Korg opsix module
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 you wish. 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 that is able to cover an enormous range of classic and completely new 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 even classic FM pianos can be played with the full and natural sounding of an optional damper pedal, as you have always dreamed of. 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 at random. The opsix module also 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 installation angles. Alternatively, the opsix module can also be installed in a particularly space-saving 4 height units in a conventional 19" rack.
