Korg presents MS-20 Mini: A dream come true. ///
Original released in 1978, the semi-modular monophonic machine became the favorite due to its synthesis and self-oscillating filter, capable of squealing effects and bubbling leads that gave a distinctive tone.
So yes, Korg have recreated the classic MS-20. At 86% of the size, but all exactly like the original, the MS-20 is a two-VCO, two-VCA, two-VCF mono synth with a single LFO and two envelopes.
All front panel controls have remained with the patch bay moving from 1/4" to 3.5mm jacks. -To my own taste it should remaint the 1/4" connector for the output line.
Also Korg have added a dedicated MIDI and USB, both input only.
Highlights: ■ Overseen by the engineers of the original MS-20, a complete replication of the original analog circuitry ■ 2VCO / 2VCA / 2VCF / 2EG / 1LFO structure ■ Self-oscillating high-pass/low-pass filters with distinctive distortion ■ External signal processor (ESP) ■ Extremely flexible patching system ■ Miniature MS-20 that's 86% of the original size ■ MIDI IN and USB connector ■ Replicates every detail of the original, down to the package binding and the included manual.
Available in April. Price $599.
