In the early 2000s, Korg released the MS-20iC — a controller for their software instruments. When using it to control Omnisphere, the MS-20iC gives you control over two Oscillators, two Filters, and we repurposed some knobs so you can control FX. Most importantly, for those of you who are into modular synths — the patch points work, which means you can control Omnisphere using patch cables! The MS-20iC can be found on the used market for a few hundred dollars, so if you like the modular workflow and Omnisphere, this is for you!

Korg MS-20ic Strengths:

  • Modular Workflow
  • Dual Filter Architecture
