Korg Maxi-Korg 800DV panel controls in detail

This is a detailed explanation of the unusual panel controls of the vintage Korg Maxi-Korg 800DV from the 1970s. Some have suggested that it was the best mono synth from the 1970s. It included two full mini-korg 700 synths which provided a lot of sonic potential. This unit is rare because 1) at that time Korg (sold throughh Univox in the U.S.) was a largely unknown Japanese synth maker. 2) it was the older brother to the Mini-Korg 700(s). The Mini-Korg sold for about $750 in the mid '70s. The Maxi was perhaps twice that price, which meant that it competed with the ARP Odyssey and Mini-moog. It obviously lost that contest in the market. Check it out in this video! Let me know what you think.
