    Claudio... After a Bontempi and a Farfisa Matador, Korg MS20 was my first serious instrument in 1978. I was 14 years old. Now I am 59, it is still on my desk and present in my tracks. For me it's synth number one. Forever!

    There is so much mad good stuff in the Mr Oizo catalogue, Analog Worms Attack, Positif, MSeq.. And the All Wet album is banging. The Artwork and videos etc are super creative. Mr Oizo is so much more than Flat Beat but its a legend in itself. Love you Dr Mix!

    The owners of this synthesizer know how to get all the close sounds of a PS3300 with an MS-20. The Korg plugin version is 8-voice polyphonic and that's when I discovered that with this thing I could get sounds from polysix monopoly and PS-3100 and PS-3300.
    The art of sampling is not only for sampling vinyl and noises, but also for experimenting with the prerecorded sound of a synthesizer like this one.
    I discovered over the years that this synthesizer makes simple sounds to play in polyphony, really warm pads and horns, very interesting flutes and really strange complicated sounds for percussion. It is perfect for electro funk, reggae, hip-hop, house, techno, d&b, uk garage, 2 step, break beat...
    I experiment a lot with this thing, sampling with Logic Pro and the truth is that I am very surprised at how much I use this machine. Logic's chord memory is crazy simple, from an MS-20 lead I get a deep house style pad from the 90s... I recommend this machine to design and experiment, it hides an exciting world from a simple and basic perspective.
    Thanks for the video, greetings.

    Also, 3:12 - if you want a Korg PS-series synthesizer without breaking the bank, Cherry Audio have just put out a hugely acclaimed emulation of the mythical & ultra-rare PS-3300. Would love to see you demonstrate it to us if you could. 🙂

      @@synthetic24 That's based on their live setup and an article a couple of years afterwards.
      Unless you were in the studio, you can't categorically state it wasn't used. Especially when a lot of gear lists back then were intentionally wrong or incomplete.
      Around the same time the producers on Believe stated it was a Digitech pedal and not Autotune, despite it being audibly obvious what it was.
      Dare! by The Human League does't mention the ARP 2600 which Martin Rushant has repeatedly brought up in interviews.
      It was & still is extremely common to used all sorts of gear on the album and then condense it down to a much smaller setup for live use. Which has led to all sorts of myths about the equipment used by artists. Jimmy Page is probably the most famous example of this!

These Swiss are just crazy and ultra groovy. Both used very dense synth sounds and dynamic beats, I think, with a very far imagination....
