Description

Korg’s MS-20 monophonic synthesizer, first introduced in 1978, is still a coveted instrument to this day, thanks to its thick, robust sound, its powerful, iconic analog filter, and its versatile patching options.
Over 300,000 people have enjoyed the distinct MS-20 sounds from the original, from Korg’s MS-20 plug-in synth, and the iMS-20 iPad app.

Today, the sounds of the MS-20 have been reborn as the MS-20 Mini. The same engineers who developed the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced its circuitry and fitted it into a body that’s been shrunk to 86% of the original size, yet retains the distinctive look of the original that remains unfaded despite the passage of time.
The MS-20 mini will amaze you with its absolutely authentic analog synth sound.

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

Faithful recreation of the MS20 at 86% of the size
MIDI IN and USB connector

Replicates every detail of the original, down to the package binding and the included manual

Is my AD/DA HPF'ing? And why?

...Presonus 1810c (which I love and trust) and some analogue synths. My instruments here are my little Eurorack modular, a Korg MS-20 mini and a Presonus 1824c interface that I got for a bargain price on eBay (hint hint?) It turns out that everything that goes into the 1824c seems to lose bass frequencies. The instruments sound...
