At the end of last year, I got the new Korg Multi/Poly, an amazing analog modeling synth. I’ve had a lot of fun creating sounds on it, and with its modular design, you can craft complex sounds and authentic reproductions of classic synths.

Go back twenty-five years, and Korg released their first virtual analog synth, the MS2000. With its distinctive blue design and hands-on controls, it kick-started Korg’s virtual analog range. Since I still have my MS2000, I thought it would be interesting to see how far virtual analog synths have come over the past twenty-five years.

In this video, you’ll get a look (and listen) at the architecture of the Korg MS2000 alongside the new Korg Multi/Poly.
