KORG MS50 ANALOG Modular


images via this auction

"1978 built in Japan. It is cool on its own and even crazier coupled with an MS20 or MS10, it was designed as an expander to these, although I’ve read it has a better build quality than the MS10 or 20. Being FULLY Modular it is very versatile and can be used for FX, processing audio and control voltages, etc it even has a great ring modulator. You can process guitars, other instruments, mics, your voice etc. You can create stereo pingponging, tremolo, all sorts. Have a read up on them, good reviews, see sequencer.de.

It is a 240v ac 50/60hz Australian plug end. Serial number 190503

The Korg MS-50 - modular in design and at the height of the MS-series synthesizers. This keyboard-less expander type module is completely patchable and uses Korg's Hz/V type of CV and Gate for control with other synths like the MS-20. There are lots of knobs and patch points on this one... The MS-50 is still a single VCO monophonic analog beast but offered more patch ability and power than any other MS synth. Other features include a ring modulator, voltmeter and sample & hold. It was also designed to complement the SQ-10 sequencer. It has been used by The Chemical Brothers."
