC’d the Full Size but they were slow moving off shelves. I would think there’s a few small retailers wanting to move them on Reverb before they stock the mini version.
very nice play around, I’m so tempted by this if not for the Martin Rushant nostalgia, I had a good look at the FS I think it was and wondering which is better, I’m not sure I agree with you on the ‘famed’ Korg mini keys though
Is it really only good as a 2nd stack synth on the top of your synth stand ? Wouldn’t that also be ideal on your main production desk behind the computer keyboard/mouse and setup as sound design source + Master keyboard ? (I know it doesn’t have velocity though it has after touch)
Seems like you are summing the stereo output to mono into your looper, which totally cancels the spring reverb due to its L/R phase inversion. But nice jam though!
Couldn't justify to myself buying the FS when it came out - but the mini those early Human League leads are calling again and I can see myself falling.
Looks like a cool piece of gear and sounds great, but having many of the controls under the keyboard makes it look fiddly to use and not very intuitive
I don't know... if this is one of the best thing that NAMM 2025 has to offer, the synth market is in trouble. ANY analog mono synth can do that and more, without looking that cheesy... what's next the "new" Moog Rogue? lol

It was a pleasure seeing you in person at NAMM
Thank you, Dr. Mix, for being with us. ❤

Professional, entertaining and inspirational as always. Those tunes were tuff Thanks
You are really coolman, Claudio! I never cease to be amazed at how you master new synths on the fly!
And the the best Wing -man, Because he can play. : )Edit: "He is a Doctor"
Loved watching and listening: you made some great jams and your joy for music is evident!
You literally never miss on a video!!!! 🫶
What an adorable little synth... I love how it sounds.
I like your format no bs no talking shite just jammming showing people the deallyo
Excellent demo, as always! 👍👌 But where was the obligatory new synth sniff test? 😂
Dear Claudio! At 21:04 you touched the KITARO sound for the first time.......HOLY!!!
Double feature tonight! Twice as much Doctor😍
Double sponsoring..
Wow, this synth hits so many sweet spots for me.
That’s Kitaro’s #1 synth! Check Silk Road and any of his big numbers. All on an original 700.
And of course you make this thing sound amazing.
I owned the original 700S decades ago and was really astouned by its ultra delicate sound...still miss it!

That's a funny little synth, it's really performance oriented.
Having had one for over 50 years, you can repatch it in seconds with a few flips. This was amazing before we had presets.
Dr mix! You should go to the synthesizer museum in Switzerland!! Would be a aweosme video!

I have the original korg 700 and it is so funky
19:31 nice scale work! 👍👍
Good on Korg for keeping this classic faithful. It's so old and underutilized this may as well be a new sound. Very unique!
Most polarizing synth ever? I absolutely love it btw... ❤

Ooh are these 7/8 keys then? They look like it from here. My favorite
Very nice funky feeling at begin 😊

I have the 700FS I got in trade and its a neat instrument. Seems odd they would release a minikey version though, the 700FS kinda seemed like a flop.
wow that so cool ! i love it !
In Top3 of the Best Analog synths in the past 20years
Holy Moly this this thing is cool!
Seems like this king of music has passed it's era. I have not bought a synth because of that.
Great thing. I only think the price difference with it bigger brother would make me buy the large one.
nice - reminds me of the korg dv 800 (knob look) - impressiv sounds
Même si déjà vue la vidéo du Synthe sur autre chaîne je vous laisse toujours un Like. Pour votre charisme Doctor CharisMix 😂😂😂
I think the translation ruined that comment sory
@Captainducksee Doctor Mix comprend le français. Voilà Mr
Dr. Mix the rapsberry jam master !
Imagining next the keyboard used on Del Shannon's "Runaway" gets remade.
Me: “Doesn’t Doctor Mix have a MiniKorg?”
Two days later… “Yes. Yes he does.”
Sounds amazing - great work Claudio - love the jam at around 20 mins in - so groovy
@Doctor Mix, can you try to deconstruct Killer - Adamski? Those sounds are incredibly hard to reproduce in my opinion.
Is like the ARP Odyssey but in a reduced package :)
Korg has done a pretty good job of small form factor reissues…I wish other manufacturers of famous analogs got a clue from that.
Have to admit, that sh!t looks fun
Awesome synth ! You gotta make a human league cover now 😊thank you for sharing!
You are so amazing good! And super fun.
3:58 ideal pour la musique de Starsky et Hutch 😊
Wow pretty cool and more in the price range I'm interested in for my purposes!
1,00,000.14dollars😂
❤🏅 BERY cool. Kind of like the little Yamaha Reface line. But I do hope you can save programs into it. That was the only bummer with the CS,
Awesome
This video got a lot more interesting after you did a bit of manual reading.. (13:28 onward)
I have the same knife, but not the synth...😢
Dayum!!! 👀
Those switches and sliders triggering nostalgia of old stereos from the 80s / 70s 👍😁
Thanks for vid! How many notes polyphony?
It's a mono synth.
Funny drop that arp in the dB mix watch people leave lol
Anybody know if the original version of the synthesizer was the one the cars used?
docta meezix, can you pleeeeeze try Rock Lobster with that
God Bless!

What's that one machine that you have to the right of your keyboard.

This is Mr. Kenner from NAMM 2025 this year. Remember.. Art Of Noise "Moments in Love" and "Beat Box" recreation good sir.
New version, same functionality, new low price! One of the most immediately explorable synths ever.
Seems like you are summing the stereo output to mono into your looper, which totally cancels the spring reverb due to its L/R phase inversion. But nice jam though!
You get loads of new gear where do you keep it all
Doesn’t remind me of that album by the Cars, what the hell? 😂 JK, its freaking awesome!, has a nice sizzle in the mixnizzle. 😎
The original was definitely on early Cars albums.
Couldn't justify to myself buying the FS when it came out - but the mini those early Human League leads are calling again and I can see myself falling.
Could you re-construct Daniel Miller/ The Normal’s “Warm Leatherette” With it?
phat sounds!
Another free synth while we watch
I bought Juno-X for same price!😂❤
I've got a Juno X too. Great synth !
that jam!
I love the format… but the sound? Seems like not easy to fit on a mix.
I wish they had rhese available to buy at NAMM
Wow
God! The filters sound amazing 😍
16:33 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Plz i beg if you can remake” it Will rain” by Bruno mars!!
More ROLAND V-STAGE VIDEO!!!
Looks like a cool piece of gear and sounds great, but having many of the controls under the keyboard makes it look fiddly to use and not very intuitive
Certified fidget toy
Love this synth! Bass beast!
I don't know... if this is one of the best thing that NAMM 2025 has to offer, the synth market is in trouble.

Check Behringers new gear 😮❤!
It´s not easy to find the Kitaro´s own intense sine....
0:25 Aghvzzzzz, ma cos'è il Korg baracca? Giapponese come la Subaru
It’s a pity they made modern square knobs on top of this , it should be vintage like for better look but anyway it’s cool.
You have to be upside down to play one, I love mine.
Pitch-bend on a joy stick?
yeah buddy...
🎉🎉❤❤
O owned the original 700 and its a great sounding but very very basic synth. It’s immediacy is it selling point.
I still own the original......

Please, slower cuts to read the features or proper presentation for them.
