Whoever thinks the Korg MS2000 is a piece of junk can stick it right up their ignorant ass. If you do a serious comparison in SOUND between this synth and others, you will find it blows most of them away. It favorably compares to the bitching leads of a Jupiter 8. The interface is easy to program. Even a tone-deaf person could get a decent wail from this thing. I love it. Who cares if it's made of particle board? My Gibson Flying V is brittle mahogany with the typical "touch me and I disintegrate" finish, but you won't find a better sounding guitar. That said, this Korg MS2000 is about SOUND. And for REAL musicians, that's what truly counts in the final analysis.

Demos ALWAYS suck.
Tried it myself, and it's well worth it. Pretty damn good for a VA.

I understand where you're coming from, Olaf.
On paper, 4 patch points ain't that much, but the proof of the MS2000's popularity are not to be found in its somewhat anemic specs, but rather in its formidable sound. If I were to buy synths based purely on spec's I would have chosen the (graak) OB-12 over the MS2000, but they're light-years apart in "musicality" (if that's a word).
The MS2000 tickles my Yangtze more and more each time I switch it on. I just love the noises it effortlessly ha-fnerfs out with great ease and definition. 'Tis a lovely, hands-on, user-friendly synth one can get STRANGE with.

i don't get this stuff about the amazing modulation capabilities of the MS2000...is it me or is it just a plain modulation matrix with 4 patch-cords? (ie connect a source with a destination, max 4 connections)...hell, even my A3000 sampler has a very advanced modulation matrix..

I Have found the sound of the MS-2000 to be very good. Modulation sources are plentiful and the versatility is unbeatable (except by a REAL modular). I think that the more accurate reviews are found on the ms-2000r (the same only rackmount). If people want analogue "punch", buy analogue, you'll feel better, but you'll pay a lot more. This synthesizer is unique sounding, generic sounding, digital sounding, analogue sounding (kinda), also a perfect synth for the intermediate pre-modular synthesist. Dont be fooled by joe shmo who gives poor ratings because of his personal unknowns, try, like it , buy it... thats all.
