Damn, I came here while searching for ms20 mini patches - and of all places a berhinger clone review has one of the most comprehensive (and well explained) list of creative ms20 patch ideas I have found.. Well done haha.
Yeah-same. Arranging finances now for new K-2 to discuss with Boss in the morning. If I do the coffee ok, and she digs the pancakes, I’m half way home bruh! 😲😀👍😆
I've had an first-version MS-20 (with the Korg 35 filter) for over 20 years and can't believe how much I learned from your vid - it's the best MS20 instructional vid I've ever seen. Thank you! Bummer they didn't add a few extra things that I actually did as mods to mine (hard sync of VCO 1 and 2 and also CV PWM input), which add a huge amount of sounds to it. Great vid!!!!
Really love loopop's rational, complete synth reviews. He has such a soothing voice. And that jam at the start and the end, I could listen to that for hours... You have a channel to hear what you make, mr loopop?
@@loopop what?! You do NOT sound like you've never released any music... such unused synthesis mega-talent!!! I hope to hear from you: ambient, refined psytrance, synthwave, and melodic techno :)
That ESP Osc surprised me, I have the MS20 mini and it never occurred to me to try that. As well as the bitcrushing effect that was awesome dude! There's another method of getting a tunable osc by plugging the Env1 Rev out into the Env1 trig in, then plugging the Env1 out into your parameter. The delay attack and release control tuning, but your method is much more stable. Keep up the great work!
SUPER helpful. I picked up the MS20 mini recently and think it's on its way to becoming one of my favorites but there are some things that I just didn't quite get and this has clarified all of that. As usual, great work. Many thanks.
Compliments to the most professional UA-cam blogger about electronica music instruments! He knows what he is talking about! It would be even nicer if you show the parallels and differences between the original MS-20 and the K-2. I prefer the “creamy” sound from the MS-20.
HOLODECK PROJECT The "creamy" sound is probably the new filter. You can toggle between the old and the new filter types on the front panel of the K-2. The MS-20 Vintage is of course hard-wired with one of these filters. With the MS-20 FS you toggle between the filters by holding down the bottom three keys while booting up the unit. The MS-20 Mini has only the old filter. It is much more aggressive, raw and noisy, but doesn't have this "creamy" quality.
A most excellent video! I would like to add that both filters at self-resonance can be tracked to V/octave, and with external control from CV/OCD (Mutant Brain) low note /high note, you can play 2 notes of self-oscillation. The MS-20/K2 is quite the versatile beast. Another way I get paraphony is to route the USB on the MS-20Kit to a KentonUSB2MIDI into a CV OCD Low Note Priority for HZ/V output and then feed CV to the VCO2 CV input. No trigger is required as the keybed provided this. As the MS-20Kit is high note, VCO1 will be the highest note, but Kenton provided notes will control VCO2 for the low notes. Of course on one note which is both high note and low note, both VCOs will sound.
I’ve now got 3 old iPods loaded up with loopop’s vids on 3 of my synths- Modal’s Cobalt, Model D, and just got Neutron. On each iPod I have Loopop’s tips & tricks for that synth. Next, going for the K-2! 😃 Patch info, even sales receipts 😄 Works well!
Great review but it should be noted @ 4:40 - this was Korg's own design from around 1978... back when engineers were engineers and musicians also needed to be engineers. :-)
Always loved the MS-20 patchbay schematic. With all the hidden routing of the Behringer Neutron ("where's that PWM coming from ?") I wish it too had one.
Most helpful to an old Roland junkie getting his head around this iconic mystery. It's nice that I finally get it(having gotten one)👍🎛👌. I managed to memorize the control surface layout rather quickly, I can navigate by feel which is great. Not for the easily frustrated though. 🤕
Got one of these from Sweetwater last week. It was not my first choice of Behringer synths, but at $199 and that I can plug my guitar into it, it became my first choice pretty quickly. 😁 Sounds great, but a bit clueless on how to use it, which is why I'm here. Thanks for the great video! 👍
Nicely done, very detailed. I already have the Neutron and Crave, but have been taking a close look at the K-2, deciding if I really want to devote more $ to this collection. Your video may have further convinced me to go in that direction, but even if not, many thanks for posting this.
I had one of those Korg ms 20 controllers with the software that came out about 15 years ago, and it could sound pretty wild. Now I 😊just got one of the above versions, and know I understand what all the functions are. I almost wish I didn’t, because before, I would just do random patches that would sound insane hahah . Great overview, and knowing what the ESG section does is really great
Looking forward to your review of DivKid/Instruo ochd module in the near future. I love Ben’s intuitive module design/ideation. He really approaches modules from a user’s perspective: straightforward, nice-to-have feature sets in an uncomplicated box.
The Korg MS20M has the same switchable filter version feature. The switch for the filter version is located similarly. So in a way, the Behringer is sort of like a clone of the MS20M with a smaller footprint. I like the smaller size of the Behringer. The MS20M has an odd width; I love the sound of mine but it is tough to locate conveniently relative to other gear.
this is the most inspirational vixeo ever! i have a behringer k2 since cupple of months but never managed to make sick sounds. wow gona make some music right noe! 😁
Another excellent review, thank you. Why do so many feel the Akai MPC1000 with JJOS2XL is still unmatched as out of the box live sequencer for analog synthesis? Digitackt, Deluge, Blackbox etc, none seem to have the simplicity and power of the old/new MPC1000, which is now rising in price. A comprehensive review of the MPC1000 with latest JJOS, new pads, and 128gb storage would be.....fantastic and useful. Thank you.
Re: Pitch Envelopes - I just dusted off my faithfull Roland JP-8000 which has been resting in a case for over 20 years, and to my surprise found that it too has a dedicated Attack + Decay envelope which applies to pitch on both oscillators! Similarly, there is an Envelope Depth modulation knob, which also allows you to invert the envelope. These become even more interesting along with the Cross Modulation depth of both oscillators! Oh, and I'd like to take a moment to thank you for your wonderful reviews! I would love to hear you cover older synths, like the above mentioned JP-8000, Waldorf, Clavia, etc. - could be a fun trip down the memory lane!
Amazing review as usual. The K-2 is already in my list for future purchase. I really like this dirty sound, it's definitely one of those synths with character, and Behringer has built a quite good clone of it. I would have bought the Korg one if it existed in module.
Alexandros Roussos... it does exist as a module. (MS-20m) www.korg.com/us/products/dj/ms_20mkit/ But it’s pretty expensive (4x’s this price) and getting harder to find. I always wanted one... until Uli released this fella.
One of the things I love most about your reviews is how I come away from each one with applicable knowledge about how to use the synth. I also find myself continually gaining fundamental understanding of hardware synthesis the more videos I watch of yours. You do a great job of explaining synthesis in a way that just resonates with me. Thanks again, Loopop.
The crazy envelope thing isn't as crazy as it sounds. Basically sustain is always 0v no matter where it's set. With a high sustain level the voltage starts negative and rises to 0v. As you noted, this makes it great for pitch envelopes which would normally require you to retune the oscillator.
Well, I managed to do almost everything, except in place of the switch you have on the right of the patch bay for holding the S&H value, I have another patch point which links to the momentary switch beneath the Mod Wheel. Thanks, that was cool. The iMS-20 iPad app is a pretty good emulation for £14.
There's quite of bit of delay between the guitar strum and the CV note at 19:30. Is that really happening or is it just a delay between the mic recording and the synth recording?
Thanks teacher :) Always nice to find good tutorials explaining that strange patchbay on MS the -20. Really appreciate it. And now let's wait for Behringer to take on the VCS3, the OBX, the Emulator 2 (huh?) or, my personal favorite still, the Yamaha CS30 :))
@loopop Noted discrepancies comparing my Korg MS-20Kit to my Behringer K-2. ON THE ESP SECTION Control situation: a) Feed a signal into SIGNAL IN on the MS-20Kit and note how the PEAK lights as expected. b) Note that the TRIG OUT light WILL not light unless the THRESHOLD LEVEL level is brought up. K-2 situation: a) Feed a signal into SIGNAL IN on the K-2 and note how the PEAK lights as expected. b) Note that the TRIG OUT lights regardless of the setting of the THRESHOLD LEVEL. Can somewhat check this simple situation on their K-2. I'd like to see if it just my K-2, or this is something common to all K-2s.
Many thanks for your absolutely understandable and detailed description of the K2. I'll have it translated into German and it's still understandable. That's rare for subject-specific things. So a real treasure for me. What I'm still interested in is what kind of oscilloscope you use.
Hi, I use MOscilloscope and MAnalyzer by a company called Melda - they’re free with some limitations in the MFreeFXBundle. Occasionally I’ll use scopes by VCV

The analog down sampling part was specially brilliant. 3 views and 4 days later I’m on the verge... debating between this and the Korg mini MS... I think the lettering is clearer on the Behringer, the 2 filter flavours is a + but the keys are so convenient on the Korg... even though I kinda like the B’s format better, it’s really neat... and I play electric guitar and bass a lot (ESP being not just a processor but an input for pitch based controllers as guitars or other synths excites my mind...). My other synths are Toraiz AS-1, Waldorf Q, MODX6 and a Mooger fooger filter unit that makes wonders adding fat and butter (and crunch if pushed).
@loopop FWIW In light of Behringer’s recent antics, I sold all my Behringer gear today and used the money to buy a Access Virus desktop module. Feeling pretty good about it. Keep up the great work!
This synth is definitely not my cup of cake, and yet listening to you play with it so self-forgettingly makes me want to grab one. The main reason why it's such a hard sell for me is inability to patch it to other Eurorack synths directly due to difference in voltages.
Sempre a inovar! Eu nem sabia que dava para fazer de teclado uma guitarra! Genial! Sou um fã teu desde que subscrevi o teu canal! Eu estou a começar agora a tocar sintetizadores e para já só tenho um Novation Circuit mas aprendi bastante contigo! Obrigado!
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I have a Keylab II that I cannot get to work with the wheel mod trick you showed. Could you shed some light on the settings you changed to get it to work please?
Thanks for the excellent video and nice ideas! Is there a way (or hack) to activate the manual trigger with a footpedal? This could be great with the paraphonic-trigger patch :)

So happy Behringer has freed us from chasing vintage synths.
Yeah, now we just have to chase around the shops to find the Behringer ones :)
@@niknayme3754 just order 'em and spend time on your favorite DAW & plugins, waiting - I know I do :-)

Something that the original was missing was an extra output ( on the back of the behringer ) when using feedback loops
The original has both a headphone and line out. Feedback loops were easy on the original and the mini.

yeah, i wanted the ms20m but they manufactured too low amount of them and the second hand prices are bonkers

this small Eurorack box is sooo cute! You just forced me into getting/making one. p.s.: great review as always ❤︎
0:07 What gives a pulse to the sound? The key on the MIDI controller is pressed all the time...
and LFO or looping envelope
Additional tip: if you want to get "aggressive esp" trick with old filter type, use headphone out rather than signal out
Loopop created an analog Delay Lama. What a champion.
"To continue this riveting discussion about standards..."

I'm going to try your tips on iMS-20 and see how it goes. Will report back at the end of the video.
Well, I managed to do almost everything, except in place of the switch you have on the right of the patch bay for holding the S&H value, I have another patch point which links to the momentary switch beneath the Mod Wheel.

I have a CS 15 that I love. I bought it in '79 I believe. After seeing the CS 30 with the sequencer I always wanted one of those.
I found this video perfect also as a tutorial for Korg MS20 mini!
Lots of golden nuggets in this video.
Thank you !
Excellent tips on the patch bay. Especially that ESP drone oscillator and duophony.
Excellent review! Thanks for clearly explaining its quirks - that's very valuable, well done!
It's those "screaming" filters that made me buy the MS20 nearly forty years ago 😀
33:23 Tripped me up. Legit thought you were magic for a moment.
@loopop
Noted discrepancies comparing my Korg MS-20Kit to my Behringer K-2.
ON THE ESP SECTION
Control situation:
a) Feed a signal into SIGNAL IN on the MS-20Kit and note how the PEAK lights as expected.
b) Note that the TRIG OUT light WILL not light unless the THRESHOLD LEVEL level is brought up.
K-2 situation:
a) Feed a signal into SIGNAL IN on the K-2 and note how the PEAK lights as expected.
b) Note that the TRIG OUT lights regardless of the setting of the THRESHOLD LEVEL.

Thanks! Not that I can currently think of...
@loopop FWIW In light of Behringer’s recent antics, I sold all my Behringer gear today and used the money to buy a Access Virus desktop module. Feeling pretty good about it. Keep up the great work!
Wow such innovation from Behringer! What will they think of next?!
Oh man, you really are a wonder to me. Thank you!
Great Tutorial, sounds great!
On the MS20 you can use the ESP to convert v-trig to s-trig. Maybe this little trick works on the K2, too!?
Triggers yes but not gates because it's AC coupled. I assume it's like that on the MS-20 but haven't tried...
This synth is definitely not my cup of cake, and yet listening to you play with it so self-forgettingly makes me want to grab one. The main reason why it's such a hard sell for me is inability to patch it to other Eurorack synths directly due to difference in voltages.
Inability is a strong word ;)
@@GoodLuckHolly "directly" is an even stronger one
Sempre a inovar! Eu nem sabia que dava para fazer de teclado uma guitarra! Genial! Sou um fã teu desde que subscrevi o teu canal! Eu estou a começar agora a tocar sintetizadores e para já só tenho um Novation Circuit mas aprendi bastante contigo! Obrigado!
i guess it would have been nice to add a PWM input
Juan Córdoba there were mods for the originals, we'll see if someone comes up with one for the K2
@@bartosz_xenon If they recreated it then it should still be possible. Stay tuned.
I have a k2 i was lost on it til i watched this.
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I have a Keylab II that I cannot get to work with the wheel mod trick you showed. Could you shed some light on the settings you changed to get it to work please?
What plugin/software are the 2 analyzers on the monitors? And is that real hardware or did you edit the monitors in the video?
So guys… what is the best option MS20mini or Behringer K-2? Why?
Im new to all this. What do i start with? Neutron, Model D, Pro 1, this? Too much options and I dont understand what does what lol
Thanks for the excellent video and nice ideas! Is there a way (or hack) to activate the manual trigger with a footpedal? This could be great with the paraphonic-trigger patch :)
