The 80's and 90's of the last century resulted in a new wave of performers using synthesizers on stage, including Devo, Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, The Chrystal Method and many others. It was for them that an instrument that hung from a strap like a guitar was created, allowing them to steal the limelight from their fellow guitarists. The MS-1 is a tribute to just such a synthesizer with all the features like: 32-step sequencer, arpeggiator and handle with modulation wheel. Now available to everyone, the instrument allows you to conjure up almost any sound you want. 32 semi-weighted full-size keys, a fully analog signal path, a true 3340 VCO and extremely flexible VCF and VCA filters will make the MS-1 your favorite keyboard.
