Korg MS-10 Patching Tutorial Part 1

[@swejnet]

Great tutorial and presentation. I'm deeply touched to be mentioned in the intro. /Dad

[@leoamari6619]

dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times you can stream all of the latest series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend recently =)

[@fisheralaric692]

@Leo Amari definitely, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :)

Great little synth. Got my first one in 1980 and had loads of fun in the band with it!

[@superdigital]

Never used the reverse out before. And I need to get myself some Y-cables. Cheers! :)

[@edwallace3704]

Superb tutorial , I bought an ms10 back in 93 and really wish I had videos like this back then to learn how to use it properly . I still have it in my fathers attic , gonna dig it out and dust it off and get back into using it , after watching this video .

[@MisAnnThorpe]

I hope you've recovered it from your attic. I've a good few synths (read: far too many!), including some that are considered classics and I can honestly say that I find the MS10 to be the most inspirational synth of them all. It was the synth that changed my mind entirely about mono synths. I went from owning entirely poly synths to owning 8 mono synths and ONLY 5 poly!

[@InvertedPopesMusic]

Just had my MS10 refurbished and it is back in business after years of sitting on the shelf and will now join in my modular journey. Great to recap on the patch bay. Learnt and remembered a lot. Will be watching more of your vids. Thanks for sharing.

[@notlars]

Thank you! Yeah I tend to revisit this little guy regularly. It's so simple and limited compared to later synths but I just love the sound of it. Good to hear you will be using your more again :)

[@trippingjurgen]

thanks man I really need it ....

[@ruuddekorte4541]

I had this machine for quite cheap at that time. It meant a lot to me at then. It's a quite of surprise that you don't show nothing new I'd found out at that time. So thanks for posting. :-) It's a confirmation that I could get rid of it for the same price.

[@notlars]

I'm actually planning a Part 3 this year with some things I've learnt since these two videos. Do you have any obvious patching tips from your past that I've missed?

[@Covid-19LabLeak]

@@notlars Drop part 3 this synth deserves it

[@soancar]

Nice tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@lara834]

Nice tutorial! I have a MON-10. It's a favorite synthesizers. I adore it!

[@Repousthmou]

Nice video, thanks! I want to add something that i have found by mistake on my MS-10: 1) Raise the Frequency Modulation MG knob 2) Connect the mod wheel output to the triangle modulation generator output (strange connection, isn't it? output to output). 3) Play with the mod wheel. Cool, Isn't it?

[@larsnetzel]

+o Alex That's really weird :) It's like you've moved the FM MG control to the modulation wheel but with a deeper range. Thanks for the tip man!

[@YardenZada]

Incredible Just found one with original custom made bag Also have a ms20 mini Learning a lot from the patch bay Always afraid of it😅

[@jimmydewit7319]

Great stuff, very inspiring! Can't wait to get my hands on my ms10 tomorrow. Thanks!

[@7umaca14]

+Jimmy Dewit same for me!

[@lnetzel]

+Jimmy Dewit Awesome, thank you! Hope you have gotten some cool sounds out of your :)

[@7umaca14]

good job, really! some tips are great .. to solve the big problem of synchronization, I also use to connect one of the two LFOs of the voyager XL to the cutoff frequency, and it works like the kenton .. by the way, I too have Kenton Pro Solo (2), but unpardonably I had never used its LFO .. I will ;-) ah, you can also keep the sound on while leaving the mod weel free.. I do not have the MS-10 here, but I think it's Initial Gain to Trigger In thanks for this video, the best MS-10 tutorial here!!!

[@notlars]

Well, not everybody owns a Voyager XL. I'm happy for you! About the mod wheel... dude, never though of it , thank you :) And thank you again for the kind words!

[@hugoverken]

Super! Thank you very much :)))

[@larsnetzel]

Thanx! You're very welcome!

[@wax83]

Cool video! One little thing though.. it doesnt matter if you use the reverse output of the envelope or the normal one for PWM as long as the PW control is at 50%! ;)

[@larsnetzel]

akos bacso In theory that of course make sense but how would you connect the output of the envelope to the PWM if not through the REV OUT? Have I missed something?

[@wax83]

Lars Netzel Ohh I see now! Of course youre true I didnt realize that the ms10's internal structure was made that way..

[@live2ride638]

thanks

[@Lea_Der_777]

Good video, thank you for that! The sounds in the video is a very clear and strong (in a good sense), but alot of Korgs ms-10 have a more dirty sounds... What a cable you use for general audio output of your ms-10? Your ms-10 have a 2 pins power cable or 3 pins (with a ground)? Do you use a step-down power converter and where are you from (it's about voltage in the country - 100/110/220/240 volts)? Sorry for my questions but sounds of your Korg is very good and I have a interest for your rig from power supply to audio interface.. P.S. And yea, Ms-10s was made in 1978-1981 (not 90's) :)

[@notlars]

My dad got it for me in early ninties, but yeah, obviously second hand :) I used an angled cable from Supreme Pro here. I have used budget cables as well and not heared much of a difference but now this made me want to compare... My MS-10 is a two pin (US-version I think) with no ground and then going through a big ass power converter to 220 volt Swedish power standard. The power converter actually looks older than the MS-10. Np, good questions Lea Der!

[@Lea_Der_777]

Not Lars , thank you for your answers! 2-pins power cables this is a standard version of Japan (in Japan - 2 flat pins and 100v), and your ms-10 without power/ground modifications. Audio cables have a different technical characteristics (resistance, inductance, etc.) and of course professional hi-end cables better - oxygen free, 95+% hum isolation, etc. - this is a good parametrs for the clear signal/good sound.. But the professional cables are different too in the sound quality and I was iterested for your model of cable, because sounds very good :) P.S. Good video and good answers - thank you for that :)

[@danalexpiano]

14:30 nice!

[@notlars]

Yeah, it's pretty cool :)

[@karbonkel9803]

I have a ms-10 but without the piano part. so I'm also missing the scroll thing. do you have any advice?

[@huronmusicnyc]

"Piano part" = The Keyboard? "Scroll thing" = Modulation Wheel?

[@larsnetzel]

I don't think there were any Korg MS-10 without a keyboard made. But if you mean the keyboard and modulation wheel on your MS-10 are broken I would advice you to get it fixed ;) OR, get a Midi->CV device and control it via external stuff.

[@rockymaldonado7758]

14:12 goddamn that is amazing. Can you do that without the external unit you are using?

[@notlars]

Thank you! For what I'm doing in the video, unfortunately not :/ External LFO is key.

[@dedotatedwandomaccessmemowy]

I'm fairly new to modular synths and I recently got an MS10. When it initially came I tried some patches that included the VCO and lowpass filter and they seemed to work fine. Later on I opened up the case to clean out the (extreme amount of) dust inside. When I reassembled it, I tried patching to the vco and lowpass but nothing is happened. Everything else works fine for the main knobs as far as I know. Any advice on how I should fix it? :( Great video regardless though!

[@notlars]

I have had to fix my device once, after it was dropped on the floor and not possible to turn on. A friend of a friend here in Gothenburg took care of it but I'm not comfortable enough to give any recomendations when it comes to fixing the electronics. Sorry dude, I hope you find somone that can help you. Ask your local music store if they know of anyone?
