MS2000 vs MS2000B

Post by infrared72 » Tue Jan 31, 2012 6:54 am

So I'm on a path to purchase an MS2000. Are there differences between the MS2000 and MS2000B I should be aware of? Comparing specs between the two, I can't seem to find anything that makes the MS2000B superior. Are there firmware or os level things they did with the MS2000B to make it better?

the only difference is that the 2000B has an xlr jack for the vocoder on the front panel, the 2000 just has a 1/4" jack on the back.

In MS2000B they supposedly solved the midi lag bug though I can not guarantee it , since i have never used one.
I have a MS2000 with the latest OS and i have noticed a small midi delay , especially when syncing the arp to midi.
It is all about sharing...

and the MS2000B is a different color, and the default patch set is different... that's about it...

My MS 2000R is made in Japan. I believe the 'B' version is made in China.
