Korg MS-20 Bass and Synth Character

Beat presents this pack as a focused tribute to the Korg MS-20, a synth known for aggressive, filter-driven bass. According to the developer, the MS-20's filters give its sounds a heavy, rock-oriented presence, and the patches here aim to capture that character.

The 64 patches range from heavy basses to softer synth tones. Two presets are highlighted by name: 017 BS Monster, a big bass sound, and 057 SY Niceguy, a milder synth patch. Together they show the range the pack covers.

Using the Pack in Zampler

The pack is a Zampler expansion and needs Zampler 1.0.2 or later to load. The developer lists a requirement of about 2.4 GB of available disk space.

The patches suit producers who want ready-made analog-style bass and synth starting points. They can be loaded directly and then edited to fit a track.
