Re: Selling Korg MS20 and getting a Mono/Poly

2009-12-22 by gugaks4

Thank you guys for all the replies.

Yeah, the MS surely has a character, but i think i'm quite fed up with it ). Well, can't the mono/poly work as a 4 voice polyphony? or am i getting something wrong?

to me, mono/poly sounds sometimes quite digital in a way, but that's not bad i guess. I've got an MS2000, i wonder how they would mix together
