Korg MS2000, MS2000R Control panel (MS2000)

Basic Guide

IntroductionFront and rear panelConnectionsPlayingEditing

6Cable hook

Wrap the AC adapter power cable around this to pre-

vent accidental disconnection.

When unwrapping the cable from the hook, do not

apply excessive force to the cable.

Control panel (MS2000)

1PITCH BEND wheel

This controls the pitch.

2MODULATION wheel

This controls the modulation depth.

With the factory settings, it will control the depth of the

modulation applied by the LFO2 to the oscillator pitch.

3PHONES jack

A set of headphones can be connected here.
