Korg MS20MINI Semi-Modular Analog Synthesizer USB MIDI

The Korg MS-20 Mini is a scaled-down reproduction of the iconic MS-20 semi-modular analog synthesizer that shaped electronic music throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. Every element of the analog signal path has been faithfully recreated: two voltage-controlled oscillators, the distinctive self-oscillating high-pass and low-pass filters known for their aggressive, gritty character, and the envelope generators and modulation routing that give the MS-20 its versatile sonic range. The 37 mini keys make it significantly more compact than the original, fitting easily into desktop studio setups where space is limited.

What sets the MS-20 Mini apart from many modern synthesizers is its semi-modular patch bay. While the synth produces sound without any patching, the array of patch points lets you reroute modulation, feed external audio through the filters via the ESP input, and create feedback loops and unconventional signal chains. The addition of USB MIDI and traditional 5-pin MIDI connectivity brings modern integration to this classic design, allowing you to sequence the MS-20 Mini from a DAW, use it alongside other MIDI gear, or simply play it from its own keyboard for hands-on analog exploration.
