I tend to disagree. having tried both methods of controlling the MS-20 over the years, using the native Hz/V and S-trig inputs has produced far more musical results in my experience, and has left the modulation paths open for pitch and timbre controls. I have considered building an MS-02 clone, knowing that many MS-20 owners would appreciate owning such a device to avoid the kludge of the workaround used by some (as mentioned below). it does work in a pinch though.
