Common miniKORG 700Sm Questions
How do I connect the miniKORG 700Sm to my DAW via MIDI and control its parameters with my MIDI controller?
Connect the miniKORG 700Sm to your computer using a USB cable. Ensure your DAW recognizes it as a MIDI device, then assign MIDI CCs to the desired parameters within your DAW or use the dedicated miniKORG 700Sm MIDI control surface setting within your DAW if one is available.
How do I save and recall sound presets/patches on the miniKORG 700Sm?
The miniKORG 700Sm allows you to save up to 64 user presets; use the 'Memory Write' button and then select a memory location with the Program/Memory selector. To recall a preset, use the Program/Memory selector to choose the desired memory location.
What are the key differences between the 'Traveler' and 'Brute Factor' effects on the miniKORG 700Sm, and how do I use them effectively?
The 'Traveler' is a joystick-controlled resonant filter, allowing real-time manipulation of the sound's tonality. 'Brute Factor' is a distortion circuit adding overdrive or fuzz, controllable via the dedicated knob, which can be used subtly for warmth or aggressively for harsh textures.
My miniKORG 700Sm isn't producing any sound even though the power is on and I'm playing notes. What should I check?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up and that the headphone jack is not in use (as this mutes the main output). Also, confirm that the oscillator levels are not set to zero, and the filter cutoff isn't completely closed.
How does the ESP (External Signal Processor) input on the miniKORG 700Sm work and what can I connect to it?
The ESP input allows you to process external audio signals through the miniKORG 700Sm's filter, VCA, and effects; connect any line-level audio source, such as a guitar, drum machine, or another synthesizer, to creatively shape its sound.
