Korg's MS2000 and MS2000R are now available in a sleek black finish, while retaining the retro wooden side panels. These new models are packed with the latest sounds for all genres of dance music. The MS2000B even comes with a dedicated microphone, allowing you to take advantage of the built-in vocoder right away.

New programs are included, ranging from standard analog synth sounds to cutting-edge dance music sounds, including programs that use Mod Sequence to create tonal changes. All major sound parameters can be edited via the front panel knobs and switches, for the freedom of realtime editing, and a Virtual Patch function lets you assign four modulation patches to the panel, where the routing or intensity can be adjusted as you perform.

Any external audio source can be processed by the MS2000B / MS200BR filters and effects.
