I can get some pretty awesome howls, and sounds from this puppy. Not 100% happy with bass-sounds but great for almost everything else.
Pros:
* It's an MS-20 - you know what this one is all about.
* Primitive MIDI - the original had none.
Cons:
* I wouldn't tour with it. In fact, you should baby it since the construction is not confidence-inspiring.
* I wish at least the main output plug was an 1/4" and not the delicate 1/8" plugs.
Overall, I'm VERY pleased with this buy and my music sounds SO MUCH BETTER now than with the soft-synth plug-ins.

So much fun
I love this thing ❤️! Just one day with it and ive made duck noises, thunder, ocean waves, turned my kalimba into a dope chiptune drum. This has been so much fun. I know im just scratching the surface but probably my favorite instrument yet. Im thinking my future has alot more synths in it.

With the patchbay, it opens up even more. Oscillator 1 gives you a choice of triangle, saw, pulse and noise. But if you want, say, sawtooth waveforms from both oscillators you can also patch noise in from the patchbay. Plus you get a choice of white or pink noise. You can even patch the noise in via the external signal processor to let you control it's volume and tone. You can access the Sample and Hold, the pulse wave output from the LFO; or inverted envelopes from both Envelope generators. And you can patch your modulation sources to either, or both, filters - or use them for frequency modulation. And the patchbay is the only way you an access the mod wheel and momentary switch located to the left of the keyboard.
Another level of performance comes if you connect external units - maybe a sequencer. Via MIDI you can only transmit Note messages, whereas I'm using mine with a Beatstep Pro sequencer, sending CV & Gate for each note to the MS-20's Oscillator CV & Trigger in; but also routing the note's velocity to the filter cutoff frequency so I can accentuate certain notes and give my arpeggios a bit of extra "bounce". I can also route external audio through the MS-20 via the external input - or route the synth's own output in there(while using the headphone out as the "main" output) to overdrive the filters. You can also send seperate note CV to each oscillator - so it's not always strictly monophonic. It can't do everything - pulse width modulation is impossible without modifying the unit (or twiddling the pulse width control manually) - but it's astonishingly versatile for such a small and, seemingly, basic synth.
At the price, this is a must-have analogue synth. The only real weakness compared to an original MS-20 is the 84% size keyboard - but if you're using a sequencer, or you connect any full size MIDI keyboard, that's not a problem. And I have fairly small hands, so I actually prefer the slightly smaller keyboard. There's a learning curve involved when you come to the patchbay, but it's not too steep and the sample patches in the manual make a good starting point. I had used Korg's plugin MS-20 on the PC for a couple of years, I loved the sounds but just used it by picking a preset that was close to what I wanted and tweaking it slighty. I didn't get into the patchbay at all. But after a couple of weeks of having the hardware version I was already feeling quite comfortable with the patch cables. Which makes it a great intro to modular synthesis too...
