The MiniKorg is something of a performance device, really; it's the monophonic synth that has all of its controls _under_ the keyboard, which shows that it dates from the days when people would pile up keyboard stacks to perform. It's a very simple, one-VCO monophonic synth, nothing overtly fancy, but it does have some good sounds that can be got out of it. The most notable use of it was by Greg Hawkes in The Cars...most of those really cool synth leads were out of this thingy. Have a look at a Cars keyboard setup from c. 1978-80, and you'll see one, perhaps two MiniKorgs. The MS-series is very different, they're the semi-modular devices from a couple of years later. D.A.C.

Hmmm...now this might just be what we in the USA were being sold as the "MaxiKorg", something of the MiniKorg's counterpart. Although..."Travel"? Now that's a new one... I will admit that these Korgs are just a bit before my time; the first piece of Korg gear that I have major familiarity with is the semi-modular MS-20, which is a very nice, very flexible piece of equipment if you dig into that patch panel some. Supposedly, there was a whole large _series_ of Korg MS gear; maybe Dan @ Korg could run down what was on it and which models there were, but I remember the MS-20, a simpler device called the MS-10, then there was something of an expansion module, an analog sequencer, and a vocoder, all of it in cases similar to the MS-20.
