Korg MS-20 Mini Feedback Patching Walkthrough

In this video resident expert Nick Bigelow shares a few feedback patching tips and tricks with the Korg MS-20 Mini Synthesizer.
The MS-20 played a vital role KORG’s history as a synthesizer brand.Even after sales of the original, released in the late 70’s, came to an end, KORG has carried on the MS-20 tradition in a mini-sized reissue, a software synthesizer plugin, and even a kit version. These were driven by our pride in our synthesizer heritage, our understanding of its historical significance, our responsibility to faithfully carry on the analog circuit technology that we've developed over the years, and our desire to pass on its generation-spanning sound to the future.

the amount of ms20 tutorial videos ive seen that begin with a rlly crazy crunchy sound that are immediately cut off by the artist going "woah okay lets get something a little nicer going!" .. grateful for a video where that's the goal!!

[@regplasma7906]

I make Industrial harsh noise / power electronics , and this feedback patching by Nick is vital to my sound.

[@AlexanderGibbonsAudio]

It really is the little synth that keeps on giving, thank you for inspiring some new sounds to explore!

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

Could you make more of these?

[@StewTheTrue]

"Yeah that's amazing" 8:15 - 8:20 HIGHLY valuable patch.
Thanks a ton for this video. I've almost bought an MS-20 Mini half a dozen times in my musical journey.
They're just so cool. Thanks again!

[@dancingclair]

Great tutorial- very clear. Thanks!!!

[@stephanesigouin2049]

Shattering the earth has become my new favorite activity. Thank you!

[@leave-trace]

That sounds awesome!

[@fully_privatized_mass_medium]

This really broadens the sonic palette of the synth, thank you for explaining it so clearly.

[@infn8loopmusic]

Very nice walkthrough

[@crolodon8024]

Fantastic sound man, just went and did this with my MS-20M, super sick.

[@RoyPerez-drumnote]

Loved it! Thank you for the beautiful patch :)

[@ellierigby]

Hey guys this is such a stellar video for those of us who have this synth at hand and still want to find new sounds to make with it. Great editing, easy to follow along and love nick's explanation of things.

[@melter_rob]

Thanks for this - yeah that synth sounds gnarly. Definitely cool to play with feedback paths versus distortion as they seem to have a lot of sweet spots with all the different controls.

[@jessefrench9322]

THIS IS SO COOL
Thanks for posting!!

[@EricF]

[@ybotmusic]

Analog Worms Attack vibes at the end. Thanks Nick

[@BuddaGuedes]

Great tip. Thanks a lot

[@patotheduck7297]

damm gonna try this! Thnx!!!

[@xil.sanctified]

Love it -- this is my kind of noise :)

[@DivKid]

I like feedback on the MS-20 too, same reasons really with the filters on the external in to fine tune it. But it sounds great on the SH-09 which is a way more basic synth but one that just has that something sonically. It's stayed in the set up longer a few more popular synths.

[@tunistdasa6588]

I love that synth so much!! Even on the iPad App it has that gritty sound 🔥
I thought that the Intellijel Morgasmatron, which is somehow based on it, would do the same sound if I need it for harsh noise recordings and can otherwise use it within the modular system, but the Morgasmatron is much more cleaner and that‘s why I think I have to buy the MS 20 mini -.-
Has someone else experience with real MS20-ish filters in the eurorack world? Befaco BF22 seems to be rough, but haven‘t tested it yet.

[@curiouscatlabincgetsworrie7755]

Like taking a bath in a deep fryer ... and then someone turns up the temp !!! But it still feels good !!! :D

[@mike-Occslong]

Hey first time on your channel sounds great. Do you know how to recreate the high synth sounds from viagra boys research chemicals song

[@brokenpoolhall]

Just picked this up, based on your video, and the pedigree of the MS-20. My questions are, what kind of cable are you using for the signal out? And what is a mixer? Can you please link me to some that I can pick up?

[@simonmaizels]

Great tutorial! Now if ou could just fine it to get the bass sound from My People by The Presets, that would be great. Thanks!

[@tilliinfinity]

really wished for direct outputs for the oscs for more crazy fm

[@jj74qformerlyjailbreak3]

I love mine. I want an original one though. I want to eventually reverse engineer my own version of different sections.
Long live the MS-20
In all forms.

[@bigchung3833]

Hello! Am I able to hook this up to a studio monitor without an audio interface? And is there any certain cable I would need for it to work? Like so I don’t burn out my synth output?

[@hansmuller1980]

lool

[@bigchung3833]

@@hansmuller1980 thanks for the help!

[@simonburns1055]

Wouldnt hurt Korg to add an extra output jack to do this

[@WARDISWARD]

Use the headphone out for feedback , muchos nicer:)

[@user-jg7yb5ym1m]

Славь ИЕГОВУ БОГА🙂🌹

[@liorsilverstein9802]

your video was extremely helpful, you have nothing of mexican and a lot of nord light in you....

[@ZiadSidawi]

Faithful…hehehe. Sold the mini after 30 minutes of testing it.
