This is an excellent little synth, remarkable for under £500. Most importantly, the sound's great. Like the original MS-20 it can be a little noisy with some patches but not enough to really be a problem. It's more than worth it for the sound of the filters. Unlike most synths of the type, it has resonant highpass and lowpass filters - get them both self-oscillating, apply modulation, and all manner of weirdness is possible. They're not polite filters, they screech, whine and protest and can sound etremely nasty and sleazy. Even without the patchbay, we have the filters; two oscillators (triangle, saw, square waves & white noise with two lots of frequency modulation available); VCO mixer; two envelope generators; LFO with continuously variable waveforms, portamento, etc. With the patchbay, it opens up even more. Oscillator 1 gives you a choice of triangle, saw, pulse and noise. But if you want, say, sawtooth waveforms from both oscillators you can also patch noise in from the patchbay. Plus you get a choice of white or pink noise. You can even patch the noise in via the external signal processor to let you control it's volume and tone. You can access the Sample and Hold, the pulse wave output from the LFO; or inverted envelopes from both Envelope generators. And you can patch your modulation sources to either, or both, filters - or use them for frequency modulation. And the patchbay is the only way you an access the mod wheel and momentary switch located to the left of the keyboard. Another level of performance comes if you connect external units - maybe a sequencer. Via MIDI you can only transmit Note messages, whereas I'm using mine with a Beatstep Pro sequencer, sending CV & Gate for each note to the MS-20's Oscillator CV & Trigger in; but also routing the note's velocity to the filter cutoff frequency so I can accentuate certain notes and give my arpeggios a bit of extra "bounce". I can also route external audio through the MS-20 via the external input - or route the synth's own output in there(while using the headphone out as the "main" output) to overdrive the filters. You can also send seperate note CV to each oscillator - so it's not always strictly monophonic. It can't do everything - pulse width modulation is impossible without modifying the unit (or twiddling the pulse width control manually) - but it's astonishingly versatile for such a small and, seemingly, basic synth. At the price, this is a must-have analogue synth. The only real weakness compared to an original MS-20 is the 84% size keyboard - but if you're using a sequencer, or you connect any full size MIDI keyboard, that's not a problem. And I have fairly small hands, so I actually prefer the slightly smaller keyboard. There's a learning curve involved when you come to the patchbay, but it's not too steep and the sample patches in the manual make a good starting point. I had used Korg's plugin MS-20 on the PC for a couple of years, I loved the sounds but just used it by picking a preset that was close to what I wanted and tweaking it slighty. I didn't get into the patchbay at all. But after a couple of weeks of having the hardware version I was already feeling quite comfortable with the patch cables. Which makes it a great intro to modular synthesis too... Read more

Fantastic synth. It's not as solidly build as I would prefer but I wont be touring with it any time soon so as long as I handle it carefully I'm sure it will last a long time. And I do wish it had full sized keys but I guess we can't have everything. What I do love is having a resonant high pas filter before the low pas filter. That allows you to get a lot of very unique sounds out of this synth. The ring modulator setting is very cool too. Very nice sounding synth at a great price, highly recommended!! Read more

Totalmente recomendado supero mis espectativas. si estas pensando en introducirte al mundo de la sintesis esta es una gran opcion! Read more

But the biggest flaw is the 3.5mm outputs over 1/4 in. They break really easy sooooooo be gentle. Read more
