PS-20 Filter

PS-20 is an ultra-realistic, polyphonic, hot-rodded tribute to Korg's renowned MS-20.

PS-20 Filter

Post by dergundel »

Immediately purchased the PS-20 today, very nicely laid out indeed bringing back memories, I once owned a MS-20 way back in the 80s.
But I am not very happy with the filter. You easily can get it screaming (high peak and drive) but I wasn't able to create a more decent filter sweep with medium peak settings. I know the MS-20 was capable of that - of course not a velvety moog-like ladder filter sweep but at least something similar.
As the manual mentions with low drive settings the filter is sounding un-MS-20 ish, but dialing in some drive will only increase the amount of "screaming" - dialing in peak alone seems to do almost nothing.
So what I have is a nice and clean 12dB filter and a screaming MS-20 filter but nothing in between. I tested this with voxengo SPAN. Dialing peak alone (drive =0) will only give some emphasis result between 9 and 10 ; below there is almost nothing to see - and hear!
Maybe this will get fixed in an update.
