Back and smaller than ever, Korg's MS-20 Mini analog synthesizer revives the legendary MS-20 synth in all of its glory, but at 86% of the original size. This is no copycat knockoff either ? the MS-20 Mini is nearly identical to the original, with the same analog oscillators, first-generation filters, and a VCA that's been tweaked to reduce noise. You'll also find cool new additions onboard the Korg MS-20 Mini, including MIDI in and USB connectivity.

Why Buy Your Keyboard From Sweetwater? | Daniel Fisher


Just like the original, only smaller and cleaner





It's no secret that technology's gotten a lot smaller since the late '70s, so when Korg decided to bring the MS-20 back, they decided to drop down the scale, making the MS-20 Mini exactly 86% the size of the original. Best of all, they did it without changing any of the core components, with the exception of the voltage controlled amp (VCA), which they tweaked to be less noisy. They even shrank down the MS-20 Mini's patchbay, trading the 1/4" phono jacks for 1/8" mini jacks to make extra room.





External signal processor unlocks a world of creative options





Plug your guitar or microphone directly into the Korg MS-20 Mini and start tweaking. You won't believe the fun and funky sounds you can come up with. Utilizing the MS-20 Mini's external signal processor (ESP) section, you can use almost any sound source to control the pitch or volume of this incredibly flexible synth. It's all possible with the MS-20 Mini.





Onboard MIDI and USB lets you connect all your music gear





Here's something die-hard synth nuts would have given an arm and a leg for back in 1978: advanced connectivity via MIDI and USB. With its MIDI in port, you can easily incorporate your Korg MS-20 Mini into your live keyboard rig or add a full-sized keyboard to gain access to a much wider note range. USB opens up even greater possibilities, allowing you to integrate your MS-20 Mini with the rest of your studio DAW.
