The Analogue Grinder

Routing sterile digital stems through the Korg MS-10's External Signal processor transforms the synthesiser into a highly characterful outboard effects unit. Below are the core treatment protocols available.

Introduction

"I'm trying to convey the whole point of trying this Voltage & Wave re-amping approach... how different a stem may sound from taking the signal as is, as a digital signal in and out, versus running that through the crying circuits of the Korg MS-10."

1st Edition: Errata & Updates

Studio gremlins infiltrated the proofreading phase. Please review these physical hardware and patch routing adjustments:

  • 1. Silencing the VCO: Select Rectangle (Pulse) and turn PW/PWM fully clockwise to mute the internal drone.
  • 2. Input Location: Use the EXT SIGNAL IN jack on the front right patch panel.
  • 3. S-Trigger: Route MIDI through the Kenton's S-Trigger output into TRIG IN.
  • 4. Headroom: Patch directly from your interface line output via a TS cable (skip the re-amp box).

About these interactive demos

Audio, waveforms, and spectrograms are generated live in your browser. Rather than relying on heavy, static audio files of hardware captures, this streamlined approach uses Web Audio to ensure instant playback, crisp interactive visualizations, and a lightweight page design while clearly illustrating the mechanics of each protocol. In these demos, synth tones stand in for the DAW stems.
