For sale: Korg MS2000R in excellent condition. This is one of the nicest MS2000R racks we've seen come though the shop. Functionally, it's 100% good to go. The only cosmetic issue we notice is some very minor rack rash, which even then is difficult to photograph. We encourage you to examine all photos closely.

Synthesis Type: Virtual analog with subtractive synthesis, offering a blend of analog-style warmth and digital precision.
Polyphony: Up to 4-voice polyphony; 4-part multitimbrality for layering or sequencing multiple sounds.
Oscillators: 2 per voice plus noise generator:
- Waveforms: Sawtooth, pulse (with PWM), triangle, and 64 DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System) waveforms derived from Korg’s digital synths.
- Cross-modulation, ring modulation, and oscillator sync for complex, aggressive tones.
- Noise generator: Adjustable level for adding texture or percussive elements.
Filters: 1 resonant filter per voice, switchable between 12dB/octave (2-pole) and 24dB/octave (4-pole):
- Modes: Lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and band reject.
- Resonance: Capable of self-oscillation for screaming, expressive leads.
- Filter envelope: Modulates cutoff and resonance for dynamic sound shaping.
Effects: Built-in multi-effects processor:
- Modulation effects: Chorus, flanger, phaser, and ensemble for rich, animated textures.
- Delay: Adjustable with feedback and time controls, syncable to MIDI clock.
- Distortion: Adds grit and warmth to patches.
- Vocoder: 16-band with internal or external carrier/modulator inputs for robotic and vocal effects.
Modulation:
- Modulation Matrix: Flexible routing with virtual patch system (4 virtual patches per program) for connecting modulation sources to parameters.
- 2 LFOs per voice: Triangle, sawtooth, square, and sample & hold waveforms; MIDI-syncable.
- LFO Destinations: Pitch, filter cutoff, amplitude, and pan for evolving sounds.
- 2 Envelopes: EG1 (filter) and EG2 (amplifier), both ADSR type for precise control.
- Modulation Sequencer: 16-step sequencer for modulating parameters like pitch, cutoff, or pan, with smooth or stepped transitions.
Memory: 128 programs, fully editable and storable; includes factory presets for instant inspiration.
Arpeggiator: Built-in arpeggiator with 6 patterns (Up, Down, Up/Down, Random, Trigger, Alternate), adjustable range (1–4 octaves), and MIDI-syncable tempo.
Control & Interface: Compact 2U rack-mounted design with front-panel knobs and buttons for hands-on control; 16-character, 2-line LCD display for patch editing and navigation.
Connectivity:
- Audio Outputs: 2 unbalanced 1/4" outputs (stereo pair).
- Audio Inputs: 1/4" input for external audio processing or vocoder use.
- MIDI: In, Out, Thru for integration with DAWs, sequencers, and controllers.
- Headphone Output: 1/4" stereo for private monitoring.
Physical Design: Black and silver chassis, sturdy 2U rack ears, compact and lightweight for studio or live setups.
Additional Features:
- Vocoder: 16-band with formant motion recording for dynamic vocal effects.
- Modulation Sequencer: 16 steps for creating rhythmic or evolving parameter changes.
- Sound Character: Punchy basses, searing leads, lush pads, and lo-fi digital tones, ideal for electronic, techno, and experimental music.
- Patch Compatibility: Compatible with MS2000 keyboard version patches for easy sharing.
Limitations: Limited to 4-voice polyphony, which can be restrictive for complex chords; menu diving required for deeper parameters; no USB or modern DAW integration; vocoder quality can feel dated compared to modern plugins.
