KORG MS2000 custom sounds (part 2)

[@kobalt77]

One of the best synth demos I have seen, well done Sir !! ................. amazing clear loud sound.

[@gwugluud]

This is such a great synth and I've had mine since 2001. No end to the sounds. It seems to want to default to one basic kind of soundrange, but you just start twisting knobs and you're in your own land in no time...

[@markussamnell6408]

I bought this quite cheap and it took me some time to warm up to it. I was going to sell it but then I realised it was not anything wrong with the machine just my skills...

[@varoennauraa]

In a sudden raged angst of seeing synths go to a direction I don't like I forgot to mention the most important thing: Loved your demos!

[@paulbuswell6566]

I've got 4 of these. 1 MS2000 and 3 MS2000R, 2 are still faulty. DSP chips! (I repair synths) The MS2000 is a keeper. Very under rated synths.

Someone already did/does. It's called the Korg KRONOS. It has multiple, analog & physical modeling engines with virtual patching, 16 assignable knobs & sliders, (19 if the assignable data slider, wheel & master volume are included) a 4-way, vectoring joystick (+ regular, assignable, pitch bend & modulation) & a ribbon controller. It also has Krama (like an evolving, appregiator), a 16 track sequencer & 16 track DAW slaved to the sequencer. 16 Effects processors (12 insert, 2 master & 2 "total")

the b has some diff presets i think, built in (mountable) vocoder mic and it's black. Other than that - no difference. I prefer the blue one anyway and I don't like the look of it with the mic mounted on and with it off the XLR jack looks messy on top of the surface - small things perhaps :) Good sounding VA btw and great fun to use! Much prefer it to all the other VAs I've had.

[@chicoandtheman7599]

Awesome sounds! I can't wait to get a MS2000. If all goes well, I'll have a MS200B at the end of next week. (*crossing my fingers*)

[@Greeneyez720]

I have to agree, synths started to devolve lately, they are taking the knobs away and replacing them with fancy screens. If I need a friggin big screen, I just hook up my computer, knobs bring instantaneous creativity screens just make my head hurt.

[@chicoandtheman7599]

Knobs are expensive to manufacture. But you're right. The same thing happened in the early 1980's, when transitioning from analog to digital synths. They did away with the knobs/real time control. Then demand dictated it's return. But there are a lot of synths that have many knobs/sliders. You don't see as many dedicated controls, but many synths have a lot of assignable controls. My Korg Kronos has like 18 or 19, assignable knows/sliders, which you can assign to control any parameter. Dedicated controls may be cooler, but assignable are just as efficient.

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

@@chicoandtheman7599 Exactly! That's why we need companies like Behringer that can make their nut with their core synth offerings and also work on labor-of-love synths like the UB-Xa--which will probably take until 2020 but will likely be waaaaaay more affordable than a classic Oberheim and even the latest DSI boards.

[@argiraselene7907]

Great sounds , lovely video

[@JackOasys]

I'm finishing work, the sounds will be on sale soon.... thanks!

[@tyebillion]

One of the more analogue sounding VAs.

[@lucaosini5681]

You are Amazing...!!!! Great sound

[@JackOasys]

Grazie mille, scusa il ritardo della risposta... ;-)

[@rinascimentale1]

Grande Giacomo, se tutto va bene mi arriva nei prossimi giorni e lo abbino ad un Waldorf Q.Grazie delle demo e saluti.....

[@JackOasys]

Grazie e te e buon divertimento. Tra MS2000 e WaldorfQ immagino che ti diletterai con la musica eletronica... :-) hai di che sperimentare...

[@janne-mikaeljarvinen8593]

3:28 [Stairs pad] almost made me cry (in a good way) 😥🙂 Great synth in proper hands ! (I have MS2kBr).

[@camillem.8668]

are these patches still available ? I love the sound at 13:50

[@JackOasys]

thanks a lot! :-)

[@williekrz]

Where's Part III? I want to hear the vocoder stuff!

[@Kekke466]

Really well tweaked, they don't sound well stock. Are you sharing those patches?

[@DJIskren]

best part starts at 03:29

[@ish233]

Nice

[@drjwproject]

ciao jack, per caso questo synth ha banchi vuoti su cui memorizzare varie combination personalizzate?

[@JackOasys]

No, ha banchi tutti pieni con i suoni originali, nessun banco vuoto. Devi salvarti i preset originali e poi sovrascriverli... il tutto attraverso file Sysex via Midi

[@drjwproject]

Grazie! File sysex sarebbe? In pratica sovrascrivi i preset e una volta riacceso, mi ritrovo il preset customizzato,giusto?

[@djnoriega]

hey bro. whats the difference between this machine and ms2000b? can you save projects or sequences on either machine? thanks

[@coleashmore]

does anybody have any tips on making a realistic glockenspiel or xylophone patch, or know where I should start?

[@OIOcellOIO]

A lot of these sounds are stock. I own one of these...

[@varoennauraa]

I love Korg, but I FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU**NG hate, that they took the sequencer and knobs away from the KingKorg!!! I so much wanted to see this kind of synth evolving, but in my eyes it started to devolve. Quickly some one, make a synth with lots of knobs and a sequencer! ...perhaps even an analog-like workstation with audio tracks and all...

[@annthorpe8411]

This is quite a beautiful looking synthesizer apart from those clumsy looking flashing, square lights just above the keys. Also feel that the very thin "wooden" end cheeks give a clue as to this synths sound. All of the plastic controls on it are very cheap looking also. If it sounded as good as it looks it would be a very special synth indeed. Unfortunately I don't believe it does. That said, they seem to be increasing in price and desirability all the time. I'll stick with my Roland JX10 though!

[@wotdafunk]

its a very early analog modelling digital synth... Ive owned one for 10 years now, it takes a little work, but you can get some amazing analog sounding pads and leads from it... the sub-bass is among the deepest i have heard. Regarding the aesthetic, its a fairly solid build, the wood gives it a real 70's vibe

[@blakedaymusic4734]

+Ann Thorpe best analog modeling synth i've ever played. sounds as good as it looks and then some. I find the korg engines sound warmer and more analog than roland. roland is great too but has a brassier sound. and the square lights are for the sequencer! This synth not only sounds incredible but has a built-in drum machine! something that is hard to find in any new synth, especially anything analog. Seriously, never had such a good time playing a synth other than a real analog, but this thing is a fraction of the price, and has a vocoder (and sequencer!). The desirability and value increases are very justified. These will probably be worth over a grand in a few years.

[@paulbuswell6566]

@@blakedaymusic4734 Just to add. This synth does NOT have a built in drum machine. I have 4 of them. (don't ask)
