"Ambitious, revealing, daring, and musical"Clifton Develle Cameron. Author, composer, sound designer, educator, and mixing engineer
"I had been thinking about putting together some components for the Eurorack hardware modular experience, but after playing with the PS-20 and integrating my nakedboards MISI controllers, I've decided to save the $10K and put it toward a trip to Europe instead!"Doug Johnson. Keyboard player / Loverboy
"PS-20 is faithful to the original sound and panel layout while adding some great new features."Jim Aiken. Renowned music technology writer, Electronic Musician, Keyboard magazine, and Mix magazine
The MS Synth Experience, Supercharged
PS-20 is an ultra-realistic, polyphonic, hot-rodded tribute to Korg's renowned MS-20. First and foremost, PS-20's dual highpass/lowpass filters super accurately recreate the MS-20's famous raunchy sound in all of its squelchy, screaming glory. In addition to its unique filters, the MS-20’s other signature feature is its modular-style patch panel. Cherry Audio have reconfigured the patch panel from the original instrument, adding many desired in and out patch points for all oscillators, filters, and VCAs, correcting the confusing terminology of the original, and throwing in a few extras that greatly expand its usability.
Every part of the instrument has been "souped up" with killer features, including 16-note polyphony, a unique three-layer, eight-step sequencer with flexible CV outs, and integrated effects, including a beastly distortion, modulation echo with stereo spread, and a lush digital reverb with fantastic spring and plate emulations.
The PS-20 truly is one of the most quirky and unique instruments Cherry Audio have released. Between its sometimes unpredictable filter behaviour, and the tremendous flexibility of its patch panel and sequencer, the possibilities are endless, and the creative "happy accident" quotient of PS-20 is simply off the charts!
