Hey,
i got probably stupid question but i cant figure this out.
I would like to know how to play mini without connecting to mac and legacy software?
And if this is not possible, can you suggest me some other program for mac to play mini?
It sucks because i have got Korg legacy collection but cant find my product code.. there is nothing at the CD box.

thank you .)

There are two different products...

The MS20 Mini is a standalone synthesizer that you can just plug headphones or whatever straight in to. Has nothing to do with a computer at all. It has USB but pretty much only for the keyboard notes and the controllers don't even send any MIDI messages.

The MS20ic on the other hand was a limited edition USB MIDI controller to go with the original Korg Legacy Collection software. It's not sold any more although you can buy the plugin online from Korg's product user website. We have a seperate section of the forum for that product down towards the bottom of the index page.

Well it's a controller so you can use it to play any softsynth. But you won't necessarily get all the features or an intuitive mapping of controls.

You could buy the MS20 plugin/softsynth on its own from korguser.net

Btw if you're in the UK and decide to sell your MS20ic, I would be interested Wink

if you say: But you won't necessarily get all the features

I dont really know what this should mean. Does it mean that some knobs wont do any? or if a attach cables it wont work? can you explain please?

Can you suggest me any free softwere synth for playing my ms20iC? (mac 10.6.8 )
because Iam not really into giving another 50 dollars for software (i allready got)

(I bought this synt from ebay with legacy collection. I didnt really know its gonna be without activation code.)

you are really helping me there, thank you x-trade

and right now iam not considerring selling, not even from UK Confused
