Desktop/rack version of the popular Altered FM synthesizer

The opsix module is the space-saving module version of the opsix mkII and, with the exception of the keyboard and the pitch/modulation wheels, has the same controls and features as the innovative Altered FM synthesizer from KORG. Thanks to its clever operator mixer, FM synthesis can be experienced more intuitively than ever before, because each operator is assigned a fader and a rotary control that can be used to adjust the volume and mood. Color-coded lighting on the control elements provides information at any time as to whether a modulator or a carrier is being manipulated. To determine the basic characteristics of a sound, there are 40 different algorithms to choose from for each sound program, although you can also create your own user algorithms if desired. As if that weren't enough, the Altered FM synthesis also offers additional operator modes such as ring modulation, filter, filter FM or wave folder, which makes the opsix a true monster synth with an enormous range of classic and completely new ones able to cover sounds. The powerful multimode filter and the three high-quality effect blocks offer additional options for further sound shaping. Thanks to its polyphony of 80 voices, even more extensive sound experiments are no obstacle for the opsix module, and classic FM pianos can also be played with as full and natural sounding as you could ever have imagined using an optional damper pedal ;umt has. Thanks to the virtual patchbay, up to 12 custom routings can be created per program, which allows even more freedom in sound design. The 16-step step sequencer can handle polyphonic sequences with up to six notes per step as well as motion sequences with up to six different lanes. A clever randomize function allows you to create new sounds on a random basis. In addition, the opsix module supports the MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange Standard as well as polyphonic Aftertouch and is therefore an ideal complement to the KORG Keystage MIDI 2.0 Keyboard. For use as a desktop module, you can choose between two different setup angles. will be held. Alternatively, the opsix module can also be installed in a particularly space-saving 4 height units in a conventional 19" rack.

I can't believe it! In 1987, I bought a used DX7 and became fascinated with FM synthesis. I loved the sounds and the difference it brought to the world of sound at the time. However, FM synthesis was incredibly complicated to use, which didn't stop me from falling in love with a SY 88 (AFM) and eventually the Montage 6 (FMX). But unfortunately, this type of synthesis remained extremely difficult to manipulate. Then Korg released the Opsix! This time, FM synthesis is ultra-accessible. The control of the operators is clear, and you can directly adjust their volume, harmonics, and feedback. It's brilliant! And new functions are added to the operators, such as wave shaping and ring modulation: This opens up completely new possibilities (including lush pads). It's not a small synthesizer that reminds you of the DX7 (as Yamaha also released the Reface), but rather a powerful super DX7! The front panel has 6 assignable knobs that provide access to all stages of the synthesis, just like the new analog synthesizers that are respected. The sound is magnificent and precise, and to top it all off, there's an arpeggiator and a step sequencer. The effects processor completes the prestigious sound produced by the entire system: Wonderful effects, like those we've come to expect from Korg, including amp simulations. If you love the particular flavor of FM, go for it!
