What’s Newĭubbed the MS-20 FS (full size), the new MS-20 is essentially a preassembled version of the 2014 kit, although now available in four different colours: original black, white, blue, and green. Now, in 2020, we finally get an official re-release of the original bad boy himself. The Mini was soon joined by the MS-20 Kit in 2014 and the keyboardless MS-20M kit in 2015.
It, in turn, was extremely popular and helped kick off not only the analogue synth craze of the 2010s but also the re-release and clone trend that continues unabated to this day. Dubbed the MS-20 Mini, it was an 86% sized reproduction of the original, albeit with minijacks and mini-keys.
In 2013, Korg made the unprecedented move of re-releasing one of its own instruments. Popular at the time, it has only gained in notoriety throughout the decades for its aggressive sound and downright nuts filter.Įven if that were the end of the story, it would be a pretty interesting one. The instrument, which has been used by everyone from Hardfloor and Aphex Twin, to Air and Stereolab, and on to Front 242 and Skinny Puppy, was Korg’s first big breakthrough after a number of more esoteric synthesizers. Korg’s MS-20, a semi-modular dual-oscillator monosynth, was released in 1978 and was only in production for five years. Can it still hold its own amidst the clones and competition? Korg finally release the full-size version of their classic monosynth, the MS-20.
