Switched On Demo: Korg Mini MS-20 at NAMM 2013 (Direct Audio Recording)
Posted on January 25, 2013
Switched On is at NAMM this year taste testing many of the new and exciting designs being debuted.
Korg has unveiled a replica of it's famed MS-20 scaled down to a miniature version. Everyone at Switched On loves the original MS-20 so the announcement of this was a pleasant surprise. I decided to do some noodling around with the Mini MS-20's parameters. I jacked directly into the output stage of it to avoid the chaotic background noise of the convention center. It has all of the original signal path and patching capabilities using the original Hz/Octave scaling. It also includes midi and usb connectivity. If you recall the iMS-20 controller it is essentially that in it's form factor, except rotary encoders have been replaced with pots and true analog circuitry designed by the original engineers. Best of all, it's going to be $599.00 and shipping by April.
