NAMM WINTER SESSION, ANAHEIM, CA, January
15, 2004 — Korg is exhibiting the MS2000B synthesizer
and the 4U rack-mount MS2000BR. Based on the MS2000 and
MS2000R, these enhanced models deliver an updated sound
set ranging from authentic analog synths to cutting edge
dance music, along with a new, sleek black metallic finish.
The MS2000B Analog Modeling Synthesizer comes with a dedicated
removable gooseneck style microphone, allowing the player
instant access to the built-in vocoder. The rack-mount MS2000BR
is designed so it can also be used as a tabletop unit.
Both instruments feature Korg’s DSP-powered
analog modeling system. It has been refined to produce a
wide range of fat analog sounds and offer additional functionality
reminiscent of Korg’s VC-10 vocoder and SQ10 analog
sequencer, including a three-track MOD Sequencer to create
stunning tone changes. All main sound creation parameters
are available on the front panel, with 35 dedicated knobs
for creating and manipulating sounds in real-time. In addition,
any external audio source can be processed by the MS2000B
and MS2000BR filters and effects.
Additional key features include:
• 44-note velocity sensitive keyboard (MS2000B only)
• 128 Programs
• Two multi-waveform oscillators and a noise generator
• 70 possible waveforms, including 64 DWGS (PCM) waves
that can be wave-sequenced
• MOD Sequencer, 16 steps (max) x3
• Powerful 16-band Vocoder, modeled on the classic
Korg VC-10
• MIDI-syncable Arpeggiator with six pattern types
• Effects: Modulation Effect (ensemble, phaser, or
chorus/flanger),
Delay (stereo delay, cross delay, or L/R delay), Equalizer
• 16-Channel Band-Pass Filters (x2)
• Inputs: AUDIO IN 1, 2, Level switch LINE/MIC
• Outputs: L/MONO, R Output
• Control Inputs: Assignable Pedal, Assignable Switch
The MS2000B and MS2000BR Analog Modeling Synthesizers
are currently available with respective U.S. MSRPs of $1,150
and $850.
