Computers

Add a comment By Andi

Having the right keyboard for your computer is crucial to having the right experience. Sure, CPU, RAM and Motherboards are all going to help your computer get the job done, but your keyboard is your means of destroying foes or communicating with loved ones. Take it away and you might as well be watching TV.

Of course, it's about having the right keyboard for your needs. Not everyone is going to need the control panel for the Starship Enterprise on their desk, just like a minimal bluetooth keyboard isn't going to be enough for others. Different (key)strokes for different folks.

Most people know what kind of keyboard they need, so we figured we'd pick 3 keyboards that excel in their respective areas.

Instruments

Add a comment By Keegan

Korg's most famous and coveted monophonic synthesizer is the MS-20, first introduced in 1978, has been reborn as the MS-20 mini. Enlisting the same engineers who designed the original MS-20 to recreate it in a body that is smaller by 86% of the original size, while retaining original look and feel.

This choice little monophonic analog synthesizer sports 37 keys; knob design and printing that stay true to the original's; and in the patch section, they've switched out 1/4-inch phone plugs for mini plugs. Korg was intent on making a good thing even better, and it shows as the MS-20 Mini is a portable, affordable, and easy-to-use synth for today's musicians.

One of the coolest things about it for all you synth buffs – the original MS-20 filter is also present in the MS-20 mini, providing both high-pass and low-pass with peak/resonance. This is the same reincarnated version of the filter that was also used on Korg's Monotron and Monotribe

So click on through to our Keyboards & Midi department and have a look at all the goodies we have by Korg and more, on Mighty Ape!
