"This is a built kit of the Korg MS-20M monophonic synthesizer module. It is in virtually perfect playing and physical condition and includes the original patch cables, manuals and box. Does NOT include a SQ-10 sequencer.

This version is a module-only version of the original keyboard synthesizer made from 1978 to 1983. It is the same circuitry as the original with several important improvements.
- SYNC ON/OFF switch allows oscillator sync
- FM ON/OFF switch allows frequency modulation
- FILTER TYPE switch selects two filter types
- PWM IN jack allows pulse width modulation
- EG2 NORMAL OUT expands your sonic possibilities
- TRIG SW button is a convenient way to audition the sound
- Supports all CV/GATE specifications: Hz/V and V/Oct, S-Trig and V-Trig
- Three JUNCTION jacks
- MIDI IN connector and USB MIDI connector

The original MS-20 used two different VCF circuits depending on the date of production, and now you can choose either of these with a single switch. The earlier model (REV.1) has an aggressive character with distinctive distortion and self-oscillation, while the later model (REV.2) has minimal noise and a sweet, mellow sound."
