    Ahhh my favorite mono of all time. A wonderful and fun instrument. KORG really struck gold with this one, and somehow, it never aged. No matter the decade, the MS20 always sounds modern.

      You can't beat hardware! There's something about owning an instrument that keeps you interested. I really like tuning the oscillators a 5th or 7th apart, adjusting the cutoff and resonance to get some nice harmonics and running it through a big reverb.

    In my life I've sold 2 synths. First was a DX7, second was an MS20. I regret both more than if I'd chopped off one of my arms. My current favorite synth that I own (that no one seems to care about) is a Roland SH-1, followed closely by my Ensoniq ESQ-1 . The Roland is Fat with a capital P H. I can't believe it's not more popular. The Ensoniq is like the DX7's long lost cousin.

  • @fredsuite4941

    I bought this synth in 1996 and I never left it eversince . And there is something magic about it. All the people coming to my house were attracted, musicians or not: "what's that thing?" As soon as they started to play with its knobs, I remember a blues guitarist, a classic pianist, a heavy drummer, some fathers and mothers (mine inclusive) smile like kids! I don't know much about re-editions, but the original one is a pure gem, able to communicate with dolphins in a desert island!

    My favorite (with my 800DV, bought in may 76). I have my MS20 since 1978 and I love it so much that I bought each and every iteration of it since then (midi, mini, kit, and even the Nintendo DS version for my grand-son!). Never failed me (and with time, I accompanied it with all his friends, M210, MS50, SQ10, MS02, MS03, MS04, MS2000...! and thinking that in the late 70s early 80s, I was snubbed by friends of mine who owned minimoogs or Odysseys (that I couldn't afford then :-)). I've always used extensively the patchbay (hope you make another video showing its features) and in the early 2010s, quite often with its processor to treat (and be triggered by) my Theremin!

      Yep, comes into its own once you start messing with that stuff. Plane flybys, flying saucer takeoffs and landings, cars, motorbikes, animals, just so much fun... This was my first synth in the early 80's and I used to just sit there for hours at a time with a handful of patch leads just messing about and annoying the hell out of my parents and neighbours. Built a harmonics generator for it (ran off the oscillator(s) output) and that just added another layer of fun!

    Ms - 10 was my 1st synth. The thunder and wind sounds you can make with nothing but pink and white noise (and some filtering)are awesome itself . It could create all the Italo base sounds of the time . I hooked it up to a 3 head reeltape recorder that functioned as a tape echo ( 3 speeds...lol) I sold it and bought myself a Korg MonoPoly witch is one of the fatest sounding synth's you will ever hear ! Would love to see you play that syhnt Doctor Mix !

I also use the external input for guitar and vocals /(like Allison goldfrapp on felt mountain) It sounds like no other! Thanks for the demo - cheers.

    I had that lovely beast for a long time, it's really miracle synth. It amazed me with all sound possibilities and sonic nuances. It was never a Moog, but no Moog was ever MS20, so...
    Maybe you could once show us some patchbay possibilities - there lies a hidden treasure :) - delayed vibrato, random function (sample & hold), games with noise oscilators, you can add modulation to this or that, envelope generator to this or that, etc etc. And finally, there is probably the most wicked feature of that little gem - external signal processor :) It gave us opportunity to play MS20's synth sounds by using microphone, guitar or any other electronic instrument* (I must admit it was not easy at all, you must play monophonic and also sound source must be very stabile, or you will get headache..) but also you had chance to use some other instrument sound through and to add filters/envelope/filter oscillators/etc to it and to change original sound in many many interesting ways. Finally, it was really nice video, well done!!!

    I have the KORG DS-10 for the Nintendo DS. It is super fun to mess around with!
    KORG DS-10 is a music creation program for the Nintendo DS that emulates the Korg MS range of synthesizers. Frequently people refer to the Korg MS-10 but this is a single oscillator monosynth. The DS-10 adds sync which the MS-20 is lacking.
