“Working but does have some issues

All keyboard keys are working

Synthe 2 voices can be a little temperamental to engage

Traveller only seems to have any effect on synthe 1, synthe 2 & brass

Modulation depth doesn’t seem to have any effect

Everything else appears to working as it should”

“Korg M-500 SP Micro Preset – Vintage Synth Synthesizer Keyboard c.1977 Ext. Rare.

This is for parts or repair as soon he sound is a little off and a few switches don’t work as they should.

Synth.1 doesn’t work but Synth 2 does and the other switches do. The Speaker sounds a little funky. The slide works good. The top of one switch is missing but you can still move it. If I didn’t need the money I would try and open this myself and try and figure it out because it’s a pretty rare special piece.

This is a non refundable item as it is just parts.

With that said I found this at an estate sale and can not tell you much more about it. ”

Korg Micro Preset M500

“There seems to have been two or three versions of this synth produced in different variants, this one is the version with no built in speaker. This synth is working (see video) but keep in mind that most vintage synths need maintenance at some point.
Externally this keyboard has marks and dings (see images) but has been looked after. This would probably have had a music rest at some point but this isn’t included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg M500 SP

“Korg M-500 SP Micro Preset Keyboard Synthesizer 1980s ‘ OMD With Preset Cards.

Bought in 1980 by seller. Item in very good condition, and fully working. Slight chip to front of one key and slight knock to case front left (as pictured).

This monophonic synth produces many of the sounds that people are familiar with from the late 70s and early 80s, whether using the internal speaker or an external amplifier, and sounds incredible.

The 12 preset cards are in good condition, but the part fun of this synth is in creating your own sounds.”

“Korg M-500 Micropreset Monophonic Vintage Synthesizer .Contains the classic Korg35 filter chips that were used in the MS series synths, and certainly this can sound very like an MS-10. Experimentation can yield surprising results (particularly that you can press two preset buttons at once to mix the sounds) ? the two Synthe buttons allow further tonal shaping using the manual filter and modulation depth controls. The repeat button is very cool: a very inspirational synth to play. Apparantly OMD and Human league used it extensively. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Micro Preset M500

” For sale I have a faulty Korg Micro-Preset Synthesizer Keyboard (Model: M-500SP). The synth turns on and most of the effects work, Synthe 2 and Voice settings give little to no sound. The settings that do work don’t generate a stable pitch 100% of the time. 4 keys don’t work with 1 of the 4 permanently down (god knows how that’s happened!). There is scratches and knocks all around the keyboard but that has come from the sheer amount of years / decades it’s been around plus as I say it was performed with.

This was my dad’s keyboard which he used to gig with way back when. From memory he said it did get broken but he had it repaired and continued using it. It stayed in storage until he gave it to me and I used it for many years myself. Since then it’s been sat in storage again as problems began to crop up and I simply don’t have the heart to bin it, it’s a Korg after all! Selling as faulty and in desperate need of TLC to get it back up and running properly. Given how old it is i’m not prepared to post it so collection only. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Kork Micro Preset M-500 SP Analog Vintage Synth. Condition is Used.

From 1977, this is a very simple and fun synth, few of which can be found for sale.

An incredible bass sound for which it is best known, but also makes some wild lead sounds.

This more sought after models also includes the small built in speaker underneath.

Cosmetically good condition. Wood effect vinyl has a couple of bumps/nicks. One of the switches has at some point been replaced with some kind of metal lever (as seen in photos) functionality not effected.

In terms of functionality, a couple of the pots have the odd crackle when turned. Another idiosyncrasy I’ve noticed is that the first three banks seem a little quieter than the rest. Not sure if that’s a common/normal thing. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“This is a genuine M-500 Korg Micro Preset SP, the very rare model with the built-in speaker.

Please note that two of the presets don’t work – these are they Synthe 1 and Synthe 2. This is a very common issue with these synths but can be fixed by replacing some of the capacitors.

Otherwise it’s in good shape. The sound can warble a bit, again a common issue with a synth that’s forty years old. But it’s a great bit of kit.”

Korg M500

“Works “partially” – some of the sounds are weak. Some don’t seem to work at all, and some work after the unit has warmed up. Here is a list:
KNOB:
2′. Violin, Recorder, Whistle WORK!
4′. Violin 2, Flute, Soprano WORK
8′. (no sounds work)
16′. (no sounds work)
32′ (no sounds work)

Both outputs work!

One of the levers broke off, and one of the keys is chipped. All keys work though. See pics for the damage.

Just opened it up, to see if the reason some sounds don’t work was apparent. I don’t see any bulged capacitors or anything easily identified. Looks to me like this has NEVER been serviced. Someone with electronic skills could fix this right up…

The instrument will be carefully packaged. the dimensions and the weight are entered into eBay, so the shipping you see is what it’ll cost based on your location.

“This is a rare and wonderful vintage piece that needs a little TLC. These are known to have capacitors that leak oil and erode the circuit, but this one has had *all capacitors replaced* in 2012 and traces repaired. (note: if you find one of these with original capacitors, it’s a matter of time before those capacitors cause a meltdown.)

It has one major playability issue that I don’t know how to fix — the scale of the keyboard has become out of tune. This is an all-analog and pretty simple system… but I can’t find where to make that adjustment. ” Click here to search for synths on eBay
