KORG MS-20-Mini — Synthesizer
The Korg MS-20 mini is a 5/8-scale reissue of the 1978 MS-20, a monophonic analog semi-modular synthesizer. It reproduces the original's dual-VCO architecture, resonant high-pass and low-pass filters, two envelope generators, and a modulation generator, all exposed on a patch panel for modular-style routing.

Description
The Korg MS-20 mini is a 5/8-scale reissue of the 1978 MS-20, a monophonic analog semi-modular synthesizer. It reproduces the original's dual-VCO architecture, resonant high-pass and low-pass filters, two envelope generators, and a modulation generator, all exposed on a patch panel for modular-style routing. The 37-note mini keyboard spans three octaves (C–C). Connectivity includes USB-MIDI (Type B) and MIDI In for note data, a mono 1/8" audio output, and a headphone jack. An external signal processor lets the filter and envelope track external audio. It ships with an AC adaptor and ten patch cables.
