Korg MS-20 Mini Review

Here’s a look of the new Korg MS-20 Mini, via CDM’s Peter Kirn.

Kirn is impressed with the MS-20 Mini:

“If you’re in the market for a monosynth, the MS-20 mini deserves strong consideration. There are other interesting monosynth keyboards out there, but the MS-20′s modular patch bay and distinctive sound and filter set it apart. And none of the others can lay claim to being a bit of history in the way the mini does.”

See Kirn’s full review of the MS-20 Mini at the CDM site. He also compared the MS-20 Mini to the original, and says “the original is worse!”
