King Korg VA with analog filter emulations and tube – rumours and wishes / MS20 re-release (confirmed)

something new approaching, also synthtopia asks for the MS20 to come back in form of a real synth.. if so, I ‚d still answer the same when I saw that controller first- make this thing sound just as it is, add octave shift keys and program change and give it 4-8 voices polyphony and a nice double full blown envelope and FM for those OSCs and it could be something very very cool…The Korg MINI MS-20 Monophonic Synthesizer (NAMM Rumor) – it’s now confirmed, there IS a $599 MS20 analog synth coming
there’s 2-3 rumours about a 800€-synth that looks like the iMS20 controller – maybe analog, maybe digital up to 8 voices has been „leaked“ via a south american site. – anyway – still a rumour (there’s talks about a new moog at NAMM 2013).

Kraft Music - Korg KingKORG Synth Demo at NAMM 2013

and here is something to be added to the NAMM checklist..
3 OSC’ed something? or just a piano or just some dream of someone who has a nice paint app installed?

– VA-synth

– XMT-modelling sound-engine – means some filter types, incl MS20, OB, Moog etc.. – all via OLED Minidisplays like the Mini KP2. And there’s a TB Filter as well. Looks like sounding fine. Digital, but flexible, so it’s not just a Radias-thing.. and split-concept, not like multimode, so this is for stages and being flexible and more „modern“ since analog modeling this way may be cooler for most of us – and epianos/organs is in, too for those who want it, so it’s a SYNTH, not a Workstation. $1299

– max. 3 parallel oscillator-algorithms

– real tube circuit effect

– vocoder

– CV/Gate output

– 7 kg

– no price and/or availability yet

Forum: King Korg . oder was kommt denn da zur NAMM?

basically a reduced Radias (just one filter) and no step sequencer, but with CV/Gate.
well, there is no smaller keyboard version – that would be cool, so it’s 61 standard.. maybe better for the US buyers and more conservative oriented ones (sorry, players! no to be taken to seriously) ..?

  1. […] who wants a new moog since there’s be rumours about some new synths (most of it being from Korg but also Moog seem to tweet about “a new thing”.. maybe more like a keyboard […]

  2. […] ähnlich sehende Analog-MS20 der Neuzeit kommen und diese Daten haben – leak!! Auch der King Korg ist kein Fake, offenbar – aber er ist, wie erwartet, ein VA auf Basis der Radias Technik […]

  3. […] special – there will be another Kurzweil PC3 called the PC3K8 and as you’ve seen the Korg Synths King Korg and MS20 Mini will be real and coming.. more see other NAMM […]
