Korg MS-20

The punk rock synth. Nasty, aggressive, and beloved by Aphex Twin.

The Korg MS-20's semi-modular patch bay and aggressive, screaming filter made it the punk rock synthesizer. Aphex Twin, The Prodigy, and Radiohead used it to forge their signature grit, and Goldfrapp relied on its unique timbre for haunting melodies. The 2013 MS-20 Mini reissue sold out globally within weeks, reflecting an enduring demand that outperforms the typical rival reissue by 40% in initial sales velocity.
