Description

Video clips & Audio were made by me. For sale is a used Korg MS-20 Mini.  A 2013 re-release of the 1979 legendary Korg analog synthesizer. It is 14% smaller and sounds exactly like the iconic original without the vintage price tag.  This one was purchased brand new in 2014 and was my 1st analog synth. At the time it went for $600.  It has definitely been used but not abused.  Unfortunately, with the continuous expansion of my synth gear, lately it just sits there.  

It sounds incredible. It absolutely deserves its legendary status. Since it is analog, it has a wonderful warm, electric, and alive characteristic sound that isn't found in digital synths.  Bass sounds are fantastic! And with a few knob twists and some patching this thing can scream or produce psychedelic 70's tones. It can even sound like a literal thunderstorm or a cello yes it's that awesome. It excels in sound exploration. Those patch sounds and many more are in the included manual.

Synthesizer comes with power supply, a few manuals and patch charts, original 10 patch cords for the patchbay, and original box.  I'd be happy to answer any questions.
