Introduction  
Main features  
The structure of the  
MS2000/MS2000R  
1. Analog modeling system  
The MS2000/MS2000R provides eight types of oscillator  
algorithms, including waveforms of analog synthesizers,  
and places the most important sound parameters on the  
front panel so that you can modify sounds as you play or  
perform a variety of realtime editing, with the same ease of  
operation as on an analog synthesizer.  
Modes  
The MS2000/MS2000R has the following three modes.  
Program Play mode  
2. 128 programs  
The MS2000/MS2000R contains a total of 128 programs,  
A01:MS2000/R  
Single  
=120  
with 16 each in banks A–H.  
In this mode you can select and play a program (sound).  
As you play, you can use the front panel knobs and keys to  
modify the sound and change the parameter values.  
You can also use the arpeggiator and MOD SEQUENCE for  
additional performance possibilities.  
3. Virtual Patch function  
Not only EG and LFO, but also velocity and keyboard track-  
ing can be used as modulation sources, and assigned to  
parameters that make up the sound, giving you even more  
freedom to create sounds.  
LCD Edit mode  
4. MOD SEQUENCE  
MOD SEQUENCE is a step sequencer that lets you apply  
time-varying change to sound parameters in a way similar to  
analog synthesizers of the past.  
01A COMMON  
Mode:  
Split  
In this mode you can view parameter values in the LCD  
screen and edit them.  
Access this mode when you wish to edit parameters that do  
not correspond to any knob or key on the front panel, or  
when you wish to make detailed adjustments to a parameter  
value.  
5. External input waveforms can be pro-  
cessed  
A waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1, 2 jacks can be pro-  
cessed in the same way as the internal waveforms.  
Global mode  
6. Vocoder function  
1A GLOBAL  
If a mic is connected to the AUDIO IN 2 jack, the MS2000/  
MS2000R can be used as a four voice vocoder.  
Mst.Tune:440.0Hz  
In addition to using two 16-bank filter sets to simulate the  
vocoder sounds of classic equipment, you can create original  
vocoder sounds by shifting the filter frequency, or adjusting  
the level and pan of individual frequency bands.  
In Global mode you can make the following settings.  
• Adjust the tuning and edit user scale data  
• Specify the functions of the assignable pedal and assign-  
able switch  
• Transmit a MIDI exclusive data dump  
• Set MIDI and other parameters for the entire the  
MS2000/MS2000R  
7. Arpeggiator  
The MS2000/MS2000R provides an arpeggiator that allows  
you to produce arpeggios simply by holding down a chord.  
You can choose from six arpeggio types, and also specify the  
duration and spacing of the arpeggiated notes.

Basic Guide  
How a program is structured  
The programs of the MS2000/MS2000R can be classified in one of two categories depending on the Voice mode setting (LCD  
Edit mode Page 01A: COMMON “Mode”): synth programs whose “Mode” is Single/Dual/Split, and vocoder programs  
whose “Mode” is Vocoder.  
Synth programs  
As shown in the diagram below, a synth program consists of timbres, effects, and an arpeggiator.  
(in the case of Dual/Split)  
Free Assign  
KBD Track  
Velocity  
Free Assign  
AMP  
TIMBRE 1/2  
This consists of AMP (Amplifier), DIST (Distortion), and  
PAN (Panpot).  
A timbre consists of OSC1/OSC2/NOISE, MIXER, FILTER,  
AMP, EG, LFO, VIRTUAL PATCH, and MOD SEQUENCE. If  
the voice mode is Single, only TIMBRE 1 will sound. If the  
voice mode is Dual or Split, both timbres TIMBRE 1 and  
TIMBRE 2 will sound.  
AMP sets the volume, and PAN sets the stereo location.  
Use EG2 to create time-variant changes in volume.  
You can produce hard\harsh tones by turning DIST on. By  
adjusting the filter cutoff and resonance, strong effects can  
be produced.  
OSC1/OSC2/NOISE  
OSC1 (Oscillator 1) allows you to select from eight different  
oscillator algorithms, including basic analog synthesizer  
waveforms such as SAW and PWM, Cross Modulation,  
and the DWGS (Digital Waveform Generator System)  
used on the Korg DW-8000 synthesizer.  
EG1/2  
An EG (Envelope Generator) applies a time-variant change  
to a sound parameter.  
A waveform input from the AUDIO IN 1/2 jacks can also  
be processed.  
On the MS2000/MS2000R, there are two EG’s for each tim-  
bre. Each EG consists of four parameters: ATTACK (attack  
time), DECAY (decay time), SUSTAIN (sustain level), and  
RELEASE (release time).  
OSC2 (Oscillator 2) allows you to select from three types:  
SAW, SQU, and TRI. It can also be used as a modulator  
oscillator for the Sync or Ring modulation characteristic of  
analog synthesizers.  
EG1 is assigned as the envelope source that produces time-  
variant change in the FILTER cutoff frequency.  
NOISE (Noise Generator) produces white noise. This can  
be used for sound effects, etc.  
EG2 is assigned as the envelope source that produces time-  
variant change in the AMP volume.  
MIXER  
If you wish to assign EG1 and EG2 to other parameters,  
you can make VIRTUAL PATCH settings to do so.  
Here you can adjust the levels of OSC1, OSC2 and NOISE,  
and send the combined signal to the FILTER.  
LFO 1/2  
FILTER  
The LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) applies cyclic change  
to sound parameters.  
The FILTER cuts or emphasizes frequency components of  
the signal from the oscillator, thus adjusting the tone  
(brightness, etc.). These filter settings will significantly  
affect the sound.  
You can select from four types of filter: –12 or –24 dB/oct  
LPF (Low Pass Filter), –12 dB/oct BPF (Band Pass Filter), or  
–12 dB/oct HPF (High Pass Filter).  
The MS2000/MS2000R provides two LFO’s for each tim-  
bre, each with four waveforms.  
LFO1 is assigned as the modulation source for OSC1.  
LFO2 is assigned as the modulation source for the pitch  
modulation controlled by the modulation wheel.  
Use EG1 to create time-variant changes in cutoff frequency.  
If you wish to assign LFO1 and LFO2 to other parameters,  
you can make VIRTUAL PATCH settings to do so.

VIRTUAL PATCH  
EFFECTS  
VIRTUAL PATCH allows you to use not only EG or LFO,  
but even velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) or key-  
board tracking (the area of the keyboard you play) as mod-  
ulation sources which can be assigned to sound parameters  
for greater freedom in creating sounds. Four routings (com-  
binations) can be specified for each timbre.  
Each program has a modulation effect, delay, and equalizer.  
For a modulation-type effect, you can select from three  
effects such as chorus.  
For a delay effect, you can select from three types of delay,  
including a stereo delay.  
MOD SEQUENCE  
ARPEGGIATOR  
MOD SEQUENCE is a step sequencer that lets you apply  
time-variant change to various sound parameters in a way  
similar to analog synthesizers of the past.  
This is an arpeggiator with six types of arpeggio type.  
For a program whose voice mode is Dual/Split, arpeggios  
can be played on one or both timbres.  
Use the sixteen knobs on the front panel to set the value of  
each step, and playback to make the sound change.  
Since arpeggiator settings can be made for each program,  
you can create and save an arpeggio type that is suitable for  
the sound of that program.  
You can also operate the knobs in realtime, and record their  
movements (parameter values) in each step (Motion Rec  
function).  
Since each timbre can have up to three sequences, you can  
obtain very complex tonal changes.  
Vocoder programs  
Vocoder programs consist of OSC1/NOISE, MIXER, VOCODER SEC., EFFECT, and ARPEGGIATOR. The vocoder takes a  
signal from the internal tone generator (OSC1/NOISE) or the AUDIO IN 1 jack, applies to it the characteristics of the signal  
that is input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack, and outputs the result. The most popular use for this is to input a voice from a mic  
connected to the AUDIO IN 2 jack, in order to create the effect of an instrument speaking.  
OSC1/NOISE/AUDIO IN 1 jack (carrier)  
VOCODER SEC.  
The OSC1/NOISE signal will be the carrier to which the  
vocoder effect is applied. Waveforms that contain large  
numbers of overtones such as SAW and VOX WAVE are  
ideal for the carrier waveform.  
This consists of two sets of 16 band-pass filters (ANALYSIS  
FILTER and SYNTHESIS FILTER) and the ENVELOPE  
FOLLOWER.  
The audio signal from the AUDIO IN 2 jack (modulator) is  
input to sixteen bandpass filters (ANALYSIS FILTER), and  
the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER detects the volume envelope  
(time-variant change) of each frequency band.  
It is also possible to apply the vocoder effect to a waveform  
that is input to the AUDIO IN 1 jack together with OSC1/  
NOISE.  
The volumes of OSC1/NOISE/AUDIO IN are adjusted by  
the MIXER, and the combined signal is output to the  
VOCODER SEC.  
Then, the signal from the internal tone generator or the  
AUDIO IN 1 jack (carrier) is input to the other set of 16  
band-pass filters (SYNTHESIS FILTER), and processed by  
the envelopes detected by the ENVELOPE FOLLOWER to  
modulate the carrier with the features of the voice, produc-  
ing the impression that the instrument or sound is talking  
(vocoder effect).  
AUDIO IN 2 jack (modulator)  
The signal that is input to the AUDIO IN 2 jack will be the  
modulator. In general, it is most common for a voice to be  
input to the modulator, but you can create unique effects by  
inputting rhythm sounds or other waveforms.  
It is also possible to use the FORMANT SHIFT or CUTOFF  
parameters to change each frequency of the carrier band-  
pass filter. This will cause the frequency response curve to  
be raised or lowered while preserving the character of the  
modulator, and will dramatically affect the tone.

1. Playing a program in which MOD  
SEQUENCE is on  
1Press the SEQ EDIT [SELECT] key to select a sequence  
(SEQ 1–3).  
Some of the factory preset programs contain sequence data.  
Here’s how to select and play these programs.  
1Select a program whose MOD SEQUENCE [ON/OFF]  
key is lit.  
2Rotate the sixteen knobs located beside the SEQ EDIT  
LED so that the ORIGINAL VALUE LED is lit.  
The number shown below each knob corresponds to the  
sequence step.  
As you rotate each knob, the position where the ORIGI-  
NAL VALUE LED lights will be the value that was  
recorded at that step of the sequence.  
Programs whose MOD SEQUENCE [ON/OFF] key is lit  
contain sequence data.  
For some programs, both the sequence and the arpeg-  
giator will be on, but for this example we recommend  
that you select a program in which only the sequence is  
on.  
2Play the keyboard.  
The program will sound, and the sequence will begin  
playing to modify the sound.  
The SELECT [1]–[16] keys will light consecutively to  
indicate the step that is currently playing.  
The value of each step represents the change from the  
written or currently-set value of the parameter.  
If the SEQ EDIT [SELECT] key has selected a sequence  
(SEQ 1–3), you can use the sixteen knobs located beside  
the SEQ EDIT LED to edit the data of each step.  
3Rotate the [TEMPO] knob.  
The speed at which the sound is modified will change.  
2. Checking the parameter that is assigned  
to each sequence  
Here’s how to check the parameter that is assigned to each  
sequence.  
Press the SEQ EDIT [SELECT] key to select a sequence  
(SEQ 1–3).  
The LED of the selected sequence will light, and the  
assigned parameter will be displayed in the LCD screen.  
If “Cutoff” is assigned to SEQ1

The sixteen knobs are normally used to edit program  
sounds (EG or LFO etc.), but when the [SELECT] key  
has selected a sequence, they are used to set and edit  
sequence data.  
The numbers shown below each knob correspond to the  
sequence steps. Rotate the knob for the step you wish to  
set.

Editing effect parameters  
The MS2000/MS2000R contains modulation, delay, and  
equalizer effects. Here we will explain how to make settings  
for the modulation effect and the delay.  
If you specify a value for a step number that is beyond  
the Page 18A: SEQ COMMON “Last Step” setting, it  
will be ignored.  
If you wish to use the front panel knobs to adjust the  
parameters of the modulation effect and delay, you  
must first use the SEQ EDIT [SELECT] key to turn off  
the SEQ 1–3 LED’s.  
You can use the above procedure to edit sequence data  
that was created previously or that was recorded in real-  
time.  
c. Record sequence data in realtime (Motion Rec)  
Motion Rec allows realtime knob movements to be  
recorded in the steps of a sequence.  
Here we will explain how to record movements of the FIL-  
TER [CUTOFF] knob in a program for which sequence data  
has not yet been recorded.

This is the Pelog scale, an Indonesian gamelan scale that  
divides the octave into seven notes. If the “Scale Key” is C,  
use the C, D, E, F, G, A, and B notes  
The timbre will sound in unison.  
If “Mode” is Dual/Split, each timbre will apply a unison  
effect with the number of voices specified by “Timbre  
Voice.”  
User Scale  
This will be the scale that was specified in Global mode  
Page 7A: User Scale.  
If “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyphony  
of the timbre (“Timbre Voice”) has been set to 1 (note),  
the timbre will sound monophonically regardless of  
this setting.  
E: Scale Key........................................................[C...B]  
Specify the key (tonic) that will be the basis of the scale  
selected by “Scale.”  
B: MIDI ch ..............................................[GLB, 01...16]  
Specify the MIDI transmit/receive channel of each timbre.  
GLB  
The global MIDI channel (set in Global mode Page 3A:  
MIDI “MIDI Ch”) will be used as the MIDI transmit/  
receive channel of the timbre. Select GLB if you are play-  
ing the MS2000/MS2000R from its own keyboard or from  
a connected MIDI keyboard.

E: Detune............................................[00cent...99cent]  
OSCILLATOR  
These are the parameters that affect the waveform of the  
oscillator.  
Specify the amount of detuning (difference in pitch) that will  
be applied to notes sounded simultaneously by the Unison  
function.  
This parameter will be displayed and can be set only if  
“Assign” is set to Unison.  
If the “Mode” is Dual/Split and the maximum polyph-  
ony (“Timbre Voice”) of the timbre is 1, this setting will  
have no effect.

A: Wave WAVE ..............................[Saw...Audio In]  
B: Control1 CONTROL1 .........................[000...127]  
C: Control2 CONTROL2 .........................[000...127]  
Wave” selects the waveform for OSC1 (oscillator 1).  
“Control1” and “Control2” set parameters for the selected  
waveform. The parameters that you set will depend on the  
selected waveform.  
PITCH  
These are the pitch-related parameters.  
Page04: PITCH  
Saw  
This is a sawtooth wave, suitable for creating typical ana-  
log synthesizer sounds such as synth bass and synth brass.  
A: Transpose...............................................[–24...+24]  
• Control1  
Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in semitone (100 cent) steps.  
The range is two octaves upward or downward.  
Adjusting this value will modify the waveform.  
A setting of 0 will produce a conventional sawtooth  
wave, and a setting of 127 will produce a sawtooth wave  
one octave higher.  
Changes made by the front panel OCTAVE (or BANK/  
OCTAVE) buttons actually shift the pitches assigned to  
the keyboard (or keys) in one-octave steps, and do not  
affect the pitch of the oscillator that is sounding. Nor are  
such settings saved by the Write operation. If you wish  
to change the pitch of the oscillator itself, you must use  
this “Transpose” setting to specify the pitch.  
• Control2  
LFO1 is used to apply WFM (wave form modulation) to  
the waveform specified by “Control 1.” The “Control 2”  
setting specifies the depth of the modulation produced  
by LFO1.  
By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to  
(Tri) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can create the  
effect of detuning.  
B: Tune ...........................................[–50cent...+50cent]  
Adjust the pitch of the oscillator in one-cent steps.  
The range is –50 – +50 cents.  
C: Vibrato Int..............................................[–63...+63]  
0
63  
127  
Specify the depth of the vibrato effect that is applied when  
the modulation wheel (or for the MS2000R, the modulation  
wheel of a connected external MIDI device) is moved to the  
maximum position.  
The LFO2 will apply a vibrato effect to the pitch of the oscil-  
lator.  
Pulse  
This is a pulse wave, suitable for electronic sounds or  
wind instruments.  
• Control1  
This adjusts the pulse width.  
A setting of 0 will produce a square wave, with a tone  
reminiscent of woodwind instruments such as clarinet.  
At a setting of 127 the pulse width will be 0, and no  
sound will be heard.  
By adjusting the pulse width you can produce sounds  
similar to clavinet or sax.  
D: Bend Range............................................[–12...+12]  
Specify the amount of pitch change in semitones that will  
occur when the pitch wheel is operated. This setting specifies  
the amount of pitch change that will occur when the pitch  
bender is moved to the maximum positive (+) position.  
• Control2  
E: Portamento TIME ...............................[000...127]  
LFO1 is used to apply PWM (pulse width modulation)  
to the pulse width specified by “Control1.” The  
“Control2” setting specifies the depth of the modulation  
produced by LFO1.  
By setting the Page 12A: LFO1 “Wave” parameter to  
(Tri) and adjusting “Frequency,” you can make the  
sound distort.  
This specifies the speed of the portamento effect (a smooth  
change in pitch from one note to the next note of a different  
pitch).  
With a setting of 000, there will be no portamento effect.  
Increasing this setting from 001 will cause the pitch to  
change correspondingly slower.  
If Page 03: VOICE “Assign” is set to Mono or Unison,  
and if “Trigger” is set to Single, portamento will not  
apply to the first-sounded note.

This generates white noise. Within the oscillator, a LPF  
(Low Pass Filter) is provided to process the noise.  
OSC1 Output  
Vox Wave  
Resonance  
This simulates a waveform similar to human vocal cords.  
Even if the oscillator pitch is changed, the frequency spec-  
trum will be maintained, which makes this effective when  
used for vocal-type sounds or as a vocoder oscillator.  
Select HPF or BPF as the filter, and adjust “Cutoff” to cre-  
ate a vocal-type sound.

Genarator  
Cutoff  
• Control1  
This sets the cutoff frequency of the LPF.  
Adjusting this will affect the noise waveform.  
• Control1  
• Control2  
Adjusting this value will modify the waveform.  
This controls the resonance of the LPF.  
If you raise this enough to produce an identifiable pitch,  
the cutoff frequency will move according to the key-  
board location you play, and the change will be heard as  
a pitch.  
• Control2  
LFO1 is used to apply modulation to the waveform  
specified by “Control1.” Control2 sets the depth of the  
modulation applied by LFO1.  
If you want the oscillation produced by resonance to  
match the reference pitch, set “Control1” to 24.

Audio In  
Sync  
If this is selected, the waveform input from the AUDIO IN  
1 or AUDIO IN 2 jack will be used.  
This allows the MS2000/MS2000R to be used as an effect  
processor.  
This modulation forcibly synchronizes oscillator 2 to the  
phase of oscillator 1, forcibly resetting the phase of oscilla-  
tor 2.  
This is effective on synth lead sounds. Use “Semitone” and  
“Tune” to adjust the overtones.  
• Control1  
This adjusts the volume balance between AUDIO IN 1  
and AUDIO IN 2. With a setting of 0 only AUDIO IN 1  
will be output. With a setting of 127, only AUDIO IN 2  
will be output.

A setting of ±63 produces a pitch difference of ±2 octaves,  
and ±48 produces a pitch difference of ±1 octave. A value  
near 0 will make fine adjustments in the pitch.  
B: OSC Mod OSC MOD ...................[OFF...RingSync]  
Select the modulation type for the oscillator.  
If “OSC Mod” is set to Sync, adjustments in “Semitone”

Step Length  
The sequence will modify the length of each step as speci-  
fied by SEQ COMMON “Resolution” in a range of ±6.  
Timbre  
At the first note-on that occurs from a condition of all  
notes off, the sequence will be reset for the timbre that is  
sounding.  
In the case of a Split program, the timbre that is assigned  
to the key for which the note-on occurred will be reset.  
Other  
The sequence will modify the value of the corresponding  
parameter assigned to a panel knob, in a range of ±63 (or  
±24 in the case of OSC2 Semi).  
Voice  
If the same parameter is specified for two or more  
sequences, an “*” will be displayed in the upper right of  
the LCD screen, and the assignment to the higher-num-  
bered sequence (SEQ3 > SEQ2 > SEQ1) will take priority.  
Reset will occur for each voice for which there is a note-on.  
If the sequence and the arpeggiator are both on, you  
should set this parameter to either OFF or Timbre. If  
you select Voice, the sequence will be reset each time the  
arpeggiator sounds. If you select Timbre, the sequence  
will be reset at each chord change.

Parameter Guide  
AUDIO IN 2  
These are the parameters for the input from the AUDIO IN 2  
jack.  
4. Vocoder Parameters  
These are the parameters for a vocoder program (Page 01A:  
COMMON “Mode” = Vocoder).  
VOICE  
Page06: AUDIO IN 2  
A: Gate Sense ............................................[000...127]  
Page03: VOICE  
Specify the speed of the gate that will be applied to the audio  
signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack according to the  
“Threshold” setting.  
Lower values for this setting will make the gate operate  
more quickly, causing the vocoder sound to decay more  
quickly.  
These parameters are the same as for Single synth programs.  
Higher values for this setting will make the gate operate  
more gradually, causing the vocoder sound to have a longer  
decay.  
PITCH  
If the “Threshold” value is high, this effect will apply  
more readily. If the value is 0, there will be no effect.  
Page04: PITCH  
These parameters are the same as for synth programs.  
B: Threshold   
Specify the level at which the audio signal from the AUDIO  
IN 2 jack will be silenced.  
......................[000...127]  
Increasing this value will cause the audio signal to be  
silenced. This lets you eliminate any noise that might be  
heard when no input signal is present.  
OSCILLATOR  
If this setting is set excessively high, the audio signal  
will also be cut, and it will be difficult for the vocoder  
effect to apply.  
Page05: OSC 1  
A: Wave   
............................[Saw...Audio In]  
.........................[000...127]  
.........................[000...127]  
C: HPF Level   
........................[000...127]  
B: Control1   
C: Control2   
Adjust the amount of the high-frequency portion of the  
audio signal input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack that will be  
mixed into the output of the vocoder.  
Increasing this value will emphasize the portion that corre-  
sponds to the consonants of speech or singing.  
Select the waveform of the carrier.  
Saw, Pulse, Tri, VoxWave, DWGS, Noise, Audio In  
D: HPF Gate ................................................ [ENA, DIS]  
Sin  
A sine wave will be used. No cross modulation will be  
applied.  
When mixing the high-frequency portion of the audio signal  
input from the AUDIO IN 2 jack into the output of the  
vocoder, this setting specifies whether this high-frequency  
portion will be output only while the internal tone generator  
is sounding, or whether it will always be output whenever  
there is an input to the AUDIO IN 2 jack.  
• Control1  
Adjusting the value will modify the waveform.  
• Control2  
LFO1 will apply WFM (wave form modulation) to the  
waveform specified by “Control1.” The depth of the  
LFO1 modulation is adjusted by “Control2.”  
ENA  
Use this setting when you wish to apply the vocoder effect  
only to the internal tone generator, or when you wish to  
use the MS2000/MS2000R as a tone generator and connect  
the output of another synthesizer to the AUDIO IN 1 jack.  
DIS  
This setting is effective when you have connected a guitar  
via an effects unit etc. to the AUDIO IN 1 jack.

off.”  
The selectable modulation sources are the same as for the  
Virtual Patch modulation sources (Source) for synth parame-  
ters.  
Page07: MIXER  
Refer to p.42 VIRTUAL PATCH.”  
This sets the output level of the carrier. The level you specify  
here will be the input level to the band-pass filter of the car-  
rier.  
E: Mod Int   
......................... [–63...+63]  
Specify the depth of the modulation that will be applied to  
“Cutoff.”  
A: OSC 1 Level   
..........................[000...127]  
Specify the output level of OSC1 (carrier).  
F: E.F.Sense   
Specify the sensitivity of the envelope follower of the modu-  
lator.  
With low settings of this parameter, the rise and fall of the  
signal from the AUDIO IN 2 jack will be detected rapidly.  
With high settings of this parameter, the change will become  
slower, producing a sound with no attack and a long release.  
With a setting of 127, the response of the signal being input  
at that time will be maintained. Subsequently, the sound will  
be produced with the response that is being held, regardless  
of whether or not there is any input.  
.........................[000...127]  
B: Inst Level   
Specify the output level of the signal that is input from the  
AUDIO IN 1 jack.  
.................................[000...127]  
C: Noise Level   
Specify the output level of the noise generator.  
...........................[000...127]  
FILTER  
If you set this to 127 when there is no input signal  
present there will be no output even if an audio signal  
is subsequently input.  
These are the parameters for the band-pass filter of the car-  
rier.  
Page08: FILTER  
AMP  
A: Formant Shift   
...................[–2...+2]  
This shifts the cutoff frequency of each band-pass filter of the  
carrier, allowing you to dramatically modify the character of  
the vocoder output.  
Page09: AMP  
A: Level   
....................................[000...127]  
B: Cutoff   
.................................[–63...+63]  
Specify the volume level of the internal tone generator  
(OSC1/NOISE) for the carrier.  
This continuously shifts the cutoff frequency of each band-  
pass filter of the carrier.  
How “Formant Shift” and “Cutoff” are related  
When “Formant Shift” = 0 and “Cutoff” = 0, the frequency  
response will be as specified by the cutoff frequencies of  
each band-pass filter of the modulator.  
B: Direct Level   
Specify the volume level of the audio that is output directly  
from the AUDIO IN 2 jack.  
.................[000...127]  
Adjustments to “Cutoff” will smoothly shift the frequency  
response  
The shift in frequency response caused by “Formant Shift”  
is smoothly varied by “Cutoff” in two stages above and  
two stages below (four stages above and below when used  
in conjunction with “Formant Shift”).  
C: Distortion   
If this is ON, distortion will be applied to the OSC1/NOISE/  
AUDIO IN 1 signal.  
........................[ON, OFF]  
D: Vel Sense ............................................... [–63...+63]  
Specify how velocity (keyboard playing dynamics) will  
affect the volume.

Program change  
About MIDI  
Program change [Cn, pp]  
(n: channel, pp: program number)  
By using a MIDI cable to connect MIDI devices, midi data  
can be exchanged between devices even if they are different  
models or were made by different manufacturers. For exam-  
ple you can use the MS2000/MS2000R to control an external  
MIDI device, or conversely use an external MIDI device to  
control the MS2000/MS2000R to make it produce sound.  
When you select a program in Program Play mode, a pro-  
gram change message is transmitted with the number cor-  
responding to the 128 programs (A01–H16) stored in the  
MS2000’s eight banks (A–H).  
When the MS2000/MS2000R receives a program change  
message, it will select a program according to the settings  
of Global mode Page 4F: MIDI FILTER “P.Chg” (program  
change map).  
If you wish to receive program changes, set Global mode  
Page 4A: MIDI FILTER “ProgChg” to ENA. If this is set to  
DIS, program changes will not be received.  
MIDI messages transmitted and  
received by the MS2000/MS2000R  
MIDI channels  
The MS2000/MS2000R does not transmit or receive  
bank select messages ([Bn, 00, mm], [Bn, 20, bb]).  
MIDI uses sixteen channels (1–16). MIDI messages can be  
transmitted and received when the channel of the receiving  
device matches the channel of the transmitting device. The  
MS2000/MS2000R normally transmits and receives MIDI  
messages on its Global MIDI channel.  
Aftertouch  
Channel aftertouch [Dn, vv]  
(n: channel, vv: value)  
The global MIDI channel is set in Global mode Page 3: MIDI  
“MIDI Ch.”  
Performance data such as note-on/off and pitch bend from  
the MS2000/MS2000R is transmitted on the global MIDI  
channel.  
If Global mode Page 3D, E: MIDI “MIDI 1” or “MIDI 2” are  
set to A.Touch, aftertouch can be used as a modulation  
source for a virtual patch of a synth program or for the FC  
MOD of a vocoder program. (These messages will be  
received on the timbre channel.)  
If Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal” is set to  
A.Touch, pedal movements will transmit channel after  
messages on the global MIDI channel.  
If you wish to transmit and receive channel aftertouch, set  
Global mode Page 4B: MIDI FILTER “CtrlChg” to ENA. If  
this is set to DIS, channel aftertouch messages will not be  
transmitted or received.  
Timbre channel  
The number of timbres used will depend on the voice  
mode of the program: a Single program uses one, a Split/  
Dual program uses two, and a Vocoder program uses one.  
A separate MIDI channel can be assigned to each timbre.  
The MIDI channel for each timbre is set in LCD Edit mode  
Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch.”  
If you are playing the MS2000/MS2000R by itself, or using  
an external MIDI keyboard to play it, set the MIDI channel  
of each timbre to be the global MIDI channel (GLB).  
If you are connecting an external MIDI sequencer to the  
MS2000/MS2000R to play each timbre independently, set  
the channel of each timbre to the same channel as the corre-  
sponding track on your MIDI sequencer.  
Pitch bend  
Pitch bend change [En, bb, mm]  
(n: channel, bb: lower digits of value, mm: upper digits of  
value)  
Even if the timbre channel is not set to GLB, control  
changes assigned to effect parameters, Sync Control,  
and Timbre Select will be transmitted and received on  
the global MIDI channel.  
When pitch bend change messages are received, a pitch  
bend effect will be applied according to the value set for  
LCD Edit mode Page 4D: PITCH “Bend Range.” If Global  
mode Page 2D or E: MIDI “MIDI1” or “MIDI 2” are set to  
P.Bend, pitch bend can be used as an FC MOD modulation  
source for the virtual patch of a synth program or vocoder  
program. In this case, the message will act as a modulation  
source where mm=64, bb=00 will be 0 (center value) for the  
range of –127 – +127. (This message is received on the tim-  
bre channel.)  
When you move the PITCH BEND wheel on the MS2000,  
pitch bend change messages are transmitted on the global  
MIDI channel.  
If you want pitch bend change messages to be received and  
transmitted, set Global mode Page 4C: MIDI FILTER  
P.Bend” to ENA. If this is set to DIS, pitch bend change  
messages will not be received or transmitted.  
Note-on/off  
Note-on [9n, kk, vv], Note-off [8n, kk, vv]  
(n: channel, kk: note number, vv: velocity)  
When you play the keyboard of the MS2000, note-on/off  
messages are transmitted. (On the MS2000R, note-on/off  
messages are transmitted when you turn the [KEYBOARD]  
key on and press the SELECT [1]–[16] keys.) The note-off  
velocity is transmitted at a fixed 64, but is not received.  
If the Global mode Page 1C: GLOBAL “Position” is Post-  
KBD, note-on/off messages will be transmitted by the  
arpeggiator if it is running.

Appendices  
Using control changes as a modulation source for  
Control changes  
a virtual patch  
By setting Global mode Page 3D, 3: MIDI “MIDI 1” or  
“MIDI 2” to CC#cc (cc=00–95), you can use control changes  
as the modulation source of the virtual patch of a synth  
program or the FC MOD modulation source of a vocoder  
program. The value 0–127 of the modulation source will be  
used without change, and no distinction will be made  
between upper byte (MSB)/lower byte (LSB) or between  
continuous type/switch type.  
Control changes [Bn, cc, vv]  
(n: channel, cc: control change no., vv: value)  
Movements of the MODULATION wheel or a modulation  
source (MIDI 1, MIDI 2) can be transmitted and received as  
various controllers according to their control change num-  
ber.  
If you wish to transmit and receive control change mes-  
sages, set Global mode Page 4B: MIDI FILTER “CtrlChg” to  
ENA. If this is set to DIS, control change messages will not  
be transmitted or received.  
Assigning control changes to a parameter con-  
troller (knob, key)  
You can make settings in Global mode Page 5A: CTRL  
CHANGE to assign principal parameter controllers of the  
front panel (knobs, keys) to control changes CC#00–CC#95.  
By doing so, you can use these controllers to transmit the  
corresponding control change message, and when the con-  
trol change messages are received the result will be the  
same as if the controller were operated. (p.65 “Front  
panel knob/key control change assignments”)  
• Modulation depth (CC#01) [Bn, 01, vv]  
When modulation depth is received, it will adjust the depth  
of the vibrato produced by LFO2 according to the setting of  
LCD Edit mode Page 4C: PITCH “Vibrato Int.” If the maxi-  
mum value (127) is received, vibrato will be applied over  
the full pitch range specified by “Vibrato Int.” If a value of  
0 is received, no vibrato will be applied.  
When you move the MODULATION wheel of the MS2000,  
modulation depth messages will be transmitted on the glo-  
bal MIDI channel.  
Sound parameter controllers will transmit and receive on  
the timbre channel, and effect parameter controllers will  
transmit and receive on the global MIDI channel.  
• Volume (CC#07) [Bn, 07, vv]  
If the voice mode of the program is Split or Dual and if  
both timbre channels are set to the global MIDI channel  
(GLB), control change messages will be transmitted only  
for the timbre chosen by the front panel TIMBRE SELECT  
[SELECT] key.  
If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal”  
to Volume, pedal movements will transmit volume mes-  
sages on the global MIDI channel. By setting the AMP  
“Level” control change assignment to volume (CC#07), you  
can receive volume messages to control the volume.  
By using the front panel TIMBRE SELECT [SELECT] key to  
switch timbres, you can transmit a message (Timbre Select)  
that specifies the timbre to which the messages will apply.  
When the MS2000/MS2000R receives a Timbre Select mes-  
sage, the timbre will switch according to the received  
value. A control change message is used for this Timbre  
Select message as specified by Global mode Page 4H: MIDI  
FILTER “TimbSelect” (0: Timbre 1, 1–127: Timbre 2).  
• Panpot (CC#10) [Bn, 0A, vv]  
If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal”  
to Panpot, pedal movements will transmit panpot mes-  
sages on the global MIDI channel. By setting the AMP  
“Panpot” control change assignment to panpot (CC#10),  
you can receive panpot messages to move the stereo loca-  
tion of the sound.  
• Expression (CC#11) [Bn, 0B, vv]  
When expression messages are received, the timbre volume  
will be controlled. If the maximum value (127) is received  
the volume will be maximum, and if a value of 0 is received  
the volume will be 0.  
If you set Global mode Page 6A: PEDAL & SW “A.Pedal”  
to Exp Pdl, pedal movements will transmit expression mes-  
sages on the global MIDI channel.  
• Damper pedal (CC#64) [Bn, 40, vv]  
Damper pedal messages can be received to turn the  
damper (hold) effect on/off for a timbre.  
If you set Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL & SW “A.SwFunc”  
to Damper, movements of the assignable switch will trans-  
mit damper pedal messages on the global MIDI channel (0:  
OFF, 7F: ON).  
• Portamento (CC#65) [Bn, 41, vv]  
When portamento messages are received, the portamento  
effect of the timbre will be turned on/off. (If portamento  
time is 0, there will be no portamento effect.)  
If you set Global mode Page 6B: PEDAL & SW “A.SwFunc”  
to Portmnt, movements of the assignable switch will trans-  
mit portamento messages on the global MIDI channel (0:  
OFF, 7F: ON).

Parameters transmitted and received via NRPN  
Front panel knobs and keys other than the controls listed above are assigned NRPN (Non Registered Parameter No.). NRPN  
messages can be used freely by any musical instrument manufacturer or model.  
NRPN editing is performed using the following procedure.  
1Use NRPN MSB (CC#99) [Bn, 63, mm] and NRPN LSB (CC#98) [Bn, 62, rr] (n: channel, mm, rr: parameter no. upper  
and lower bytes) to select the parameter.  
2Use data entry MSB (CC#6) [Bn, 06, mm] (n: channel, mm: parameter value) to specify the value.  
On the MS2000/MS2000R, only data entry MSB is used.  
Controlling the arpeggiator  
When arpeggiator settings are modified by the front panel keys or knobs, the following NRPN messages are transmitted.  
When these NRPN messages are received, the corresponding arpeggiator settings will change accordingly. These messages  
are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel. For the correspondence between the values of the message and the  
values of the MS2000/MS2000R parameter, refer to the table.  
• ON/OFF: [Bn, 63, 00, Bn, 62, 02, Bn, 06, mm] (n: channel, mm: parameter value)

Panel knobs and keys other than the arpeggiator transmit and receive the following NRPN messages. These are transmitted  
and received on the MIDI channel of the timbre. If the voice mode is Split or Dual and the timbre channel (LCD Edit mode  
Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch”) of both timbres is set to the global MIDI channel (GLB), NRPN messages will be transmitted/  
received only for the timbre that is selected by the front panel TIMBRE SELECT [SELECT] key. For the correspondence  
between the values of the message and the values of the MS2000/MS2000R parameter, refer to the table.

sages Start and Stop will control the arpeggiator.

When a Start [FA] message is received, the arpeggiator will  
start from the pitch of the first played note.  
reception will be:  
When a Stop [FC] message is received, the arpeggiator will  
stop. (It will not be turned off; the arpeggiator will start  
again when additional notes are played.)  
0/1: –63, 2: –62...64: 0...127: +63  
If you are using two MS2000/MS2000R units to trans-  
mit and receive these parameters, you must set the  
transmitting and receiving programs to the same set-  
tings.  
System exclusive messages  
Sync control  
MS2000/MS2000R format  
F0: exclusive status  
The first-played note-on will sync a Mod Sequence or LFO  
whose “KeySync” = Timbre. However in order to distin-  
guish manually played note-on/off’s from those that are  
repeated automatically by the arpeggiator, the MS2000/  
MS2000R’s arpeggiator will transmit a Sync Control mes-  
sage at the time of note-on (when Global mode Page 1C:  
GLOBAL “Position” is PostKBD).  
42: Korg ID  
3n: [n=0–F] global MIDI channel  
58: MS2000/MS2000R model ID  
ff: function ID (type of message)  
F7: end of exclusive  
A control change message is used for this Sync Control  
message as specified by Global mode Page 4G: MIDI FIL-  
TER “SyncCtrl.”  
By using Sync Control to apply sync to a Mod Sequence or  
LFO, you can cause each arpeggiated note to advance the  
Mod Sequence or random LFO by one step.  
Universal system exclusive  
System exclusive messages include a special category of  
messages whose purpose is officially defined. These are  
called universal system exclusive messages.  
Of these universal system exclusive messages, the MS2000/  
MS2000R supports Master Volume and Master Fine Tun-  
ing.  
Silencing all notes of a given channel  
• All note off (CC#123) [Bn, 7B, 00]  
Master volume [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 01, vv, mm, F7]  
(vv: lower byte of value, mm: upper byte of value, [mm,  
vv=7F, 7F] is Max, [mm, vv=00, 00] is 0)  
(value is 00)  
When an All Note Off message is received, all currently-  
sounding notes of that channel will be turned off. Some  
sound may linger due to the envelope settings.  
When a Master Volume message is received, the MS2000/  
MS2000R will adjust its overall volume.  
• All sound off (CC#120) [Bn, 78, 00]  
If Global mode Page 1E: GLOBAL “AudioInThru” is  
ON, the input signal of AUDIO IN 1/2 will not be  
affected by Master Volume.  
(value is 00)  
When an All Sound Off message is received, all notes cur-  
rently sounding on that channel will be silenced. While All  
Note Off allows the decay of a note to continue, the All  
Sound Off will silence the sound immediately.  
However, this message is intended for use in emergencies,  
and is not for use during a performance.  
Master fine tuning [F0, 7F, nn, 04, 03, vv, mm, F7]  
(A value of 8192 [mm, vv=40, 00] is center (0 cent,  
A4=440.0Hz), 4096 [mm, vv=20, 00] is –50 cents, and 12288  
[mm, vv=60, 00] is +50 cents.)  
When master fine tuning is received, the value specified for  
the MS2000/MS2000R’s Global mode Page 1A: GLOBAL  
“Mst.Tune” will be ignored, and the overall pitch will be  
specified by the data that was received.  
Resetting all controllers of a given channel  
• Reset all controllers (CC#121) [Bn, 79, 00]  
(value is 00)  
When a Reset All Controllers message is received, all con-  
troller values currently operating on that channel will be  
reset.

Transmitting sound settings etc. (Data Dump)  
Program data and global data can be transmitted as a MIDI  
exclusive data. The action of transmitting MIDI exclusive  
data to an external MIDI device is called a data dump.  
By performing a data dump, you can store various types of  
data on an external MIDI device, or rewrite the sounds or  
settings of a second MS2000/MS2000R.  
Data dumps can be performed on the MS2000/MS2000R as  
follows.  
• In Global mode Page 3F: MIDI Dump, select the type of  
data to be transmitted (1PROG, PROG, GLOBAL, ALL),  
and transmit the data dump.  
1PROG will dump only the data for the program select-  
ing in Program Play mode. When the MS2000/MS2000R  
receives such a data dump, the settings of the currently  
selected program will be rewritten by the data that was  
received.  
In this case, the data will not be saved unless you per-  
form the Write operation.  
PROG will dump the data for all programs saved in  
memory.  
GLOBAL will dump global data (Global mode settings).  
ALL will dump all programs as well as global data.  
If PROG, GLOBAL, or ALL dumps are received by the  
MS2000/MS2000R, the data will be written directly into  
internal memory; you do not need to perform the Write  
operation.  
• When a dump request is received from an external  
device, the MS2000/MS2000R will transmit the data  
dump that was requested.  
• When you switch to LCD Edit mode, the data of only the  
selected program will be dumped.  
If you wish to receive a data dump, set Global mode Page  
4D: MIDI FILTER “SystemEx” to ENA. If this is set to DIS,  
data dumps will not be received.  
If you wish to obtain the “MIDI Implementation” which  
includes details of the MIDI exclusive format, please  
contact a Korg dealer.

Different parameters are assigned to synth parameters and vocoder parameters.  
For programs whose voice mode is Split/Dual, this will apply only to the timbre selected by the TIMBRE SELECT  
[SELECT] key if the timbre MIDI channel (LCD Edit mode Page 03B: VOICE “MIDI ch”) is GLB.  
Effect parameters are transmitted and received on the global MIDI channel, regardless of the timbre MIDI channel.  
If you are using two MS2000/MS2000R units to transmit and receive these parameters, you must set the transmitting  
and receiving programs to the same settings.

Control 2 values when OSC 1 Wave = DWGS  
When the synth parameter OSC 1 “Wave” is set to DWGS,  
the [CONTROL 2] knob will select the DWGS waveform.  
The value of the control change transmitted/received by  
operating the [CONTROL 2] knob corresponds to the  
parameter value as follows.  
“Sync Note” values when LFO 1/2 “Tempo Sync”  
= ON or when DELAY FX “Tempo Sync” = ON  
When “Tempo Sync” is ON for LFO 1/2 or DELAY FX, the  
parameter adjusted by the LFO [FREQUENCY] or  
EFFECTS [SPEED/TIME] knobs will change to “Sync  
Note.” In conjunction with this, the control change values  
transmitted/received by operating the knob will corre-  
spond to the parameter values as follows.

How “Resolution” and  
“Sync Note” values corre-  
spond to note values  
The values of SEQ COMMON or ARPEGGIO “Resolution”  
and LFO or DELAY Sync Note” (when “Tempo Sync” =  
ON) correspond to the following note values.  
Each parameter will function according to the tempo speci-  
fied by the [TEMPO] knob and the note value corresponding  
to its parameter value.  
OSC 2 Semitone values  
The value of the control change transmitted/received by  
operating the OSC 2 [SEMITONE] knob of a synth program  
corresponds to the parameter value as follows.
