Korg MS

Series of Korg synthesizers

The MS series is Korg's line of patchable semi-modular synthesizers from the late 1970s, built around a small patch bay for hands-on signal routing. It includes the single-oscillator MS-10 and the popular dual-oscillator MS-20, and the name was later revived for the virtual-analog MS2000.
