EXi: MS-20EX
Note: You can also select the output jack. However, if the
output is connected to more than one input, all of the
connections from that output will be affected, as described
below.
2. Press the Disconnect button in the Detail Panel.
The selected connection will be deleted.
Deleting all connections from an output
You can delete all connections from an output at once—
convenient if the output has been connected to multiple
inputs.
Touch-drag method
1. Touch the input jack, and drag to the Disconnect
button in the Detail Panel.
All of the output's connections will be deleted.
Touch method
1. Touch the output jack.

Patch Panel modifications
In comparison to the original MS-20, the MS-20EX has
some important additional features on the Patch Panel. These
include:
• Individual access to each of the two oscillators, two
filters, and final VCA
• Separate EXi AUDIO INPUT and BAND PASS
FILTER IN, which allow you to route signals through
the band pass filter and/or frequency-to-cv converter,
while using the audio input separately
• Dual two-input mixers with phase inversion
These modifications open up many new possibilities, such
as:
• Route VCO 1 through the HPF, and VCO 2 through the
LPF (or vice-versa)
• Mix VCO 1 and VCO 2 together, and then route the mix
through the HPF and LPF in parallel, instead of in series
268
2. Press the Disconnect button in the Detail Panel.
All of the output's connections will be deleted.
Clearing all connections from the Patch Panel
To completely clear the Patch Panel, so that you can start
from scratch:
1. Open the menu, and select the Delete All Connections
command.
All connections will be deleted.
Different jacks have different voltage scales
Pay attention to the voltage indications (0~+5, -5V~+5V,
5Vp-p, GND, etc.) on the Patch Panel, and their
relationships to the block diagram and signal flow chart.
For instance, if you connect a -5~+5V control signal to a
0~+5V input jack, nothing will happen during the -5~0V
portion of the control signal. It will only operate from 0V to
+5V. Always consider both the characteristics of the output
and the input.
• Use AMS of the MIXER LEVELS to modulate the
relative levels of these parallel filters, from physical
controllers, LFOs, EGs, etc.
• Route any audio source (such as a VCO or the NOISE
GENERATOR) through the BAND PASS FILTER,
and then mix the results back in to either the HPF or
LPF, or to the final VCA
• Invert the polarity of a modulation or audio signal via
MIXER 1 or 2
• Use VCO1 or 2 to modulate LPF or HPF cutoffs, or
VCA gain
• Reverse the order of the LPF and HPF (most noticeable
with high PEAK settings)
• ...and many more avenues for you to explore on your
own.
