First introduced in 1978, Korg's MS-20 monophonic synthesizer is still sought after today for its full, powerful sound and iconic analog filter. Along with the original product, over 300,000 people have enjoyed the MS-20's wonderful sounds with Korg's MS-20 synth plugin or the iMS-20 iPad app.

Today, the MS-20 sounds are reborn in hardware form: the MS-20 Mini! The same engineers who built the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced the MS-20's circuitry, keeping the original appearance and fitting it into an 86% smaller body.

MS-20 Mini will fascinate you with its genuine analog synth sound.

Key Features:

* Exact replica of the original MS-20's engineers' work on analog circuitry.

* 2VCO / 2VCA / 2VCF / 2EG / 1LFO structure

* Self-oscillator, high pass/low pass filters with unique distortion

* External signal processor (ESP)

* Patching system with excellent flexibility

* Body reduced to 86% of original size

* MIDI IN and USB connection
