MS-20 software synthesizer

Since the MS-20 went on sale in 1978, this semi-modular monophonic synthesizer has enjoyed unbroken popularity for its thick and solid sound, aggressive analog filters, and inexhaustible potential for creative patching.

With two oscillators (which can be ring-modulated), high-pass/low-pass self-oscillating filters with unique distortion, and a patch section with an external signal processor that can accommodate external audio input, the MS-20 software synthesizer provides a complete simulation of its legendary original. In addition, it gives you modern advantages such as up to 32 voices of polyphony and up to 16-voice unison (with detune/spread function). Flexible external modulation settings and MIDI clock synchronization have also been added, giving you even greater creative potential.

Along with the provided Programs, a number of templates are included providing instant setups for running audio through the filter and other commonly-used functions.

MS-20 Controller included

Also included is a USB-MIDI controller that reproduces the original MS-20 at 84% size, with the addition of a velocity-sensitive mini-keyboard. From the shape of the knobs, the way in which the LEDs blink, the panel silk-screening, right down to the color of the included patch cords, the MS-20 Controller perfectly replicates the original MS-20. Simply connect it to your computer via USB, then turn the knobs and use the patching facilities for complete realtime control of the MS-20 software.
