Since this isn't MS2k or mK related, it doesn't make much sense on
this list.  But I am not sure I feel that patches for these synths
should be sold.  Sure, it takes time an effor to program the patches
together.  I know because I have spent countless hours putting
together patches on my mK, SH-32, A-Station, and XL-1 (even more
countless on the XL-1, until I got Proteum working).  As the site
states, it is the sounds that make the synth, but not until the sounds
are created.  If you've made patches on any of the different synths,
and have made money on the song created with that patch, release it to
the world so that all may benefit.  Don't try and sell it.  If you
need money because your music doesn't sell, it is probably the music
that stinks anyway.  I don't sell mine (music or patches) for that
reason; I couldn't take the rejection.

Especially since most of the equipment these sounds are for can only
be found on eBay, it seems like riding on someone else's misery.

Just my 2 cents.
Tuorum (and yes, I do give away my patches. See the SH-32 list).

i am new to the ms2000....on my jp8000 i can set two patches at once
and have their individual settings different for effects and delay.
On the Ms2000 it seems that both patches in dual mode get the same
effects and delay settings...you cant even split them and put effects
on later as there is only one stereo output...the best you can hope
for is two monos ....am i wrong on this one..i hope so.

hello. it seems the DC 9V power jack in the back of my KORG MS2000 is
not working. I've tried plugging in the Korg 9V adaptor and I have to
kind of push the plug on the adaptor down when it's plugged in to get
any power to the Korg. I tried this with another 9V adaptor and the
same thing happened. Can anyone help? Is the jack bent or something?
It seems loose. Either way, thanks for any help you can give me.

Hi,

While I don't own an MS2k, I am involved in circuit work.  This problem is
almost always due to the jack coming loose from the circuit board, in other
words a bad solder joint.  If you don't feel comfortable with opening your
synth, and or comfortable with a soldering iron, then I would suggest you
find someone who is.  Basically you will need to quickly heat the solder
point, while gently pressing the jack against the board, and just possibly
insert a small amount of solder while heating the point.  Be careful here as
too much heat will melt the plastic part of the jack, or will lift circuit
traces, both situations being annoying or worse.

I hope I've helped,
Pat

Not a problem.  I'm so addicted to this circuit stuff that it's a joy to
help with stuff like that (that's on my level [basic] hehehe).  Hope you can
get it working.   In fact, I need to do this with my CZ-101, and maybe i
should modify it while I'm in there....hmmm.

Hi everybody,

I am seriously considering to get me a Microkorg this weekend.
If you want to stop me, now is the time :-)
Share your experiences,
I am also considering the Novation K-station.

I love the microkorg!  Great virtual patching, wonderful quality sound,
sweet basses, versatile arpeggiator, good FX, sweet resonant filters, EQ and
delay for the output, lots of control for midi, ability to process external
signals, 64 old school FM DWGS waveforms in addition to the basic wave
forms.  It's truly awesome for the price!

I might as well point out the negatives while I'm at it.  Max 4 polyphony
with one voice, and only one part multitimbral (with two voices).... that's
about all I can think of.

Take Care,
Pat

Hi Pat,

thanks for the usefull info.
When do you experience the 4 voice poly to be a limitation ? during live
performance <?
how about the  keyboard splitm do you have 2 voices on each split then ?
what did you pay for your microkorg ?

i don't know the novation thing but i'm a very recent
microkorg user, and i suggest to get that.......
the only lack is about "pads" sounding, but for a solo
or lead synth is almoast the perfect thing!

Oh,
yeah that's another minus, no keyboard split.  But I play a couple keyboards
anyway, so I don't mind that.

Usually the four voice limitation doesn't bother me.  I use it often for
unison leads (one voice if both timbres are set to unison or three if one is
set to poly), and for mono synth (one voice with one timbre or both timbres
set to mono).  It does do some amazing pads and organs and the like, and for
those it's nice to have more voices available, but then I like to have a
hand free to twiddle knobs or play another keyboard, so four is about all I
need then.  I could enjoy eight like my my CZ-101 has, but I rarely use
eight on there really.

I think the MK is very good for live performance.  It's got exciting sounds,
and you can latch up the arpeggiator to keep the groove going while you do
something else.  Not to mention the vocoder, which is pretty nice too.

I paid 399.99 for my micro right after it came out, and it was well worth
it.  It's a good midi controller too except for the split thing.

Pat

and of course you know that the micro is just a 2000 squeezed into a
little box so that you loose out on the interactive feel of the
2000....if you dont want to make a fashion statement and you already
have a midi keyboard then the rack module ms2000r at clearout prices
for the next new but near identical model thats coming out and can be
had for very little. Also you cannot split the voices and give
different effects to each channel on the 2000/micro...in a lot of
ways the jp8000 is what a 2000 wants to be when it grows up but the
2000 is still a great box but it aint multitasking...its pretty much
a mono synth....this is my experience.

I use my MicroKorg to control my analogue rig.  I only ever bought my
MicroKorg as a mono synth, the fact it can act as a small portable controller
for my analogues is a bonus.

Yes,
It's very good for this purpose, especially if you have soft synths that
have MIDI learn, because you can assign the MK knobs easilly to those learn
commands in the soft synth and sweep with a hardware knob.  You can say
sweep cutoff or lfo depth or osc pitch or whatever, or with some soft synths
you could do all of those and more at once.

I think it's really good for controlling the Kontakt sampler.  You can
assign the same knob to tons of parameters and make some completely wild
sounds this way.

It's got velocity sensing too, so that helps, especially with well made
sampler patches.

Later,
Pat

Do you use a midi to cv converter, or a voltage follower, or a frequency to

I use a Frostwave Quad MIDI/CV converter.  It is very useful...
I also use a variety of trigger outs to do synch to other things, like
a Space Echo, and an analogue sequencer's step time!

Yea Frostwave! I had a Funk-a-Duck that was a very cool envelope
filter. I'd like to get one of their ring modulators. I'm intrigued by
the MIDI to CV thing. I'm a guitar player who is slowly becoming
acclimated to MIDI and synths. I've got a few MIDI keyboards, including
a MicroKorg. I've also got an old Korg X-911 guitar synthesizer that I
use as a guitar effect. As I understand it, the X-911 has the same
filter as in the old MS-20: can anyone elaborate on this? Anyway, the
X-911 has jacks for CV in and out, Trig in and out, FM in, and Synthe
VCF FcM in. I have no idea what these mean, how they work, or how I can
use them, although I have heard people talk about about CV and MIDI
together, as Rachel does. Is there a good tutorial site or other
resource that you can recommend that would explain all of these synth
control issues and applications for the complete novice? It would be
nice to be able to do with more with the X-911 beside using it as a
guitar effect, I'd like to be able to utilize it as a synths with my
MicroKord keyboard or other MIDI stuff.
Any advice to get started in understanding all of this is greatly
appreciated!

Cheers,
Cliff

Hi all

I'm planning to buy a Korg MS2000 and have a question or two for those in
the know. How many of you use it for the vocoder, how good is it, and what
is the best microphone to use with it.

Also, I'm hoping to use it for lead sounds (live using a Roland AX7 strap on
midi keyboard). Are there any "killer" sounds out there for it?

Cheers


Richard

Hi Richard,

I have a Microkorg, which has an 8 band vocoder (I think the MS2000 has a 12
band).
IAnyway, they both have the same sound engine so the soudns are comparable i
guess.
The vocoder is very usable In my oppionion, very tweakable and sounds great
to me.
It sure has some killer sounds inside, I was utterly suprised by what such a
small synth can produce,

Cheers

Kris

Hi there , sorry for my English ,I hope some one will understend me
because I-m having a big problem.

Im using
Pc with xp profesional
AMD athlon 2800 xp procesor
1GB RAM
120GB maxtor HD and
a Teratec phase28 sound card
#I-ve set the  ASIO buffer at 1024 and it-s syncronised ok with
Cubase(in the test there is no syncro lost).
#I-ve connect  Korg ms 2000 R(the synth is worcking ok when is not
in MIDI connection)  midi in out of the card ,to out in of the
synth.The clock external.I-ve even update to the 1.7 driver from the
PC and no problem till there.

1.When I open Cubase SX2 I can visualise the connection but the banks
are not corisponding.I can only change the sound banks from Cubase
and not from the synth.

2.The sounds are different!!! the osc2 pitch semiton ,and tune, are
not working at all,all so the portamento and
the arpegiattore.

3.The basic problem is that the synth is doing a crazy triky movment
with the patchs ,is chainging the sounds using diferent notes and
pachts . When I chaing the patch  manualy I can hear the note I-ve
playd for 1:32 and then it turnes back to the previous patch and
sing for 1:16 ,then chaing again .

4.In Cubase is coming in as mono is this ok?

I think there is a problem with sx2 and korg but I can-t understend
what it is.

please some body help me ,I dont know realy what to do!!!

p.s.
I hope you will understend what I-ve wrigth up there.
I-m not so good with Eglish.
thanks Alex

Check your presets.  Hiphop/Vintage A2 and increase the cutoff a
little bit and shift up to a higher octave.  Same thing with
Hiphop/Vinttage B2.

Hi,
It sounds like you might have accidentially recorded cc# information
into the assigned MIDI track in cubase, make sure next time to stop
recording in cubase when changing patches and messing with knobs.
Check the controller lane in cubase, cc# heading names in the
controller lane ending with a star[*] (e.g. 'Brightness*') contain
cc# information. Select each one and delete the unwanted info. When I
use my MS2000 from cubase, I use it WITHOUT 'adding a midi device' in
cubase, I just plug in the midi cables and set the correct midi TX
(Transmit)/RX(Receive) channels in cubase, I use the cc# numbers from
the manual to send info to the synth (check the back of the Korg
manual). The predetermined cc# numbers for a 'Korgms2000r device' in
cubase's MIDI device 'modules' may be different to the ACTUAL correct
cc# numbers in your synth. The added convienence of having cc#
heading names and patch names in the controller lane is not really
worthwhile if cubase is transmitting incorrect cc# info and has
different patch names, you are better off taking the extra time to
draw in the cc# numbers and 'patch change' info correctly by hand. If
you want to use the factory specified Korgms2000r 'MIDI Device'in
cubase, check cubases folder for the .txt file containing the info
for the korgms2000r device and check that it has the correct patch
names listed.  As for only having a mono sound from the synth, this
is a problem, it should be in stereo. This could be a soundcard
problem, a cubase bus problem, a cable problem or you could just be
recording the audio on a 'mono' track, make sure you specify 'Stereo'
when creating a new audio track. Also check the VST inputs window in
cubase (press F4), make sure that the audio is being recorded from
the correct soundcard source.

Also check the settings on page 3B of the global settings in the
synth. Make sure 'Local' is set to 'On' when connected to cubase
(page 54 of the korgms2000r manual). Also make sure the setting on
Global settings page 1c is set to PreTG to enable the recieved midi
to be routed to the arpeggiator in the ms2000r (page 53 in the
ms2000r manual).

Hi folks,
I'm looking to buy a Korg MS-20, and I've got a few basic questions I'm hoping
you can
help me with.
First off, I've found one for sale, and I'm going to go check it out in a few
days. It sounds
like it's in overall good functioning condition, but the back is pretty
scratched up. The
price is $700 (USD). I'm wondering if this is a fair or good price, considering
the fact that it
works well but the paint on the back is  pretty scratched up.
Also, are there things I should be checking or looking for? I've never had
experience with
an MS-20, so I really don't know what quirks or problems, etc., may develop with
them (if
any) and what to look for or look out for when checking one out.
Last question: is there any place I can download a users manual? I've searched
the web,
but haven't found a users manual.
I'm really looking forward to getting an MS-20, but I want to be sure that I get
a good one.
Any info you can share with me will be helpful and gratefully appreciated.

Cheers,
Cliff

hi all,

   just wanted to let you know that guitar center still
has a handful of display/demo MS2000R's available at a
$199 blow out price.  I ran into this a couple months
back when they were selling them for $299...last week
I decided to pick up a 2nd one (got my 1st over a year
ago) and they're selling them for $199.  I thought
this was great considering a couple 'nearly new' ones
were going for $300+ on ebay last week.

Dennis

Make sure all knobs are present.
Make sure each one is tested and feels right.
They should not be scratchy sounding.
Likewise the sockets all should be a good fit - not too tight or loose.

There should be no "rattling" if you move the unit - the Power Supply
in the MS-20 is mounted on the back cover and can come loose causing
a catastrophe.

Check for rust - these things attract rust.   The cleaner the better.
Scratches do not necessarily mean a bad one, but it should be in
reasonable condition overall, for USD700.
