Korg opsix Module FM Synthesizer

Korg opsix Module FM Synthesizer Product Details

Description

The opsix module is the space-saving modular version of the opsix mkII and has the same controls and features as the innovative Altered FM synthesizer from KORG, with the exception of the keyboard and pitch/modulation wheels. Its clever operator mixer makes FM synthesis more intuitive than ever before, as each operator is assigned a fader and a knob for adjusting volume and tuning. Color-coded illumination of the controls indicates at all times whether a modulator or a carrier is being manipulated. To define the basic characteristics of a sound, 40 different algorithms are available for each sound program, although you can also create your own user algorithms if you wish. As if that wasn't enough, the Altered FM synthesis also offers additional operator modes such as ring modulation, filter, filter FM or wave folder, making the opsix a true monster synth that is capable of covering an enormous range of classic and completely new sounds. The powerful multimode filter and the three top-class effect blocks offer additional possibilities for further sound shaping. Thanks to its polyphony of 80 voices, even more expansive sound experiments are no obstacle for the opsix module, and even classic FM pianos can be played as full and natural-sounding as you've always dreamed of with an optional damper pedal. Thanks to the virtual patchbay, up to 12 custom routings can be created for each program, allowing even more freedom in sound design. The step sequencer with 16 steps can process 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 the creation of new sounds on a random basis. The opsix module also supports the MIDI 2.0 property exchange standard and polyphonic aftertouch, making it an ideal complement to the KORG Keystage MIDI 2.0 keyboard. For use as a desktop module, you can choose between two different installation angles. Alternatively, the opsix module can also be installed in a conventional 19" rack to save space in 4 height units.
