Welcome!

This is 2 oscillators - ONE layer of a program (one EXi).

This is just the tip of iceberg with the MS-20 synth. To me this is insane. I cannot wait to solo with this sound live. It is .... insane .....

Check it out...

WOW the MS-20 analog synth must have been possessed!
No wonder they are going for $2K and higher!

Are you trying to be the Eddie Van Halen of synths?

Ron,

That's the thing... Only reverb and delay! The rest is 2 oscillators of ms-20!

Aron, this just sounds as good, as anyone wanting a gritty, VERY analog sounding VA could wish.

After all I heard so far, the JP-80 Oscillators and filters sound nearly lame in comparison. They may be good for some pads and synth brass made fat by layering, but as far as I can judge from the available demos, they are competely missing the grit and the punch (not speaking of the MUCH better resonsance filtering) of the Kronos VAs! I certainly will give the JP-80 a close listen in the store not to be unfair, but I doubt that this impression will change much with good headphones on directly at the instrument.

I haven't heard any other synth sound this insane right out of the box. This is the MS-20 sync sound that I was talking about. I tweaked it but extremely little - just the effects and maybe a couple of more things, but the changes are minor; so it's a preset.

I think it sounds a lot more insane than the distortion pedal I designed:

Shaka Express Distortion

Of course I would be glad to share the program if anyone thinks they need it.

Need it!
Although the MS-20 has a completely other character than a Minimoog, the oscilator sync reminded me a lot of good old Jan Hammer shredding Cool

Curious to see where you put the controller for the oscillator sync. Laughing

P.S. That distortion pedal sounds great. Is that you playing?
(Edit: I should add: both pedal and playing sound fine!)

OK I will post it, but guess what? That's not oscillator sync. I _know_ it sounds like it, but it's the High Pass Filter on the MS-20! I know.... incredible!!!!!!

All that sweeping sounds are either the Joystick or the high pass and low pass. This is one incredible mono synth. I have no other words except it is an insane synthesizer.

I played this sound for my friend and then we went to the Jupiter 80..... Maybe that's what did in the Jupiter in front of him. Twisted Evil

- oh yeah sorry about the guitar playing - to be fair it was a few years back and I had only been playing for a few years. I was trying to demo the pedal more than anything else. That's a hi-gain pedal I designed along with a cabinet simulator that my friend posted.
