KORG MS02


Title link takes you to a couple more shots pulled via this auction. Not the best, but you don't see these often.

Details:
"Here we have a Korg MS-02 Interface in PERFECT WORKING ORDER. Sorry for the out of focus photos. Cosmetically in GREAT shape, a 9 out of 10. No particular blemish stands out as worth mentioning, just some occassional surface scratches and smudge marks, but again, in great cosmetic shape, especially for a 30 year old item. I have the original manual and will send that as well.

From the manual:

"For complete connection compatibility between synthesizers.
The MS-02 is ideal if you want to upgrade your synthesizer by adding on other synthesizer units having different kinds of keyboard control voltage and trigger signals. The built-in, fully adjustable log amp, anti-log amp, and trigger processor ensure complete system flexibility and compatibility between any presently voltage controlled synthesizer."

Meaning, you can use this unit to connect any major analog synth with CV in/outs to any other synth with CV ins/outs. Hugely useful for connecting your Moog to your MS 20, or your ARP to your MS 10, or whatever you desire. Crazy Analog synth sounds possible!

Furthermore, it has juntion points on the bottom, which is hugely useful for modular patching. For instance, on the korg ms 20, it only allows you to patch one parameter to only one other paramater, but with the junctions, you simply connect your parameter in, and have the possibility to patch it to two, or even THREE different other patch points. This doubles or even TRIPLES your possibilities!!! So useful!
