I posted this on the MiniKorg 700 S thread a while back but I thought I'd post it here too since this is such a rare beast.
I finally got around to recording some stuff so
HERE'S another example of an 800DV but played with patches. Sorry it's so huge...I can make it smaller if you like.
There are no effects except reverb or where noted.
The first patch is done with the ringmod set at intervals so it's sort of doing FM which makes it sound sort of like a DX7.
There is no reverb or any kind of effect on the third patch...it's just pure 800DV.
The fourth patch starts out normally but then I add some distortion with my Boss DS-1 pedal (which goes very good with the MaxiKorg) which muffles the sound a bit until I adjust the filter. I was almost going to sell the DS-1 because I couldn't get it to sound good until I got the MaxiKorg...It's as if they were made for each other. I put this up to show you the effects ins and outs.
On the fifth patch where I play the Little Fugue in G Minor you can hear the weird keyboard tracking where the first part plays ahaead of the second.
From there it's all ringmod and tweaking...which this synth is great for.
