Let' confront the two synthesizers from Korg:
the original MS-20 from 1978 INFO
the remake Mini MS-20 from 2013 INFO
TEST note: my Ms20 is fully working and calibrated. The test is approximative since the pot values between the machine are different.
note also that the Ms20 is 40 years old, and some component may now sound different: today two original Ms20 won't sound the same.
Files are wav non compressed, volume gains are matched.
