Umm ... Roland being Roland, the 303 reissue will be $3500.
And it will be digital. TB 3030.

Don't forget the D-Beam!

burn, burn, burn. They're snoody about not doing anything analog. "Um, we prefer to look to the FUTURE?" Can't wait till they come crawling back...

Crawling back to what? There are already loads of analog polysynths, it wouldn't be a market for them I think. And also, people would just be comparing their new analog polys to JP-8 and such, and b***h about it not sounding just like that.

I think its the older people that complain about such things.

I've read a couple harsh reviews about the build, for example: http://fluxwithit.com/2013/01/28/korg-m ... d-testing/. Taking it with a grain of salt though, considering they also say the Monotron sounds "fatter" (a total WTF after watching the whole video with headphones). Can always replace the knobs too...

That was laughable. This fool doesn't even know what half the functions are/do; how's he going to contribute anything meaningful in terms of a review?

Regardless, it has begun:

An ms 20 this is not

Did anybody expect the same level of build quality considering the price point it's coming in at?

I love that this reissue triggers stuff like this:

I'd like to suggest that you keep an eye on my YouTube channel.

1. This is not a "Mini" MS-20. This is a "proportionately smaller" MS-20.

2. Is it different visually? Yes. It's slightly smaller.

3. Does it have "minikeys?" No. It has proportionately smaller keys. We're not talking Casio/MicroKorg here.

4. Is it small? Look, you morons- have you ever seen an MS-20 in the flesh? It's a damned small thing. This is small, too. Smaller... but not "Oh, my God, this is smaller" sort of small... just "Hmm, something is different about this" small.

5. Is it the same? I don't know, but I'm going to know. Korg has worked hard to make this comparable, and according to what I currently know, it's as much an MS-20 as most of you people need it to be.

I can't believe the stupid s**t people say before they know anything. :::sighs::: But I promise I will be showing you exactly what you're getting very soon. And, I have a very strong suspicion that you'll be getting something close enough to an MS-20 to make these differences irrelevant.

Yes, all the time. But I'm taking AG's words to imply that, for the non-ultra-anal sonic trainspotter (ahem), the new MS-20 will do the job.

Hey people. I pre-ordered this from MF on the 25th. I learned two things when I called this morning. They have about 75 pre-orders and they will apply the customer appreciation 15% off coupon...at least they did for me. So I just saved $89.85 off the $599 price. Woohoo. If you cancel and re-order you'll lose your spot in line.

Automatic Gainsay, I love your videos and can't wait to see your videos for the mini. Your original MS-20 series really helped in choosing my first analog mono synth. Thank you.

Yeah AG's just pissed that everyone thinks oh him when it comes to the MS-20 now thanks to his great vid on YT
