The Korg MS-20 was originally released in 1978 and has become one of THE monophonic synthesizers to get for your collection. Since it was first discontinued in 1983, Korg has since made multiple revivals and reissues of the synth. The MS-20 Mini along with the full size MS-20FS are the current and top of the line in its long history. The MS-20 Mini has all of the classic MS-20 features including the patch bay, external signal processor, and the infamous filter, along with modern connectivity thanks to a 5 pin MIDI in and USB connectivity. This synth has no shortage of artists to back it up, boasting the names of Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, Matthew Bellamy of Muse, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Trent Reznor, and even has seen some action on William Orbit's Madonna productions.
