Over 300,000 people have enjoyed the distinct MS-20 sounds from the original, from Korg s MS-20 plug-in synth, or the iMS-20 iPad app.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, the sounds of the MS-20 have been reborn in hardware, as the MS-20 Mini. The same engineers who developed the original MS-20 have perfectly reproduced its circuitry and fit into a body that s been shrunk to 86% of the original size, yet retains the distinctive look of the original. \u003cbr\u003eThe MS-20 mini will amaze you with its absolutely authentic analog synth sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MS-20 mini painstakingly replicates the original MS-20. A development team led by the original engineers themselves worked to recreate the original circuitry, and when it was necessary to substitute a part, these engineers made the decisions based on careful listening, in order to reproduce the original sound faithfully. In fact, the sound of the MS-20 mini has a somewhat bright and extreme quality to it because its sound is that of an original MS-20 in mint condition at the time it went on sale, before any of the components aged.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight:bold;\"\u003e2VCO \/ 2VCF \/ 2VCA \/ 2EG \/ 1LFO structure\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe MS-20 mini reproduces the distinctive synthesis of the MS-20; two oscillators with ring modulation, and envelope generators with hold and delay.
