Korg Radias vs Korg MS2000

Post by Dj_just_jeff »

Im think ing of buying one of these, you guys have any experience or prefer one over the other? Is there that big of a difference in the different MS models i.e. MS 2000 B? I kinda get the feeling that the Radias is like an overhauled MS? Any feedback is appreciated. Thankx

i use the ms2000r with a mickrokorg xl midi'd

the ms2000 has 4 note poly, which can be hard for chords...

the ms2000 blows the mkxl away with access to all the knobs/parameters, but

the poly on the XL is greater. the sound of the 2000 is a bit grimier

check korgforums if you really want to dig into it.
I don't know anything about the radias. :|

the best way to check the diff is to demo them

the ms2000 is pretty dope. I use the rack version and control it with my microsampler.

sound creation is super fun and intuitive if you know bit about sound synthesis.


if you can find one under 200 thats be a real nice snag

try to find the rack version of the MS2000 aka MS2000R.

You get some square button octave with no velocity with it but you can hook it up to any midi controller. I got mine for 250 in mtl.

Review? No prob. I wont have it until Wed. I am super stoked. I hear that my micro korg has the same engine but it is tedious to program. I can't wait to tweak the knobs in real-time.
