[sdiy] Korg Maxikorg 800DV clone

[Adam (synthDIY)]

Wow Luís, interesting project!

Such a wonderful quirky synth - I had one on loan to my studio for many years.

I still have a Korg 700 original from 1975 or so, and I seem to recall that the boards were very similar.
Isn't the Maxi  basically x2 Mini700S  (the later 700 with the added ring mod) but with some key priority circuitry tying them together?


Good luck!
