MS-20 is a classic analog synthesizer emulation plugin from Korg, recreating the legendary Korg MS-20 vintage hardware synth from the 1970s. It is distributed as an Audio Unit (AU) plugin for use inside compatible DAWs and host applications through the KORG Software Pass ecosystem. The plugin offers authentic oscillator modulation, analog-style filter emulation, and touch-keyboard interface, allowing producers and sound designers to access the tonal character of the original hardware within their digital workflow. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionMS-20 is an Audio Unit plugin bundled and updated through the KORG Software Pass ecosystem, not as a standalone application. Since a native Apple Silicon build of MS-20 has already been confirmed in the wild, you can access it by ensuring your KORG Software Pass installation is up to date. Check the KORG website or launch KORG Software Pass on your Mac to see if a new version of the MS-20 plugin is available through the host's plugin manager or KORG's official update mechanism. Installing the latest version of the KORG Software Pass will deliver the native build to your system. Once installed, your DAW should automatically recognize and use the native Apple Silicon version of MS-20 the next time you rescan or reload audio units.
