From The Studio - Korg Opsix

[@synthsploration9523]

Thanks for this simpler practical application approach to the opsix. Mine is coming back out of it's box this weekend.

[@stereoroid]

I would also recommend the videos by Oscillator Sink, who gets his opsix to do some weird stuff. Karplus-Strong string synthesis, emulating the Roland Juno or Buchla Easel, and more. The extra waveforms also make it powerful in cases where you don’t use FM much or at all.

[@StarskyCarr]

Yeah - so much more in here than FM

[@guymorrison4800]

This is easier than IL Sytrus raw no presets and 😆😆😆😆😆 free vst Panzer Tank. I think the setup at Opsix is non scientist user friendly. Thumbs up.

Great presentation. For a nooby the bit of historical context was really helpful. Thank you

[@StarskyCarr]

glad I'm not just talking to myself in this bits. Cheers.

I'm assuming that the OPSIX hardware can control the software, right? Thanks for posting.

[@michaels5166]

Glad to see versatile gear,you can do a bit of 'hacking ' with..reminds me of why i got my Polyend Tracker...Can we use the software version with the hardware OP6 at the same time????????

[@StarskyCarr]

I'm not sure if you can use it as an editor tbh.

[@Paul_Y_T]

another great video - thanks Starsky!

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks Paul :)

Your cat is incredible looking. Also OpSix NOICE, mine arrives tomorrow…..synth, not cat. Synths I’m addicted to, cats I’m allergic to. ;)

[@StarskyCarr]

I'm allergic to cats too!!

7:08 sounds like a DS-8 bass

How big is the centre of the Venn diagram between this and a digitone? Mulling over adding an FM synth to the collection.

[@hermask815]

I guess it comes down to the items you care about. For some guys the simple envelopes of digitone and Opsix are unacceptable, they want those of the dx7. I didn’t buy the digitone because I cared about the additional waveforms of the Opsix. With 4 operators(digitone )vs 6 operators (Opsix) you already have 66% ;-) . Subtractive analog aficionados buy gear for far less differences.

[@squoblat]

@@hermask815 well that justifies more GAS... the obvious answer is to get both :D

[@charthers8903]

Wait why did you use a different keyboard with the software?

[@StarskyCarr]

So I didn't have to keep on turning the volume on the OP6 up and down. It just gets far too confusing!!

[@RussArteaga]

Does stuff haha!!

[@StarskyCarr]

Haha sometimes there's just not time to explain... and sometimes I've no idea what's happening :)

[@michael7018]

This one of the most interesting FM sound sculpturing synth ever made and you didn’t even touched 10% of what it can do instead you just complain about the weight it’s look etc… I mean man! Wow. 👎🏻 you pass judgement without knowing whatsoever how you create sonic landscape with it… perhaps if above your head I guess.

[@swid_swid_swid]

I think you can respect a synth’s capabilities (which Mr. Carr definitely seems to do here) while noting its shortcomings or failings. I just ordered one of these (in part inspired by these videos - I have a DX7 and it doesn’t get a ton of use, this would), but I personally think it’s worth noting that these have quite a cheap feel to them (I already have a Wavestate, same build quality). I think he’d have failed as a reviewer if he just continued to gush about what it can do without ever mentioning that it feels like a toy.
