Getting Started
The Cherry Audio PS-20 is a somewhat loosely interpreted emulation of the
classic Korg MS-20 analog synthesizer. We’ve carefully modeled the unique
tonality of its audio path, including super-accurate emulations of its distinctly
raunchy highpass and lowpass filters, but once we got started, we couldn’t
stop… let’s just say we added a LOT of additional functionality to this fun and
sometimes-really-weird synth.
Intended as an affordable alternative to American mono synthesizers such as
the Moog Minimoog and the ARP Odyssey, the original Korg MS-20 was
released in 1978, selling for less than half the price of a Minimoog. With that
in mind, it’s full of design choices that are sometimes innovative, sometimes
maybe dumb, and sometimes just plain off the wall. It’s important to
remember that in the 70s, typical analog synth features weren’t yet
completely established, so synth design was still in a sort of Wild West, or in
this case, “Wild East” era.

Perhaps the most notable MS-20 feature is its grindy dual filters. In an era
where the gold standard was the fat and velvety Moog ladder filter, the MS
filters’ easy-to-distort, screamy resonance couldn’t have been more different.
But their signature sound was the unintentional byproduct of a penny-
pinching, as-few-components-as-possible design - the similarly crude low-
parts-count VCA also contributed to their overdriven sound. The MS-20
wasn’t hugely popular in its day, owing to an overall smaller synth market
(Japanese instruments didn’t really take off until the 80s), but as the years
went on, people discovered the joys of this unique little monster, along with
its baby sibling, the simplified MS-10. The MS-20 really hit its stride in the
90s when William Orbit used one all over Madonna’s “Ray Of Light” record,
and people began to scoop them up. Eventually the demand became large
enough that Korg reissued the MS-20, first in a miniaturized version, and
eventually with full-size editions.
Beside its unique filters, the MS-20’s other famous feature is a modular-style
patch panel, rarely seen in low-priced synths (well, at least in 1978). For
most users, it’s something of a mixed blessing, because it
appears
to add full
modular-synth flexibility, but unfortunately lacks a fair amount of
connectivity you’d want, such as a separate oscillator outputs and
modulation inputs. Overall, its implementation can be pretty confusing, even
to seasoned synthesists. At a glance, the Cherry Audio PS-20 patch panel
appears very similar, but in actuality, we’ve reconfigured the patch panel
considerably, adding desired ins and outs for all oscillators, filters, and VCAs,
correcting the confusing terminology of the original, and throwing in a few
extras to make it more fun and usable.
We’ve hot-rodded the rest of the synth with extras as well - most
importantly, transforming the original mono instrument into a 16-note
polyphonic beast. We’ve also added a unique three-channel, eight-step
sequencer with flexible CV outs, enabling control of any patch panel
parameter. Rounding things out are integrated effects including a beastly
distortion, modulation echo with stereo spread, and a lush digital reverb with
fantastic spring and plate emulations.
As a result, the PS-20 truly is one of the most unique instruments we’ve
released. Between its sometimes unpredictable filter behavior, and the
tremendous flexibility of its patch panel and sequencer, the creative
possibilities are endless. Throughout its development cycle, even us jaded,
lifelong synth nerds kept stumbling on crazy, “how the heck did I do that?!?,”
sound programming surprises. We think you’ll dig PS-20 as much as we do…
enjoy!
