In this first part of my three‑video MS2000 sound‑design series, I walk through building a lush, evolving pad from a fully initialized patch. We explore oscillator choices, modulation routing, filter shaping, effects, and even motion sequencing for stereo movement.
If you’re using a MicroKorg or MicroKorg plug‑in, everything here applies directly—the engines are the same.
