MS-20 by Cluster Sound
MS-20 is a massive multi-sample bass+lead+drum collection based on the vintage Korg MS-20 MKII, the wild and dirty semi-modular analog synthesizer released in 1978.
Released in the late ’70s by Korg, the MS-20 is one of the most popular, unique, and legendary monophonic synths ever produced. Thanks to its semi-modular design that allows to significantly alter the signal flow, to the two self-resonating HP/LP filters, two VCAs, sample and hold, and a noise generato, the MS-20 (not to be confused with the MS-Mini replica) can generate fat round basses, sinuous-worm leads, noise effects and a very large array of analog sound FX.
Semi-modular analog pleasure
MS-20 is a massive multi-sample collection delivering 50 ultra-fat filtered basses, 41 warm synths & dissonant leads and 10 tuned percussive synths. All the sounds originate from an extensive use of all the MS-20 features, including the stunning envelopes and the iconic self-oscillating filter. The synth instruments included in MS-20 sound wild and dirty. Most of them have been routed through the ESP (external signal processor) in order to obtain gorgeous distorted and extra-filtered tones.

The pack includes 50 ultra-fat filtered basses, 41 warm synths and dissonant leads, and 10 tuned percussive sounds, giving you a substantial library of multi-sampled content built from the real hardware.
The MS-20 excels at gritty, analogue-flavoured production, making it ideal for techno, industrial, acid, experimental electronic, and lo-fi genres. Its fat basses, dissonant leads, and noise textures also work brilliantly for sound design and scoring.
You will need the full version of Native Instruments Kontakt to use the Kontakt version of this library, as it is not built for Kontakt Player. Check the current minimum Kontakt version requirements on the product page before purchasing.
