A
monophonic analog modular synthesizer. The most
complex and
expensive unit in the
MS line. Its production started in
1979.
Unlike the
MS-10 and
MS-20, there is no
hard wired patching, which means all
routing is done with
patch cords. Designed to be an
expander, the MS-50 has no
keyboard and can communicate with other
devices using both Hz/volt and volt/octave
interfaces.
The MS-50 offers 1
VCO (with
pink &
white noise), 2
VCFs (low-/hi-pass), 1
LFO and two
invertable ADSR envelope generators per voice. Other features include a
ring modulator, a
signal inverter, a
voltmeter and
sample/hold. The MS-50 is designed to be used with the
SQ-10 sequencer.
