I've heard good things about the English Tear hz/v>v/oct //v/oct>hz/v converter.

I'd like to share a combo patch if you have a Monotribe along with an MS-20xx.

Headphones Out on MS-20xx to Audio Input on Monotribe (MT).

Set input gain 4, next 3 controls 6,6,6

Feed output of CVfv back to External input on MS20xx

You made a wise choice. I own the kit version and love it. Easy to assemble, build is rock solid, sounds awesome, both filter choices. And I'm generally not a "Full Size keys or bust!" person, but having them is certainly a big plus IMO.

at this pricepoint I also thought about the original.. but since I dont really know which of both filters I like more the ms20 kit will give me the possibily to switch between them which is its biggest advantage also over the mini imo. The mini keys wouldn't have been such a big problem, since I am less of a keyboardist but full size and better build quality are a plus for sure too.

Im using this with my ms 20mini>pittsburgh/eurorack...takes a little to set up then is solid after that.

I bought the kit version (No M) before the module was available. I think I would rather the module, but I really enjoy this KB.

I have a Moog Little Phatty Stage II, but enjoy the patching and no memory. Both filter options is nice.

I am going down the Eurorack rabbit hole, so maybe the mini would have been a good idea in hindsight, but time will tell. The pots and jacks are velvety on the MS20 Kit. I was however shorted one patch cable.

I got all 10 with the 1 kit I built, but I only got 9 patch cables with the
MS-20kit I got from kijiji!
I smell a patch cord conspiracy!

I knew it

Can anyone with an MS-20 mini tell me if it transmits polyphonically from the keybed
when used as a controller via
ms20mini>usb<pc>midi>another synth

On the MS-20kit it transmits polyphonically, either a bonus or an oversight, as this is
not mentioned in the MS-20xx manual.

The Evil Overlord tells me that the MS-20mini transmits polyphonic MIDI over USB (but at fixed velocity). I'm afraid I can't verify that as I've since traded my mini (replaced with full-size kit and module).

Cheers

Thanks.
Velocity does not throw me, as I turn off VCA velocity on the controlled module,
a vermona perFOURmer

And the MS-20mini (or MS-20kit) can be made duophonic by taking the USB to Kenton USB>MIDI
then convert to Hz/V low note priority and feed the CV back to CV VCO2 from CV OCD.
Playing it that way right now.

In a blind test, I actually preferred the mini to the original here from 3:30 to 4:10 or so -- https://cdm.link/2013/02/tested-ms-2...-audio-photos/

It is not mentioned (or I missed it) whether the original was an MK1 or MK2.

Tests which I would like to see more of are
a) MS-20Kit (MK1 mode) vs the mini
b) MS-20M (MK1 mode) vs the mini
c) Behringer K2 (MK1 mode) vs the mini
d) the new MS-20FS (MK1 mode) vs the mini

As I only have a MS-20Kit (sold me second one for space)
I really can not comment on which is better.

I can say that when I had 2 MS-20Kits that they were not identical
as they are analogue and even in MK2 mode with identical hand-dialed-in
settings, they had variations (one was #1206 and the other #1209 )

Not a big fan of MK1 filters, so I guess the mini is not in the cards for me.
A K2 is a more likely candidate if the Behringer Cat does not happen to
get to Canada in a timely manner.
