for years i've been the not so proud owner of a korg se300 tape echo. it's hard to find any info on it, but people who own it, generally prefer it to the hallmark of tape delays, the famous 1973 roland re-201 space echo. my own se300 sounded pretty lame though, so i didn't understand what all the fuss was about. until i had it repaired last week.

after getting deep into the korg polysix emulation, i took some time out to give the korg ms20 emulation a good work out and create some presets for it. that the original is loved by many and has become a classic is quite surprising, considering that its sound isn't exactly pleasing. but what it lacks in beauty, it more than makes up for with character.
