Korg MS-20
£1,295
You can almost ignore the ‘kit’ aspect of Korg’s Korg MS-20 Kit. In practice, the DIY element of this 70s reissue is only slightly more difficult than the average Lego kit: piecing together the neatly designed parts should take a couple of hours at the very most.
The kit version has two big advantages over the cheaper and more widely available Korg MS-20 Mini. Firstly, it’s built to the original scale rather than being miniaturised. That means full-sized keys (which turn out to be surprisingly convenient for those of us blessed with full-sized hands). Secondly, it includes both the original filter circuit and the revised version introduced later in the Korg MS-20’s original run. The filter can be selected using a switch inside the unit, giving you the option of either sound.
The advantages of the Korg MS-20 Kit are fairly substantial, even if you do pay a price premium over the Korg MS-20 Mini (as is often the case with Korg products, don’t expect to pay full price – expect most dealers to knock 15-25% off the RRP).
Stocks of the limited-edition Korg MS-20 Kit are already running low at most retailers, but if you’re interested in the do-it-yourself approach then the good news is there’s another Korg kit on the way to keep you going: the MS-20M kit is a desktop module with a slightly more advanced synth architecture and the bonus of an accompanying SQ-1 step sequencer. It’ll be available very soon with an RRP just over £1,000 and a street price around £850.

Wow, so you can plug your guitar on ‘audio in’ and what comes out is the synth sound? Can the Moog Sub 37 do this? For midi sync, I would need midi connections right? Which is better Sub 37 or Pro 2?

Damn what about the MFB Dominion 1? That’s easily one of the best monosynths on the market today.

First question Are you up to date with 2025/26 in regards to DJ experience in all formats, hence vinyl records education at events whether it be 100 or 1000 attendance and advice for multi genres in vinyl and digital mixing
They do differ In events
Not only in headphones advice but in the transition for mixes, different levels on a mixer
I feel this should be addressed more often for all ages esp up and coming DJs and in production as this is vital for all, not just digital mixing
Also,Consider countries outside the UK
No matter the economy! There is so much untapped gifted people with very little financially all over this planet
And like myself with 30 years experience DJLUSHNZ in New Zealand Spent 20 years in London until 4 years ago have noticed a growing divide in DJs and producer’s who just can’t and are so stubborn in reaching out to all this talent and their crews and promoter’s won’t budge on opening their hearts and acknowledging there is a heck of a lot to be improved on and not sticking to the same old line Up or safe bet
