Korg MS20 vs. Korg MS50 low pass filter test


YouTube Published on Apr 29, 2012 by demokid2000

"I finally got myself a Korg MS 50 semi modular synthesizer. I bought my Korg MS20 back in 1996 and I have always wanted a MS50 as a side kick. What I lack the most in the Korg MS20 is multipliers and pule wave modulation. Ok, the high pass filter and "ring modular" is great but you need multis in a patchable synth.

I just want to say one thing about the MS series... They are not complete. I thought an MS50 would fix everything I lack in the MS20... It doesn't. Both lack some very important "modules" to work 100% as a team

Anyway... They still sound great. I didn't think the low pass filter would sound that different! The MS20 VCF sounds smooth like cotton compared to the MS50 which is a lot harsher. The PWM on the MS50 is very melodic and nice sounding. I still have a lot to learn how to integrate the MS20 / 50 in my sound palette.

With this video I try to show how different the filter sounds. A very basic test and I'm afraid that youtube messed up the sound, there are some fizzle which is not present in the original file.
