King KORG Analog Synthesizer, 3 Oscillators, 2 Timbres, 61 Keys & New MINI MS-20

[asynchro_nous]

That actually looks authentic

[SonicBern]

Lets hope the price is in Argentinian Currency as it says:

Precio: $ 9,127.30

Which would be 1861.15 USD if so

IKEA King Korg

But seriously - what? where? when?
Edit: oh ok...

Nope, ttill confused...

''arriving February''

I just found on another page, with analog Korg stuff but also the R3 so they may mean VA not RA.. The grill maybe for valve force rather than RA cooling. Can't wait ;-)

MS-20 monophonic synthesizer MINI 37 Mini Keys

arriving
April







And another from the same site...

[paugui]

Unfortunately I think it's another VA.

It says XMT there, while the Radias uses MMT, Multiple Modeling Technology, so my guess is that XMT stands for Xtreme Modeling Technology, or something like that...
But I don't think it will stand for analog, despite I think they should seriously make a polyphonic analog synth.

Still, it will be Korg's first VA with 3 oscillators per voice.
Let's hope it will still be a cool synth, at least the Radias, MS2000 and Z1 are all pretty good VA synths

Yep. That XMT is a giveaway...

[Starspawn]

Thats just the MS20ic surely?

[SonicBern]

The MS 20 is Precio: $ 4,522.00 once again if local currency that would be 922.29 US Dollars

Now that does look like the old legacy controller for the software but an led is in a different place, here is a pic of the legacy:

I have that already, as "Analog Legacy" plugins and that mini-MS20 usb controller. It's fun. I wonder if the "embarked" version sound any different.

[Starspawn]

What they need is proper pitch to cv/midi/whatever in the patch bay like the old one, I got bored with connecting the MS20ic to the PC all the time and only having the one allowed input place ... it even limited the rests function when you used it.
Like a lonely modular, never allowed to play with the other modulars that share patches.
Cant see the point in buying it if all it does is the same as the IPad/PC software.

[plaid_emu]

No, no! That's supposed to be in a new desktop/rackmountable Electribe with a sequencer, not a in keyboard shell!

[asynchro_nous]

X = hybrid

Another pic showing the Mini MS20:



It also has panel screws like the bigger original but not on the legacy controller.

I suspect the Analog electronics would fit, so it may well be a full RA...

[marino]

Grunt. I was really expecting an all-analog Monotron Pro, with 3 VCOs, a couple of filters, 2 LFOs, and 2 or 3 ADSRs.... add some decent mod routings, and I'd buy it, even if hasn't any other feature. Not even sync. Not even MIDI!
Don't care if it's noisy. Perhaps with built-in speakers and battery operation. The most fun synth in history.

Well if it is full RA, it will be different but almost the same as the original

[cane creek]

NAMM is going to be fun, a analogue mini MS-20 bring it on, maybe korg were testing the water after all with their monotron/tribes

People will bitch that it "doesn't sound like the original."

Guaranteed.

Yeah, it could be a real analog after all. It wouldn't make sense if it was just an MS 20 controller with one instance of the Legacy plugin inside, for 1000 US $

Why these mini keys from Korg? Makes a good instrument be a toy

if real, this is the perfect continuation of the Montron/Monotribe and Micro series that Korg has been selling.

Oh boy the BIG 3 Roland, Yama, and Korg just don't get it do they? Seems like they don't understand what people really want.

Actual price is 1400 usd. 695 usd for the MS20. Pesos should be divided by 6.5, not the official exchange, but street exchange.

[djugel]

This thread is confusing? What's real? What has mini-keys?

Huh?

Are you kidding me? A 2 VCO semi-modular version of the Monotribe synth in a compact case with mini keys for under a grand?

YES PLEASE.

At least it's not a ribbon

Fine with me if they release something ms20-like for 700usd. I wonder what the build quality will be like if this is for real.

[cresshead]

"arriving April" - let me guess...errr April 1st?

Too bad the rack format has died. Free non-professional Chinese keyboard with every purchase!

It's almost cheap enough to take a hacksaw to. Almost.
