Korg Opsix FM Synthesizer
Descrizione
Billed as an 'altered' FM synthesis bomb, the Korg Opsix is Korg's generous way of completely flipping the way we think about FM synthesis and finally making it accessible to all! With its 37 'keyboard action' keys, the Korg Opsix is relatively compact, while the six-'operator'-strong sound generator is anything but. Using these operators, you can bend and shape FM sound to your will using a fistful of added waveforms, a filter that includes hints of subtractive synthesis (like that of the MS-20), so you can manipulate digital sound - the analogue way.
The Opsix: Presets and Presents!
As you'd expect of any solid synthesizer, a nice stack of presets comes included. In the special case of the Opsix, this means 40 algorithms (a combination of different operators and links), that you can start playing with and add your own flavours to. You can, of course, just build from the ground up using the modulation options provided by three EGs and three LFOS, with the possibility of up to 12 virtual patches, giving you more than enough room to play in terms of routing options. Then, you can always drench the result in up to three of the effects found in the bank of 30. If your inspiration has all but dried up, then you can simply lean on the randomise function and let the Opsix entertain you with some random noise depending on a couple of parameters: just the operators? Or all-in?
FM: Analysis is Essential!
When it comes to FM synthesis, it's essential to actually be able to see what you're doing with the sound. As such, Korg have thoughtfully built a display screen in complete with a spectrum analyser. This handy analyser shows you details about the output levels of all the different frequency bands, and you can take a nice, detailed look at and asses any harmonic distortion shifts. You can also make some good use of the oscilloscope which offers a brilliantly smooth way of looking at the output-waveform post-processing. This might just be FM synthesis at its most streamlined.

The Korg Opsix: The 'Altered' FM Synthesizer
lunedì 16 novembre 2020 di KimClinging to the hefty coattails of the immense Wavestate, Korg let slip that they're not done spoiling us with their new line of high-grade yet affordable synthesizers by dropping the formidable bomb that is the Korg Opsix!

Ik had al enkele klassiekers in huis zoals de Roland D-50 en JD-800, Korg M1, Wavestation, Trinity en Triton... maar een Yamaha DX7 had ik nooit in bezit. Ik was immers nooit dol op de vrij harde scherpe overall sound van FM synths en las overal dat die ook moeilijk te editeren zijn. Toch haalde ik vaak warmere sounds uit mijn TG77 (ook een FM synth) waardoor ik toch interesse kreeg in de opsix.
Na het bekijken van enkele demo's op Youtube raakte ik overtuigd van de editeer mogelijkheden en hoorde ook de voor mij noodzakelijke warme sounds. Dus toch maar besteld.
Ik heb de opsix nu 4 dagen in huis en elke dag een uurtje mee gespeeld. Nog geen handleiding gelezen en enkel wat met de knoppen en schuivers aanpassingen gedaan aan de presets en dat gaat best heel intuitief :-) De opsix heeft ook een uitgebreide filtersectie en effectensectie. Het is zeker een blijver en zal een optisch geslaagd geheel worden met zijn broertje Wavestate. Samen zijn dat twee toppers die Korg in 2020 uitbracht. Dank aan Bax voor de vlotte levering en de competitieve prijs :-)) ik had dan ook nog een kortingsbon wat het helemaal interessant maakte !
