Description
The Korg MS-20 is an analog synthesizer keyboard that belongs to the MS series, first released in 1978. This instrument is known for its semi-modular architecture, allowing users to create complex sounds through patching while maintaining a straightforward interface. It features two voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) and a noise generator, providing a rich palette of sound design options. The MS-20 is equipped with control voltage (CV) and gate connections, enabling integration with other modular systems and external devices. Its dual multi-mode filters (lowpass, highpass, notch, and band-reject) and two voltage-controlled amplifiers (VCAs) facilitate detailed sound shaping and dynamic control. This synthesizer is typically used in studio settings for genres such as electronic, techno, and pop, thanks to its ability to produce both classic analog tones and experimental sounds.
