Need something cleared up

Post by ZeeOne » Mon May 27, 2013 5:13 am

Both the Korg MS-20 Mini and the Volca Keys have MIDI ports, but they're only MIDI In. I was thinking it might be possible to connect them and have a brand new analog polysynth for only $750, but if they're both input jacks I guess it's not.

Is there a way to do this?

AFAIK the instruments don't have identical VCOs etc., so it's not going to sound like a single instrument even if you play them together.
Keys: Realistic Concertmate 500, Korg K25, Korg Micro X

Guits: '86 Fender Japan '50s Reissue Strat, '80 Aria Pro II TS-300 Thor Sound

Won't really work, as you'll be controlling both synths with one keyboard no matter what, and as none of them are polyphonic, you'll only hear one note no matter how many VCOs the synths have together.

The DSI Evolvers use a special link type connection to make them polychained, and also software that supports that.

Mopho X...I'm seeing B-stock/open box/barely used ones on eBay for $900 already.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

The Volca keys is 3 note polyphonic, but I don't know how you could not have the ms20 vco's just be unison with one of the Volca's vco's
