Synth improv practice Korg MS2000b - by Geoffmobile]]>

www.geoffmobile.com

The Korg MS2000b is a really fun synth to play with since all the controls are easily accessible on the surface, and it’s a great instrument to play live and jam with other musicians.

I play around, solo and improv on the Korg MS2000 for about 15 minutes, and create a bunch of sounds and ideas.
