New MS20? (Page 1 of 2)

Hope it has PWM

Hmm, I was hoping more that they would release some kind of ultracheap monotron XL miniature keyboard with midi.
But this is not bad either.

No PWM like the origional.
1 Volt/Oct tracking on the vco's and S-Trigger input.
That's awesome.

But Buchla did show a new Music Easel.

Meanwhile, at the Roland booth...

But a great job from Korg!

wait until it's released, then pick one up second hand from someone who realizes it won't make all their wub-wub dreams come true

Old MS-20s is gonna get super hyped by these no doubt so take out your wallets and buy as many 1200 euro MS-20 as possible if you wanna make a dollar and a dime. Even if the new ones are better than the original (zero chance of that) they will hype up the classic ones in the end.

considering how successful this will be, surely roland will also want a piece of this market now

You have to admire the way Korg have developed this. Introducing Low cost "toys" so the R&D teams can iron out all the problems and really see if there is serious interest in releasing bigger synth. Once the Monotron and Mono-tribe were in production they had already worked out supply chains and sourcing components.. Such a good business model.
