Korg Re-Issues Iconic MS-20 Synth, Now A Build-It-Yourself Model with MIDI Accessibility

Have you ever wanted to upscale your model trains, plans and automobiles to a fully functional product? Perhaps you've thought about building something other than furniture, too.

Maybe a full-fledged synthesizer complete with pro audio accessibility?

Yes, the mighty electro demigods at Korg may have answered our distress beacons and delivered us the Korg MS-20 Mini analog synth in the form of a build-it-yourself care package.

Shit, it's like IKEA...but for gear heads.

From the unparalleled Aphex Twin to EDM savants Daft Punk, the MS-20 has fought in the vanguard of electronic music production since its inception in 1978.

And now, you can build one, yourself.

With this reissue of the MS-20 synth into our D.I.Y. epoch--because computers are now fundamentally built into everything we own--comes the advent of MIDI and USB circuitry.

In addition to building your new Mini, Korg is also re-introducing its famous keytar, now in a sleaker and thinner format, with an analog sound module to boot.

Don't feel compelled to revisit your old wardrobe, though. You're still in the 21st century.

But now, you have a new interface to add to your collection of gadgetry, as well that old keytar. Maybe get that Flock of Seagulls coiff back in action, no?

If not, then please do remember this one from TRON: Legacy. "Derezzed," indeed.
