Korg 800DV

“It is in fair condition considering its age.

The original side pieces and keyboard end blocks have been replaced with solid wood which are exact reproductions of the originals.

I will send the original wood pieces along with the synth if you so desire.

All of the original slider caps and knobs are present.

The front panel does have some chipping around certain controls that were used often while playing (see pictures).

The interior of the synth is in excellent condition and doesn’t appear to have ever been worked on (see pictures).

All of the metal surfaces are in very good condition.

I’m including a copy of the owner’s manual.

As for functionality, I have tested all of the knobs and sliders and everything seems to work with the following exceptions;

1. When the the Lower Voice wave shape knob is set to pulse wave and the Lower Voice “foot” control is in the 8′ position, there is no sound from that oscillator. (The other oscillator on the lower voice still works).

2. The 3 position switch that controls the Upper Voice Vibrato is always on no matter what position the switch is in but the Vibrato sliders (Speed and Depth) still function normally.

Please note that you may find something else that is not quite right going on with this synth but considering it’s age, I would say that over all it is functioning pretty well.

The synth has never been recapped and being almost 50 years old it is probably due for a complete capacitor change. This will undoubtedly fix the minor problems it currently has.

I have made a brief video of playing this synth to demonstrate that all of the keys work and that is worthy of making music. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Korg Maxi-Korg

“This is a unique vintage Korg Maxi-Korg synthesizer. This synth is also known as the Korg 800DV. This Univox K3 was sold in the US under the name Maxi-Korg K3. The power of the Maxi-Korg lay in the way it could create and play sounds. In essence, it was two Korg 700S synths in a single box, so you could treat it as two distinct synths, creating two different sounds, and then playing them independently. Some other mid-’70s synths allowed you to play two notes, but these used the same patch parameters for both. Only the Maxi-Korg could produce two sounds that you could play as a composite, or as two independent synths. Yet this was only half the story, because the 800DV allowed you to allocate the voices in a huge variety of ways. This made it possible to program more realistic, more expressive, or more off-the-wall sounds than was possible on other monosynths. The Maxi-Korg was, and remains, one of the most impressive, flexible and articulate synths ever built.

As the original owner, I know this Korg synthesizer to be in excellent condition with no known problems.”
