Settings - Diagrams - are they posted anywhere??
I know a big part of using the MS20 mini is to doodle around and see what you come up with, but has does anyone know if there are pre-sets in diagram format out there somewhere? I have the ones that are in the manual / booklets, but it would be cool too see what other people are coming up with and I would be able to post what I have created??

I created a tumblr page for it
http://ms20patches.tumblr.com/
I'll put the following on there:
* blank image
* a note on how to tag tumblr posts with the tag #ms20patch?
* a guide on how to express the patch in text
* a link to the search for the tag

Just gonna throw this in here & i'm not attempting to be non constructive.
Whilst there are certain known settings (If you want to call then that) which will achieve a certain sound like for example an acid bass or a sub bass, a melodica, flute, trumpet or whatever else you can think of , the best way to use this synth is to tinker ! Get those dials near where you want them & get the sound close to how you want it & just twiddle, fine adjust etc.
The numbers printed on the panel are representative figures & imo should be used as a basic tool for reference but the true sound editing comes from listening & gaining an understanding of what effect each parameter control will have on the sound & why. When you make a nice sound through experimenting like this there is a lot of satisfaction to be had as opposed to say, copying a chart ! Something i find very boring. There is no text book to adhere to with a voltage controlled synth other than the rules of electricity & the sound which a machine is capable of. The only boundaries or restrictions lie in the circuitry within the synth... Within that zone inventiveness lies with us !
Like i said, just thought i'd throw that in there... Just a general school of thought kinda thingy !

I actually agree with you in principle, I'd like to hope such a collection of patches would serve as examples or to show some interesting hacks. I think the ms-20 leads itself to experimentation and what I like to call "sonic evolution' - you never get the same sound twice 
kinda like the Hammond: my draw bars at end of church are never at what they are when I set them at 888800000 at the beginning.

I mean, i know that there are some out there but that's because someone bothered to make them & i guess i could make some but for me personally i don't have a need.

Nice work on this, will start posting some pictures of mine. The main reason for this firstly so that when i find the sound I want or have recorded I can quite easily (and quickly) find it again, but also to share what I come up with etc

Online patch storing!
Hey guys,
I recently discovered this very cool website for storing MS20 presets. It is very user friendly and so easy to drag cables across the patch bay. Also you can include a soundcloud link of your patch sound.
The only problem is there are not enough users yet!
Please check it out, i hope it gets so more users
