$600 street!
I'd really like a Sub Phatty, too. It's a whole different sound. And everyone should have a Moog in their arsenal.

Yeah! They aren't mini, they are just 86% of the normal size!

Yep, they are NOT mini keys. Medium. As I said already. MEDIUM!

Yep. The size looks ok to me. I went to Digital Village recently and to my surprise a lot of the new keyboard workstations had those slightly smaller keys. It felt strange on a 5 octave keyboard which would be used for polyphonic playing, but on a mono synth, I guess, these slightly smaller keys shouldn't pose any problems.
The UK price seems to be set at £499. A bargain! Compare it to £1300 on eBay! Hopefully the sound is tuned to match the original.

This is kind of weird, it seems like they said "we got it right the first time, so we fixed it". I'm not an 1/8th inch or MEDIUM key fan.
If you have to ask, you can't afford the answer

Yes, I did. As others have mentioned, I was not really as excited about the MB until I heard your take on it. I don't know whether I should be thanking your or hating you! <just kidding, of course>himalaya wrote:Glad you found it useful.Sequent wrote:

It was a very nice track, btw, even though as you said you were just "noodling".
Available on iTunes, Amazon, etc.

The price is better than I had expected. Let's hope the quality control at the factory is up to snuff. The build quality of my Radias seems to be pretty good, so here's hoping.himalaya wrote:Yep.

The smaller keys also depend on how big one's hands are. If you have bigger hands then they can be very annoying I imagine. Normally, I prefer full sized keys, but I don't mind the mini keys too much. The ones on the Korgs that I have are okay. The benefit, also, is that suddenly you can reach across a much wider range.
As you said, not as much of a problem on a mono synth and especially a 'modular' unless you plan on doing Rick Wakeman-esque or Emerson fast leads. But then on the MS20 you can always trigger it from a different keyboard. I think of it in the same way as I look at those keyboards on some softsynths: mainly useful for when you're designing a sound.

Anyway, tell me what are some known cool things you can do with the MS-20 since it's patchable. I'm really not that familiar with it. So let me know what I could expect!
