Korg opsix

The Korg Opsix may be small, but it has a fantastic sound. With 250 factory presets (and 250 user slots), you can get started right away. From there, designing your sound with the Opsix is almost as intuitive as any analog synthesizer you've ever held in your hands.

Analog experts will feel right at home with the Opsix's 21 oscillator waveforms, three built-in envelopes, three LFOs, and 11 powerful filters, while Korg's versatile V.Patch virtual patching system keeps routing simple. Create new sounds with Opsix's polyphonic 16-step sequencer, load notes into the 7-pattern arpeggiator, or turn on the Randomize function to create new patches. FM synthesis has never been so accessible!

When the first digital synthesizers appeared in the early 1980s, many keyboardists found them frustratingly complicated to use, despite their obvious sonic potential. With the Opsix, Korg took a fresh, modern approach to FM. The 6-operator FM synthesis makes the enormously powerful FM sound generation method accessible to any musician who has ever played a classic analog synthesizer.

Equipped with an easy-to-use 6-fader operator-level mixer, a 6-button ratio mixer, six rotary encoders for data entry, and a flexible sound engine that goes far beyond basic FM, the Opsix expands the potential of digital synthesis. Whether you're an '80s FM purist or a complete newcomer to digital synthesis, the Korg Opsix is an indispensable addition to your synthesizer setup.
