Great list , thanks a lot!!!   BTW , a friend of mine actually owns a Korg 
ms-20 and he wants 
to sell it. Is there anything I should know before I try it out?

Yes, it might take time to figure out all you can do with this great and 
underrated synth, but
in the end, you'll be glad you took the time to learn the beast.

So don't give up thinking it's a crap machine just because you're not 
getting great
results at your first try. 

Another great thing about the MS-20 is that it can easily be repaired 
since most of
its parts are commonly available.

Be sure to check out MS-20 related stuff on the web.  Music Machines has 
some 
good info.

Enjoy!
