Korg MS-02 CV Gate Converter Interface 100V #58736

WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This Interface works as it should, and all of the potentiometers and switches are in excellent working condition.

Note that this unit is rated at 100v and works and was tested with 120V, but optimally it should have a step-down transformer for use in the USA to go from 120V to 100V. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. All knobs, jacks, and switches are in fantastic condition, and the chassis metalwork is unmarred. All of the print is highly legible and the rear Korg logo is still bright white after nearly 50 years.

FUNCTION: CV Gate Converter Synthesizer Interface

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Vintage Korg MS-02 CV Gate Converter Interface. (100V)

The Korg MS-02 is a vintage CV/Gate interface converter from the late 1970s, designed primarily to bridge the compatibility gap between Korg's Hz/V control standard and the V/Oct standard used by most other manufacturers.

SPECS:

• The Korg MS-02 acts as a sophisticated signal processor that allows Korg MS-series synthesizers (like the MS-10 or MS-20) to communicate with gear from brands like Roland, Moog, and modern Eurorack systems.
• CV Conversion: It converts control voltage between the "Hz/V" (exponential) standard used by Korg/Yamaha and the "V/Oct" (linear) standard used by Moog, ARP, and Roland.
• Trigger Conversion: It handles trigger signal conversion between S-Trig (short trigger) and V-Trig (voltage trigger).
• Utility Channels: The unit includes an Adding Amplifier for summing CV signals, Junction channels that act as buffered multiples, and dedicated Log/Anti-log amps for precise tracking.
• Controls: Features include CV Trim, Gate Trim, and Trigger Level knobs to ensure accurate tracking and pitch adjustment between different instruments.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and does not include any accessories.
