Korg ms 10

Post by angelometz » Fri Feb 01, 2008 4:05 am

Hi!
Does a korg ms 10 have a pitch to cv?
How does it compare to a ms 20?
Is $750 a good price for it?
Should a save a little more and get the ms20?
Thanks alot!

Pitch to CV: NO, but the one on the MS20 isn't very reliable anyway

Compare to MS20: only one VCO, only LPF

Good price: $750 is average, not a bargain

Get an MS20?: it's much more versatile which is why it costs more, depends on your application

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

Last time I checked (about a month ago), they were going for around $600 on eBay, so you can probably find one more similar to that price.

So you saw that craigslist listing too? I should have never separated the MS-10 from my MS-20. I miss it. :cry:

I think that seller is asking too much. Six months ago they were selling for $500. No pictures either to tell which version it is. For a little more one could buy a Moog Source.

Yeah!
I got it!
And I love it. I figured that , since I could inspect it, test it and pick it up, with no waiting, it was a reasonable deal. Paid a little more for peace of mind. One sold on ebay today for $632 plus $60 in shipping. The one I got is in really goog condition. 100% functional. And sounds great. It's the newer model wih the push button. Is this version more or less desirable?
Anyway... I'm already getting some great sounds from it! Really nice! :D
This is the most I spent on a synth so far. I'm just learning. But I got synth addiction now. And for some reason I think only a minimoog will get me the high I want! Ehe! Or A Jup!!! Or a badass modular! Or maybe a synthi!!!! AAAHHHHHHHH!!!! :banghead:

Heh I was thinking of making the guy an offer too. Yep that's the one I had and should have never sold, with the momentary on button. My MS-20 is still mad at me for sending his best friend away. It depends from person to person but I would say it's more desirable at least to me. Congrats. Regardless of people calling it a dud I enjoy it's sound/filter and sound is important.

$750 seems like a lot for an MS-10 but if its whole, uncracked sides, good lettering and WORKS I guess it's ok. I spent a little more than that on an MS-20 though, $250 more and it came with the MS-02 interface. Other MS-10/20 users recommend the Moog CP-251 for patching purposes. I haven't gotten one yet though but I will sooner or later.

Addiction addiction...an ARP 2600 w/ 4012 filter is on my hit-list along with a Minimoog, Synthi AKS/VCS3, Moog Source and MS-10(again)...and like 2 or 3 poly's hah! Recycle those cans, bottles and make a synth savings account. I think drug addicts have it easier than us.
