How To: 90s Modular MS-20 Techno

I can't claim to be a techno guy, but this is CRAZY fun. I'm using the Korg MS-20 FS here. The MS-20 mini sounds just as good, I've owned and loved it as well. Be sure to check out this channel that has inspired me for years: ‪@IppeiTambata‬

Exactly what a tutorial should be. Brief but in depth, no monologue, fun, not dumbed down but not interminable.

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

I absolutely love this walk through. It has me bumping. 😊😊

[@-HumanOnEarth-]

Absolutely loved this video! I've been subscribed to Ippei Tambata for a quite a while, but until now he was really the only person on the internet for me to turn to in order to learn how to use this synthesizer, so it's nice to have found another useful source to add to my learning. I really hope to see more like this from you, I've subscribed and look forward seeing how else you use this synth in the future.

Thank you! Ippei is the king of MS-20 patching! I aspire to reach his level of mastery of the instrument someday.

[@qwetep6870]

great video! keep em comin need more like these

[@citadel314]

This beast of an instrument…always punching way above its weight. Full of sonic and modulation superlatives - and you really bring these to the fore. I thoroughly enjoy your sessions 🙏

[@TheSektorz]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing your process! Sure wish I had a way to sync my MS-20 to my DAW.

[@WaveDashMagazine]

Yeah it’s kind of a pain. If your daw has time stretching or quantization that’s what I’d recommend. I use Ableton and the complex warp mode to adjust the tempo to fit, and I think it sounds really good

[@Raven_of_Doom]

with help from this video (and I've watched many), I'm starting to understand things, thank you

[@IppeiTambata]

I really like it. Thanks for sharing.

[@KvetaURL]

love your stuff

[@user-lu4wb7jd3v]

Bravo !

[@user-bb3hm8ur8q]

it's magic！👍

[@antoineguilbeault8025]

thats great thhanks

[@dirckxd]

Keep up the demos. You show more in less than 15 min than most specialists do.

Crispy Bacon by Laurent Garnier is from a MS-20, research patch for that's Garnier sound but difficult to find

[@mauriciomandara5946]

More patch bay tutorials please! Great content!

[@studio48nl]

Nice patching! Going to try this soon! (original ms20, mkII)

[@olo1156]

🎉👍

[@dpalaoro]

Can you create those FM sounding sounds?

[@eti313]

7:27 sounds like it's saying "funny, funny, funny..."

[@xnslrzn]

this is great. however, no matter how many videos i watch, i fail to understand how the patching works.

[@SnoopLazeranake]

Such a great, eye-opening video!! Will have to give this a try. Is there a way to sync the tempo to a clock on the original Ms-20 that you know of?

[@WaveDashMagazine]

Thank you! Like to an external clock? You could go from your clock out to the envelope trigger in instead of having it trigger itself, I think that would be the way.

[@SnoopLazeranake]

@@WaveDashMagazine Yeah, that hit me when I was lying in bed last night! Think I’ll have to give it a try. This could open up a whole new world for me :)

[@WaveDashMagazine]

@@SnoopLazeranake awesome! Yeah it really would open things up

I have behringer K2 and wondering how Mini sounds next to it. K2 has a choice of 2 filters…old and modern…I have also seen a cimparison of mini with old ms-20…they sound different. Wondering how K2 old filter is close to the oryginal…but I use its modern filter more often…old is very noisy sometimes.

[@WaveDashMagazine]

One of my students had a K2, so I’ve actually used one kind of a lot. When comparing the same filter revisions, the k2 sounds pretty much indistinguishable from mini or the original to me. It really feels like an MS20. I don’t like the way Behringer does business but there’s no denying they nailed it with the K2. The sound is there

[@soyginna]

This pretty cool! have you tried to sync this to the Matriarch? Is that even posible? I guess it would involve using the SQ 1? And if so how to use it without loosing the richness of patterns you can get with the MS 20 running as free as possible?

[@soyginna]

Actually, I figured it out!

[@DJSTOEK]

🙂😷😷

[@MrDaigoRiki]

I don’t like the copy cat Behringer one. And I’ll never buy anything from Behringer.

[@WaveDashMagazine]

I love the original size. Gotta say, one of my students had a k2 and it sounded like a real one to me. I was surprised, I think there are a lot of bad sounding k2 demos on KZbin

[@Jedson66]

Do you feel difference beetwen an ms-20 FS and a Mini?

[@WaveDashMagazine]

Only in the feel, not in the sound. The FS size feels better to use, but the sound is the same

[@theboofin]

Well, the FS has the extra filter which is very quiet and very useful for certain patches. Having both filter types is a real advantage.
