help Korg MS-20iC FAQ

Is the Korg MS-20 reissue the same size as the original 1978 synthesizer?

The Korg MS-20 mini, released in 2013, is approximately 86 percent of the original 1978 MS-20's size. The reissue uses smaller mini keys to accommodate the reduced footprint, which was a common point of discussion among players used to full-size keys.

Is the MS-20 reissue fully analog or does it use digital components?

The MS-20 mini reissue uses a fully analog signal path for both of its oscillators and filters, faithfully recreating the original's sound architecture. The MIDI implementation on the reissue is digital, allowing it to be controlled by external sequencers and controllers.

Does the Korg MS-20 reissue have a functional patch panel?

Yes, the MS-20 mini features a fully functional patch panel with the same routing options as the original, including the ability to process external audio through the filter section. Users can reroute signals using the included mini-patch cables just as on the 1978 version.

Does the MS-20 mini have MIDI input for sequencing?

Yes, unlike the original MS-20 which only had CV and gate connectivity, the MS-20 mini reissue includes a MIDI input port. This allows it to be played and sequenced directly from modern MIDI controllers, DAWs, and hardware sequencers.
