Common MS-20 mini Questions
How do I sync the MS-20 mini (2025) to my DAW using MIDI?
Connect the MS-20 mini's MIDI OUT to your audio interface's MIDI IN. In your DAW, select the MS-20 mini's MIDI channel as the clock source and set the sync mode to MIDI clock on the MS-20 mini via the global settings menu (accessed by holding FUNCTION while powering on).
Can I save presets on the MS-20 mini (2025)?
The MS-20 mini (2025) does not have internal memory for saving presets; it's a purely analog synthesizer, so record your patch settings using a patch sheet or take a photo of your settings to recreate them later.
How do I use the ESP (External Signal Processor) section on the MS-20 mini (2025)?
Connect an external audio source to the ESP input, then use the amplifier and bandpass filter controls in the ESP section to process and sculpt the external signal; you can then use the output of the ESP to modulate other parameters in the MS-20 mini.
Why am I not getting any sound from the MS-20 mini (2025) even though all the knobs are turned up?
Ensure the VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) is open either manually via the initial gain knob or by sending a gate/trigger signal to the VCA input; without a voltage opening the VCA, you won't hear any output.
What are the key improvements in the filter of the MS-20 mini (2025) compared to the original?
The MS-20 mini (2025) features both the early and late model filter types selectable via a switch on the front panel, offering both the aggressive, resonant sound of the original and a more controlled, stable sound; This selection provides more tone-shaping versatility than the original model.
