I'm surprised that no one else has posted about this yet? Korg made an official announcement at NAMM that they're making a new version of the MS-20 with the original analog circuitry (along with MIDI and USB wink ) in a case about 86% the size of the original. MSRP is $599 (originally rumored to be around $800). Did you just ejaculate? Because I did.

i hope they didn't use the ms-20 VST controller case for this.  which looks just like that.

because its keys are way too tiny...  its like a little kids toy.

They did this before with the MS-20 midi controller/software package.  I wonder if this is the exact same form factor but with actual guts inside.

It's been confirmed to be bigger than the controller.  It's like 83% the size of the original.  Keys are accordion-key sized, roughly.  Keys are quite a bit bigger than the microkorg.

I'm seriously thinking about pre-ordering one.  An MS-20 for $599 is hard to resist.

price is amazing as well.  MSRP around 4k. 

i've been hanging around modular forums for two years now and i've never even heard of an easel selling let alone thought i'd have an eventual chance to get one.
