• during a period considered by many to be the golden age of analog synthesizers. This was a blessing and curse; these instruments had never been more in vogue
• but there was also plenty of competition. Surprisingly
• the MS-20 was preceded by a range of polyphonic instruments
• KORG’s PS Series. The company wanted to cram as much functionality into as little space as possible
• something that was notoriously difficult with analog polysynths. It was this design principle
• however
• that led them to creating an accompanying monosynth - enter MS-20. Embrace The Scream Many analog synthesizers are known for their warm
• organic response. Semi-modular machines are often associated with sound design flexibility.
