The Korg MS-20 clone, the Behringer K-2, was announced by the German music instrument and accessory company last month in what came as a surprise to the synth community. Although it's not been available to pre-order from a select few European retailers for some days, there was one element of the release that was lacking. No video demo.
That's changed today as Behringer have released their own first-look (and listen) for the K-2:
I think you'll likely agree after watching this that Behringer's K-2 is another synthesizer that not only looks great but sounds impressive too.
