Post-Namm synth lust - Korg MS-20 Kit vs. Moog Sub 37

Post by Hull » Fri Feb 07, 2014 10:30 pm

Two monosynths (ok, the Moog is paraphonic) from NAMM this year. Similar price, different synths. Which is the more exciting piece of kit to you?

Korg MS-20 Kit: $1,399, due in March

Why would anybody pay 3 times the price to get a slightly larger MS-20 mini?

Am I missing something here?

As an owner of a Little Phatty, I have to admit the Sub37 looks like its gonna be really sweet.

as a sub phatty owner, I agree. The Moog sound does it for me!

The Sub 37 looks sweet! I'm already trying to sell my sub phatty to help pay for the Sub 37!

Just picked up an MS-20 mini and I love this thing. Tons of fun and a great sound. I work in tech and I'm getting to the point where I don't want to do any work on the computer so I'm avoiding the midi editor for my Oberheim Matrix 1000 like the plague. I love the one-knob-per-parameter physical interface of the Korg as well as the Sub-37.

I think this is going to be the new criteria for any gear I work with.
