That's an interesting opinion on the Ms-10/20. I wish you could convince me of it. I owned a brand new MS-20 many moons ago, and I found it a fascinating instrument, especially with the patch bay. But my memory is of a rather thin and harsh overall tone, not one I would call sweet, warm, or pleasantly melodic. I found the ARP Odyssey to be much more to my liking. My memory of the Korg is regularly supported by the YouTube demonstrations I watch, which tend to be by kids in their socks recording in their bedrooms. In other words, I seldom hear a really fine and serious musical application of the instrument. It seems to appeal to those who may not yet be too concerned with sweetness, warmth, and a pleasantly melodic quality.
In spite of all of this, I still wanted to buy one of the MS-20 kits when they were available, but my memories told me not to. The instrument still interests me, though.
What do you say, Ant? Can you change my opinion?
