MS-20 Mini : Excellent analogue synth sound

10 years ago

I use this synth for some occasional home recording.

Pros:

Generally I'm very happy with the kind of sound I can get from the synth particularly for some 8-bit like synth bass and rhythm lines (almost chip-tuny, I really like that). The usb output is easily recognized by able ton and the instrument can be controlled directly from the software. Which is useful for someone like me who isn't good with keys (guitar is my primary instrument).

Cons:

I did notice that on some less aggressive and more bassy settings such as you basic sine wave on a low octave there is a distinct hiss-like noise generated on key-press. Its not audible on louder settings. But something to keep in mind.
