Get an MS20 Mini! (sound examples why!)

Post by tpantano »

This synth is seriously insane. Mine came in 3-4 months late, but I still love it.

Here's a tiny ambient piece I made for experimentation, all synths are MS-20 (with Logic's reverbs/delays) and percussion is just Apple Loops:

It's fantastic for gritty thematic noises (again some Logic plugins and Trash 2 were also used):

And fun for angry robotic sci-fi movie noises!

I'm gunna be having a lot of fun with this :-)

No idea how close MS20 mini is to the original, but listen to this:

So you bought one?

I'm tempted but with the digital version already being in the Kronos, and in poly, with patch recall..

And then on the iPad and the Computer too... I don't know. I'm wondering if there's a limit to how much MS20-ness can occupy a single space and time?

This limit doesn't exist :)

The mini is much more hands on than the others, well worth having.

Another cool thing about the mini is that it's small enough to fit in most overhead lockers on planes. This is a definitely plus for me.
