Korg MS-20 FS is a full-size monophonic analog synthesizer that faithfully recreates the sound, feel, and circuitry of the legendary late-70s MS-20. It delivers the iconic aggressive filters, semi-modular architecture with an extensive patch bay, and the classic 2VCO / 2VCA / 2VCF / 2EG / 1LFO signal path, making it a powerful choice for basses, leads, sound effects, and experimental textures.
Korg MS-20 FS is a 1:1 full-size reissue manufactured by Korg, featuring a 37-key full-size keyboard and meticulously recreated analog electronics. The instrument offers two revisions of the legendary MS-20 filter (early and late), an External Signal Processor for processing external audio sources, and a flexible patching system that lets you use the MS-20 FS as a semi-modular centerpiece. With MIDI IN and USB connectivity, it integrates seamlessly into modern DAW-based studios while remaining a purely analog sound engine.
