Korg MS-20 Mini 37-Key Miniature Analog Synthesizer

The Korg MS-20 Mini is a monophonic analog synthesizer that meticulously recreates the iconic MS-20 originally released in 1978. Developed under the supervision of the original engineers, it uses reproduced analog circuitry to deliver the same distinctive, robust sounds in a more compact format. This instrument is designed for musicians and producers seeking authentic vintage synth tones with the practical benefits of a reduced physical footprint. The synth features a 2VCO, 2VCA, 2VCF, 2EG, and 1LFO structure, providing a wide palette of sounds from deep basses to piercing leads. A key highlight is its self-oscillating high-pass and low-pass filters, known for their distinctive distortion and radical tonal character when resonance is maximised. The unit includes an External Signal Processor (ESP) for processing external audio and an extremely flexible patching system with a dedicated patch panel, offering extensive sound design possibilities. Connectivity includes MIDI IN and USB for integration with modern setups. Ideal for studio producers, live performers, and electronic music enthusiasts, the MS-20 Mini delivers the classic, unfiltered sound of a vintage analog synthesizer. Its 37-note mini-key keyboard maintains the original's tactile feel while the 86% scale body makes it easier to transport and fit into smaller workspaces. It comes complete with period-accurate packaging and a detailed manual, making it a comprehensive package for both newcomers to analog synthesis and seasoned players nostalgic for the original's character.
