NAMM 2013: Korg MS-20 Mini: The Legendary All-Analog MS-20, Reborn! Videos

Published on Jan 24, 2013 KorgUSAVideos·321 videos

"Join Korg Inc.'s own Fumio Mieda and Hiroaki Nishijima - the engineers who brought us the legendary MS-20 back in 1978 - as we take a look at the new MS-20 Mini! Both personally oversaw the design of the modern-day MS-20, which features the exact same true-analog signal path as the legendary original. The incredibly powerful dual filters with peak/resonance, CV functionality, external signal processing, and unique hands-on patching system are all here - with 5-pin and USB MIDI to boot -- and all at 86% of the original size.

KORG MS-20 mini イントロダクション・ムービー


And the Press Release:

"Korg Announces MS-20 mini

-Korg's classic MS-20 is recreated in mini size-

WINTER NAMM, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, January 24th, 2013 - Korg's MS-20 monophonic synthesizer, first introduced in 1978, is still coveted to this day for its thick, robust sound, powerful, iconic analog filter, and versatile patching options. It has now been reborn as the new MS-20 mini. The same engineers who developed the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced it in a body that's been shrunk to 86% of the original size, yet retains the distinctive look of the original.

The MS-20 Mini offers the same distinctive synthesis that made the original MS-20 popular: two oscillators with ring modulation, and envelope generators with delay and hold. The VCA (Voltage Controlled Amp) maintains the original basic design, but it's been modified to produce less noise. Particular attention has also been paid to delivering smooth parameter adjustments, which are a distinctive feature of analog synthesizers. Special care was also taken to completely reproduce the original specifications of the MS-20, to deliver the same powerful sound, from deep, growling basses to crisp, rounded leads.

One of the most well-known - and still most sought after - characteristics of the original MS-20 was its powerful filters, which provided both high-pass and low-pass with peak/resonance. Maximizing the peak/resonance would cause the filter to self-oscillate; producing a distinctive and dramatic tonal change that was acclaimed as inimitable, and was used many years later on Korg's monotron and monotribe. The filter circuit was changed mid-way through the production lifecycle of the MS-20; the MS-20 mini uses the earlier filter, which was felt to be superior due to its more radical sound.

The ESP (External Signal Processor) functionality carries on the experimental spirit of MS-20, allowing users to utilize the pitch or volume of an external audio source to control the synthesizer. For example, an electric guitar can be used as an input signal, and the MS-20 mini can be used as a guitar synthesizer, or the mic input can allow it to be used it as a vocal synthesizer.

The patching system enables the creation of complex sounds by allowing the rerouting of both modulation and audio (both the internal oscillators and external audio). Different combinations of the modulation input/output and trigger, sample and hold, and noise generator can produce an incredible variety of sounds. By patching according to the MS-20 flow chart printed on the panel, musicians of all levels can take advantage of these possibilities right away.

To make it even more approachable, the MS-20 mini has been shrunk to 86% of the size of the original, with meticulous care taken to accurately reproduce the knob design and the printing. The patch cables have been changed from 1/4" phone plugs to mini-plugs, and the newly-designed keyboard is 86% of the original size as well.

The MS-20 mini is equipped with a MIDI IN jack for receiving note messages, and a USB-MIDI connector that can transmit and receive note messages. Users can also connect the MS20 mini to a computer and play it from an external sequencer.

For added authenticity, the MS-20 mini packaging replicates much of the original. Also included are the original MS-20 owner's manual and settings chart.

The Korg MS-20 Mini will be available April 2013 for a U.S. Street price of $599.00 Additional product information is available at Korg.com."

EURORACK MODULAR SHOCK ELECTRONIX ENSEMBLE

Published on Jul 17, 2015 PLUCKA,S SHED

Synth bird!

"A new eurorack modular from shock electronix featuring the sequencer ,delay and modulator a very easy and fun starter setup
http://shockelectronix.com/shop/"

A list of their first set of products for the archives (these are available as completed or as various DIY kits):

"EsQu-One Step Sequencer

The Shock Electronix Modatron EsQu-One Step Sequencer is our Eurorack conversion of the super compact and highly versatile Korg SQ-1 Step Sequencer.

As standard, the Korg SQ-1 is a compact step sequencer with 2 x 8 steps. It's wealth of connection jacks allows it to be integrated with a Eurorack System, connected to the MS-20, and a variety of other synthesizers.

Vintage analog synths or the latest compact synths can be controlled from this single unit. You can also switch between a variety of synthesizer modes and use the step buttons to create performances overflowing with spontaneity.

As a descendant of the SQ-10, and just like the SQ-1, the EsQu-One supports the Hz/V standard, enabling it to perfectly control the MS-20 or MS-20 mini. It goes without saying the V/Oct standard is also supported, and the voltage level of the CV output (*) and polarity of the GATE output can be specified as appropriate for the device you've connected. This versatility will enable you to control a wide variety of other synthesizers as well.

* V/Oct supported for 1V, 2V, and 5V; Hz/V supported for 8V.

Just like the SQ-1, the EsQu-One provides two CV/GATE OUT channels, the standard MIDI OUT and USB MIDI, littleBits out (to connect to the littleBits synth kit by littleBits Electronics Inc.), plus the SYNC IN/OUT channel that allows you to connect to the volca series and monotribe. In addition to this, we’ve designed the EsQu-One with an added 4 rows of multiples, and easy access to the USB port at the bottom."

"Modatron Delay

The Shock Electronix Modatron Delay is our Eurorack conversion of the extremely popular Korg Monotron Delay.

As standard, the Korg Monotron Delay offers analog-style echoes, an LFO with selectable triangle or square waveshape, the same classic analog filter found in the legendary Korg MS-10 & MS-20, and with newly added controls, there is much more flexibility and functionality than ever before."

Demo of the KORG M3R digital synthesizer from 1989 - The Most Fascinating Soundscapes.

All sounds come from a single Korg M3R played live without additional effects - right from the stereo outputs of the Korg M3R. I played sounds from the following sources:

0:33 - 1:04 M3R factory presets
1:04 - 3:23 Synth 1 (Card Set from Korg)
3:23 - 5:30 Synth 2 (Card Set from Korg)
5:30 - 6:16 Synth 3 (Card Set from Korg)
6:16 - 6:46 L.A. Studio Hits (ROM Card from Key Clique Inc.)
6:46 - 7:11 Sound Effects (Card Set from Korg)
7:11 - 8:48 Environment (Card Set from Korg)
8:48 - 8:59 Akira (ROM Card from Korg)
8:59 - 9:41 World Omnibus (ROM Card from Korg)
9:41 - 9:48 Percussion (Card Set from Korg)

In this video, I tried to play a selection of most fascinating soundscapes from the M3R sound library available. The M3R is very cheap nowadays, it's a good choice if you like digital synth sounds from the nineties!"

Using the new Korg IOS synth app ODDYSSEi with Korg Gadget, on an iPad Mini 3, how does it hold up?

"We own a hardware Korg Odyssey, and were very interested to hear what the new iOS app, ODYSSEi sounded like. The hardware has an iconic, unique sound that rivals many of the best synths, but when we heard this new iOS app worked with Korg's Midi iOS DAW Gadget, it became a must buy. Gadget quickly became a favorite mobile music making app for us here at Expanding Sound, with it's easy interface and great tones. The exporting of your performance to Ableton Live sets is a pretty key feature for making high quality jams on the go. We assumed that with this new apps capabilities and great tone, it would be fairly draining on your iPads processing power. So how did it hold up on an iPad mini 3? Check out our video and see! I whipped up a quick little sequence, for the purposes of testing the sounds and limitations that went along with the app.

I use the Korg Gadget app on my iPad for the strings, and a bleepy break i drop in later..
It's all synced by the SyncKontrol app on my old iPhone 4s - which then outputs a clock to the Volcas and keeps in sync with the iPad via Ableton Link..
It's all live on the hardware, the computer's purpose is to record the audio..

An enjoyable experience to make music in this way and not the usual staring at Ableton Live :)"

I use the Korg Gadget app on my iPad for a beat, and a patch on the Kiev the uses the old Korg M1 Universe sound.. that's gotta be one of my favorite sounds ever..
I also try to play a lead sound on the app.. it all started to remind me of Miami Vice/GTA 5/Hotline Miami music so i tried to find a sound that fitted.. it's still abit of a cheezy fun track more than anything... but i think a style i can work more on in the future :)

Everything is synced by the SyncKontrol app on my old iPhone 4s - which then outputs a clock to the Volcas and keeps in sync with the iPad via Ableton Link..
