In 1986, Eric Persing was Chief Sound Designer for Roland® and was closely involved with their development of an innovative rack mounted digital piano module called the MKS-20, that was not based on samples, but rather on a type of early additive re-synthesis called “Structured Adaptive®” synthesis. This ground-breaking technology provided an extremely expressive response, compared to the limited sampling technology of that era. The MKS20 cleverly combined the digital side of the instrument with high-quality analog components and FX. As a result, there was always something very special about its unique sounds and the module became an essential tool in the rack of every pro keyboardist - featured on literally hundreds of hit records. It's with great joy that we can present the best of this “Vintage Digital” sound module in Keyscape!
