It may or may not make an interesting topic... but as I listen to more and more demos of new hardware synth technology as well as the huge variety of VSTi, I start to think about what really works with the music I want to make. Something I find appealing about the Opsix which is why I will probably get it (and why I have numerous older FM hardware in my studio) is that it can fit or can be designed to fit in context in a musical piece. Seems a lot of hardware and software manufacturers are competing for the most motion and constantly evolving thick or complex textures. These sounds are fun no doubt but they take up so much space that they leave little room for composition that utilizes harmony, counterpoint - space, etc. FM as well as classic mono synths don't seem to hog as much sonic space. I think I'm going to really dig the subtlety as well as the diversity that the Opsix has to offer. Cheers.

You are totally right, FM and the nonharmonic overtones it can generate gives you access to SO much more of the sonic spectrum! They are so surgically rich. You can only fit so many harmonics of a fundamental before they all clash and phase each other in and out. FM avoids all that. Great observation!

So I dug deep and found it to be quite enjoyable and nice to work with. Sound wise though, FM sounds has so much personality, and on a personal note I slightly prefer other FM platforms over this one. But it’s still a great synth, at a great price.

@@danielsonderhoff5882 yeah the Opsix is very reliable, and great value for the money. Extreme depth and modern sounding. I guess my ears are charmed by the legacy, that’s all. MegaFM is very wonky, and limited compared to this modern synth. But it would never be a replacement for the Opsix. And something like the Digitone is a very different and more technical experience too, but with extreme clarity in the sound. Speaking from the heart, I honestly think Volca FM has much more clarity than Opsix, and this surprised me, since it’s coming from the same company. Is it just imagination?

Thanks partly to this demo, I bought an Opsix - so thank you! (I would have got a PolyBRUTE, but didn't have the budget.) I've already had a lot of fun discovering ways to achieve various things. The virtual modulation patches are useful, I'd even say essential, for some situations: I'm very glad they included that feature. Overall it's a great little machine: it's small; it's light (I can just about lift it between thumb and forefinger!); and it sounds really nice on headphones... I think it's a good synth to sling in the car if you're going away for a few days, actually. A mobile experimentation lab. Nice job, Korg!

And besides, to get the same control and colours of tone within the eurocrack world would cost thousands. Korg is definitely on a roll, an analog/FM hybrid drum machine would be superb, - kind of KR55 meets Basimilus Iteritas. love to ALL, feel no hate

I had a SY77 and that was a unique machine, I regret selling. it would use samples as an operator..

Thank you for the great deep dive into this synth. I am looking foreward a lot for my unit. I didn't know it's so versatile. Reminds me on the Blofeld for its huge modulation options. This is the kind of FM machine I was looking for. It might be the first synth making FM really easy to program and understand. If this was the intention, Korg succeeded. I got several FM and PD hardware synths; but they all are a pain in the ass to program: so I can't wait to lay my fingers on the Opsix, exploring the vast sound capabilities... your video is a great inspiration. 😊 Cheers!

I'm a bit surprised - this doesn't actually seem that much easier to edit than the Yamaha SY77. I'm guessing it is, obviously, but once you get used to something like the SY77/99, the workflow is pretty decent. They only fail in that their ADSRs are like, ridiculously complex. Great sounds and tutorial. Thanks for sharing. SY77 benefits are: magnificent 61 key keyboard, excellent series of algorithms (with up to 3 assignable feedback loops), crap effects which sound great in a way. Once you updated the screen, it looks great too. That said - being able to load DX7 presets and having an better/newer workflow shouldn't be underestimated. I just don't mind the SY77 workflow personally.
@JobimSynthMusic
@JobimSynthMusic 4 жыл бұрын
As I progress through this video I tend to agree, the programming basics are the same, however, SY77 has only one data entry fader, where in opsix you have 6 knobs for ratio, 6 faders for level and 6 more data entry knobs , that seems to make a very important difference, for example as cuckoo uses the fader to have a feel of the envelope he will program. I'm impressed by the opsix, it has a very nice sound, relatable to the SY77, and that editing interface is inspiring me to try to implement a configuration for the BCR 2000 and my TG77 module.
@MIDERA
@MIDERA 4 жыл бұрын
@@JobimSynthMusic Yeah. I agree with you. For a price comparison, the SY77 is still a good alternative, especially with the 5 octave keyboard with aftertouch and loopable envelopes. The filters are 'ok' and I don't think they're as special as people make them out to be, especially because I can't get the filter to self-resonate by pitch. If that's possible, I've never figured it out. Seems like a great synth (the Opsix) though. Korg is carrying on the legacy that other manufactures have abandoned. This should have been Yamaha's, but they've slept way too long on it.
@tuesss
@tuesss 2 жыл бұрын
As someone who wanted to buy the SY99 but couldn't find one so bought the opsix instead as a sort of "consolation prize", I kinda agree it can be seen as an alternative, but to be honest, a few hours after my opsix arrived I was glad I didn't buy the Yamaha. Don't get me wrong, I'd still consider buying SY77/SY99/TG77 if I had unlimited space, they are truly impressive (especially for over 30 year old synths), but the possibilities with the opsix are just mind-blowing. I only wish it had more advanced envelopes, like Yamaha's, because one can make software EGs arbitrarily complex at negligible cost, so I don't understand Korg's decision. Maybe they were afraid it would be too intimidating? I'd be fine with additional envelope stages and loopability being hidden behind some special button combination or global setting. Who knows, maybe they will add that in a future update... (please, Korg!)

I wonder if the desktop editor has decent screen reader compatibility. I'm pretty sure it has mouseover tooltips, which I know aren't entirely sufficient all by themselves but at least are a lot better than the hardware unit offers. I suppose it all really hinges on whether it supports the tab key and/or arrow keys to navigate. It's not a totally separate desktop editor like the microKORG has, but is actually part of the VST version of opsix. Which I find a bit annoying to be honest, bundling that functionality together rather than just releasing a free tool like they used to. But at least they give a heavy discount for the hardware owners...? Even so, I can't try it myself to answer you because I don't want to pay _any_ extra. Anyway, as I understand it you can live edit sounds on the desktop while playing on the hardware, or preview sounds on the computer (since it _is_ a full soft-synth) and later push them to the hardware. But again, I don't actually own the VST version to check, I only have the hardware.

I have been making awesome sounds with it. But I find even with loading sysex and such It is very hard to learn and not easy to change parameters on the fly. Then I see this. Now I am thinking I want this synth too! Even if I buy one I will always have this DX7, such and awesome synth. If you want swing by my channel and you will hear it in some of my music.

@truecuckoo
@truecuckoo 4 жыл бұрын
Right now it’s not multi layered, nor split of full patches. You can set up a patch to seem like that. Like three operators on the left, three on the right. But it’s not the same thing. BUT it seems capable of doing it. When changing patches you can hold one sound, while loading a new sound and play that new sound while still holding the old sound, with rich polyphony. I think they could technically offer this in a future software update, should they want to.

@@truecuckoo thanks. That's a severe limitation to one voice at a time with 32 voice polyphony. I'm a FM fan former owner of the Yamaha dx7 II fd with the e board and tx802 and tx81z FM modules. Each one of those allowed stacking of up to 8 voices which allow for insane sounds that I miss so much. My mind goes crazy when I think of all of the potential lost. Just think, with all of the added algorithms synth features eq effects sequencer arp motion on this, and the unlimited potential, but only if it allowed you to layer And split those sounds. I am hoping an update changes that. I am thinking the Yamaha modx FM engine with 128 polyphony splitting layering etc arp sequencing 8 operator would be Way more versatile, but it has no after touch and does not have this classic button friendly lay out. I am hoping a software or hardware upgrade can change this as FM is not very hard on computers. I wonder if a more powerful processor can be installed. It also needs way more program storage. Like 100 time more. So people can make store share sell and connect sounds. FM is like 100th if the file size of samples. Otherwise it looks like I will find a used montage or modex but just fit the FM.

@@Tigerex966 I think you are on the right path... for a few hundred bucks more a modx serves up "eight" FM engines within a single performance. Other specs: multitimbral, 61 keys, incredible effects, motion control, larger touch screen, AWM2 engine, strong documentation/support and the list goes on. The OPSIX has it's value and place and for those reasons it's a welcome addition to the FM synth market. Hopefully the street price will make it a more attractive alternative to the MODX?. Yamaha does have controlling interest in Korg so I suppose they are friendly cousins.

So cool how you added some kind of damper noise to the EP. Many just stick to the original DX7 preset, but there certainly is room for improvement. Great video, you managed to master this device in a fairly short time I suppose?

Thanks mate! Yeah I think it has a good logic structure, which is always helpful when learning a new electronic instrument. Although it takes more time to find the sweetspots.

@@truecuckoo Thanks to your video I played the Opsix yesterday evening in a different way. Less fear to dive into features there were unknown or didn't seem so important to me before. It's like having bought tools to paint, but you're showing how and what to paint! Oh, somebody already compared you to Bob Ross :)

Nice video as always. A couple of questions. 1.Can you fine tune the ratio to like 1:250? 2. Can you loop the envelopes? 3. Is there a S&H function like on the Elektron Digitone where it holds the current trig at that position? Would be sweet to know!
