New Korg MS-20 Mini

SonicBern 🎙️ · 25th December 2012

''arriving February''

I just found on another page, with analog Korg stuff but also the R3 so they may mean VA not RA.. The grill maybe for valve force rather than RA cooling. Can't wait ;-)

MS-20 monophonic synthesizer MINI 37 Mini Keys

arriving
April

And another from the same site...

the keester · 25th January 2013

Can anyone confirm the new MS20 has VCO's? And not DCO's?

From sweetwater:

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MS20mini

Back and smaller than ever, Korg's MS-20 mini analog synthesizer revives the ... with the same analog oscillators (now digitally stabilized), first-generation filters, and a ... Number of Digital Outputs, No digital I/O ...

Digitally stabilized oscillators refers to DCO's if I'm not mistaken.

FlameNeoG · 25th January 2013

It's interesting that they say that. In the Sonic State video from NAMM the Korg guy says the only digital part is MIDI and USB, and everything else is identical. (not including size, of course.)

Neither, it's clearly a fake plastic case built around an iPad mini running iMS-20.

FWIW, the Korg specs on their site say VCOs.

I hope it's referring to an auto-tune circuit and not DCOs--not that there's anything wrong with DCOs.

they used auto-tune in the monotribe. It's probably the same in this.

So they are iCOs

the keester · 26th January 2013

So no one knows for sure?

itege · 26th January 2013

If it says VCOs on the Korg site, I'd say they are VCOs.

aleric51 · 26th January 2013

pre ordered one a little bit ago, pumped

volumetrik · 26th January 2013

im guessing its VCO but not like the old ones, btw did original MS-20 require warm up?

Xtinct · 26th January 2013

I'm not sure were the confusion or disbelief is coming from on the new MS20's VCOs.
I don't recall this question being raised when arturia announced the minibrute.

asynchro_nous · 26th January 2013

Considering how great this synth sounds I'd definitely say they are WTFCO's.

I know I don't!

(the "C" is for "Cares" in case it isn't obvious)

casiosk1 · 26th January 2013

That's pretty effin' nifty, but it would be like an eggy broccoli fart to the analog purist.

ohmicide · 26th January 2013

why does it matter? only matters if it sounds good or not

ohmicide · 26th January 2013

javd007 · 26th January 2013

Spring ... Can't wait. I ordered it and want it now! Now ! I cleaned a shelf for it. 3 months wtf .

Monotribe sounds great. I wouldn't worry, the MiniMS20 will sound great too.

Like it, like it, like it.

All synths on the planet use WTFC Oscillators. Full stop. Some sound bad, some sound good. Full stop & end of story.

**Reptil** · 26th January 2013

Hmmm tempting...
Is it 1V/oct?

It seems to be.

goldphinga · 26th January 2013

Will you keep your original whilst its still worth something? Or sell it for a new MS20 mini? Thoughts?
