The Korg MS-20: Patch Panel Part 1 (HQ)

Here is a higher-quality version of part one of the Korg MS-20 Patch Panel video.

A decade ago and still super useful 🙌

[@richardhetherington2837]

Have just got ms-20 mini and these movies are the best way to learn your way around these amazing instruments. Fantastic work man! Highly valued!

[@ianbcnp]

I too have just got hold of the iPad MS-20 app and have been struggling with the patch panel (despite having a stack of home made modules which are all patched). The way the Korg is neither fully modular nor fully hard wired, along with simple stubornness (such as calling the LFO a different name) all conspire to make it pretty confusing. So thank you for shedding some light and letting me at least start to learn how this rather amazing little app works.

I really appreciate your rundown of the many functions on the ms-20! I’m now gonna go fiddle with the synth now!

[@nikwax]

SO useful! SO much information, very clear and concise. Much appreciated!

[@deadwhenifoundher]

Incredibly useful, even for understanding the software version of this synth!

[@eisbaerbel]

Once again a great and professional tutorial, really enlightening a dead dark gym... Thanks a lot for your work !

[@teleman-11]

Thank you for these vids! Super helpful.

[@planetfrog2]

Not sure if you intended it, but you've become a great help for iPad IMS-20 users. Thank you!

[@InnerArtistMethod]

Great video. Fantastic to see such expertise combined with such enthusiasm. Very cool.

[@sonicultura]

Thanks so much Marc! I think you are great for the whole synth community! Cheers!

[@automaticgainsay]

Thank you!

[@sysexstudio]

Great video. Helped me out with my iMS-20 iPad app. I understand and like modular synth cable patching abilities, but it's great to have a tutorial on the I/O functionality to have a starting point for your own patches. Thanks a bunch!

[@kingpishful]

You can use the amp from the ESP to attenuate the noise, keeping the wheel free.

[@AxisChemicals]

Use the esp to control the volume AND match the timbre (lpf/hpf) of pink/white noise will free your modwheel for other purpose and dial with the nicest noise, just learned that from another video but I'm pretty sure you know it already ! Thanks 4 all your videos they are great

[@charlesbalcony]

Thanks for these. It's a complicated synth to figure out deprived of a manual.

[@meezanook3859]

connecting anything to see what happens has created some awesome sounds for my songs but I could never explain how I got there thank you..

[@prodigalretrod]

Super helpful thank you!

[@automaticgainsay]

Thank you!

[@charlesbalcony]

@AutomaticGainsay I did find one with no specifics on patching though. Either way, seeing it hands on is helpful, keep up the vids!

[@ghostsamurai-u1e]

thank you !

[@HotRodTypewriter]

Seeing how pro this guy sounds running thru all the patches makes me want to buy iMS and learn it. I watched all six videos on ms 20 and it sounds like fun. I owned a radio shack 'moog' a year ago but sold it for rent. I used it to learn basic subtractive synth. I was always wanting more with it as it was pretty limited. I was wondering how the iPad ms goes about using the external patch filter. Looks like the third jack top row. I wonder if there is a way to use it on the iPad or did they repl

Hi Marc ..Thanks ..no arguement from me..lol...I should clarify by saying as partial trade....Maybe you will do a performance video sometime ..to see you perform an original would ba a treat. on whatever synth or instrument you choose.

[@KossBert]

You never did a CS-50 demo, that would have been awesome

[@limeyamos]

all that patching to control the noise source is kind of hilarious.

[@BobIGomez]

I guess the only competition now days would be the Mini XL...I would consider the MS-20 in trade for my harpsichord...should you or anyone be interested..

[@Desmaad]

Since you seem to enjoy semi-modular synths so much, why not fully modular ones?

[@Hyper5nic]

Most excellent! ;-) Will you be uploading new video's on analog (semi-modular) synths anytime soon?

[@artistsamples7322]

Super helpful thanks !!

[@BendApparatus]

Odd question... The mod wheel on the MS20&mini... It's OUTPUT is internally hardwired to the VCA's input correct?(EDIT actually now thinking about it, more than likely it's not that simple since the Mod wheel's output is probably internally patched to just about everything) With the plug on the patchbay being a simple mono input. The reason I ask is because Behringer dropped it completely from their clone the K2... thought they kept the momentary button. If I were to add say a simple photoresistor with both an input and output patch... Would that serve as a makeshift modulation wheel? Since I could route it's output to the VCA's external input...

[@jakayboy]

Do you know of any books/online references for ms-20 patches?

[@noise2539]

can't imagine how was the low quality video XD

[@automaticgainsay]

You mean “high,” and you can’t imagine it because you’re probably 13, and don’t know that at varying points in KZbin’s history, it had stringent size and length limitations.

[@stephenstrang590]

HQ?

[@automaticgainsay]

Well, you see, back when the original video was originally created and posted, there were severe limits on video size and length. It was a long time ago. When this version of this video was uploaded, those limitations had loosened, allowing the video to be uploaded in its original size. This video was uploaded a decade ago. The "HQ" was a means of distinguishing this video from its smaller preceding video.

This guy has to stop coffee

[@automaticgainsay]

This guy doesn’t drink coffee

[@paulstraszewski736]

(HQ) a joke? 480p 👎

[@automaticgainsay]

I’m SO sorry! I’m also certain that you’re too young to know what KZbin was like when this video was released. Lastly, I’m sorry that you’re incapable of learning from something that can’t be splashed on a 4K screen.
