MS-20 vs. iMS-20?
MS-20, such a great little synth, I want to take it everywhere with me. Does the iMS-20 have the noise of the the hardware? Any complaints about the app?
Comments
Yes - very close.
Marcus Padrini has done some videos. There are some slight %age setting differences on dial settings - but that may actually be down to the filter in the MS-20 mini. In any case, as he shows in the other video, it's easily matched with a very small amount of tweaking.

Awesome, Thanks!
I've got both, and the iMS20 is very close sound-wise to my 35 year old MS20 - though pleasingly it doesn't suffer from the random portamento issues of my hardware.
A lot of the sonic differences come from the app's digital tuning. The hardware will always drift and doesn't have a sync option, whereas Osc1 and Osc2 on the app will stay perfectly in tune. You can remedy the "problem" by detuning Osc2 by .01 or .02 semitones.
FWIW Kong included tuning drift authenticity in Odyssei and people complained a fair bit.
I was incredibly impressed with how the app behaves under "extreme feedback" settings. I'm not saying it's 100% authentic, but after watching some YouTube feedback patch demos and spending limited time with the hardware, I sure couldn't tell you which was which
Thanks @MonzoPro and @jrjulius. How fiddly are the controls in the app? I find myself making some pretty minute adjustments on the hardware; can the app be fine-tuned easily?
Very fiddly, in fact they put me off using it. The knobs sometimes have a habit of spinning back to zero when you touch them. I would still buy it again though, as it's a very powerful synth and well, it's as close to an MS20 as you can get in an iPad.
It is a good emulation. The one feature lacking is one of my favorites: the external audio input, for extracting the pitch and envelope from an external source. It gets it wrong, often, with hilarious results. You can run mics, guitar, drum machines etc. into it.
If you flick up or down, you adjust the knob parameter by +-0.1 and if you flick left or right, you adjust the knob parameter by +-.01. Even with that, it's fiddly as all hell and like Monzo, I've found that the knobs spin all the way to zero or full if you don't flick just right. Also, its easy to accidentally make or break connections on the patch panel. But even though it doesn't control as elegantly as Moog Model 15, the app is still perfectly usable and it sounds great.
It works nicely with the MS-20ic controller that Korg used to sell with the desktop VST version of the application.
Thanks guys. The fiddle factor is a no-go for me, but I'll probably get it anyway just to study the presets.
