Korg’s fresh and expansive reimagining of classic digital synthesis, the Opsix sidesteps the often frustrating drawbacks of complex traditional 6-operator FM (Frequency Modulation) sound generation in favor of a much more musical and immediate approach that Korg calls “altered” FM synthesis. It all adds up to a staggering amount of power, wrapped in a tidy, 37-key chassis with accessible hands-on controls that give you the real-time sound-shaping immediacy you would sooner expect to find on an analog synth. FM synth mavens at Zoso Music are finding the Korg Opsix to be an incredibly flexible synth capable of a multitude of unique sounds. We think you’ll agree.
