KORG opsix ALTERED FM SYNTHESIZER Demo & Review

[@masanorimatsuda4462]

デザインが MONTAGE とJUPITERーXmを 足して2で割ったような感じですね〜 音はさすが　FMそのものですね〜 FMの音作りのつまみとスライダーの インターフェースが素晴らしいですね〜 氏家さんがレクチャーすると 欲しくなっちゃいます😄

Ujiie: The Synthesizer King (シンセサイザーキング)

[@MCMCMusic]

これはイイ!　これまでFM音源はうまく扱いきれなかったけれど、これなら直感的に分かります！

[@johnross6658]

This is the WILDEST CREATIVE MUSIC DEVICE. THAT I HAVE EVER HEARD YET!!

[@mvoproject]

Love my SY77, but this machine is really enjoyable and creative one =) Thank You for another one cool demo, Ujie-san! You are still one of THE BEST!

[@sauce_aux]

Still my favorite demonstrator 👌🏽

[@retron_retoron]

このようなシンセが登場して嬉しい♪あえてKORGから発売されたことがスバラシイ！

[@freddie_video]

これは面白い音源！FMでありながら別なシンセ的でもあり、アナログ的アプローチもできるシンセ！ 流石に今回ばかりはタッチの良い5オクターブ鍵盤が欲しい！

[@xp50player]

The best demo I have seen so far.👍

[@outrunsega]

これは買いですね。PS５やめてこっちにします。

[@akihikoarakawa1743]

6オペのFM欲しくてどうしようか?と考えていたところでした。これは良い!買いです！

[@venomslair137]

This Korg physically looks like a Polysix or a Mono/Poly... But in sound is a DX7 on roids!!! Nice!!!

[@WrvrUgoThrUR]

Just got one (Late 2023) Never had so much fun noodling and tweaking patches and creating sequences on a synth!!! And I had and have more than a few!!

[@アクアパッツァ-j1w]

まず、氏家さん紹介が早いですね。 これインターフェースが分かりやすいけど、中身は超マニアックですね。 俺はFM音源に関しちゃうるさいよって人も納得なんじゃないですかね。 きちっとイイフィルターかけると全然チープな音じゃなくなるんよね。 デジタルだけどオシレータの機能もあって、シンセもう1個乗ってるのと同じだし。 KORGのオタク度ＭＡＸですね。

[@kevinmortimer1883]

Great demo. Very interesting keyboard. The nautilus and wavestate need a kasanori demo 🙂

[@THEELECTRODANDY]

I love Korg & this synth is amazing great 🤩

[@pozdroszejset4460]

Wow the intro has such OPN vibe, lovely stuff

[@YOSFP]

I waited for you to review it, really good!

[@hakonsoreide]

Sounds even cooler when you call it "Korugu opushikusu".

[@IRONSILVER22]

I almost always see your comments on synths I'm looking at 😊, have a great autumn!

[@hakonsoreide]

@@IRONSILVER22 I suppose we both like looking at synth videos in that case. 😀After listening a bit more to Opsix videos, I decided buying an Elektron Digitone instead, which was what I was about to when the OpSix was announced. The Opsix sounds very harsh and grating to my ears, making me think its oscillators might be wavetable as it's similar to how I perceive the sound from other wavetable synths, such as the Hydrasynth, the Modal Cobalt and Argon. It's a bit of a shame as I otherwise love the sonic possibilities, the look and user interfaces of all of them, but since my ears are super sensitive - presumably to the differently-sized aliasing you get when wavetables are multiplied, divided, added or subtracted together - I simply can't listen to them for more than half a minute. Anyway, you have a great autumn too, and enjoy watching more synth videos.

[@IRONSILVER22]

@@hakonsoreide Yeah same here, nothing especially caught me ear with the op-six. Have you heard Espen Kraft's newer video about the Kawai K3m? 🤯 It sounds soooo goooooood. That and Eagle Child's latest Kawai k4 Demo... so tasty. Not sure if its your bag since they probably both alias, but I highly recommend checking them out. Don't want to toot my own horn but you might dig the SONICWARE XFM vids by Chris Lody as well :D

[@Qjimbo]

Wow there is something of the Yamaha FS1R about this! Lovely synth, also nice to see you still doing this review style :)

[@Wulfcry]

How can you tell?.

[@snuppssynthchannel]

@@Wulfcry both are FM synths with proper resonant filters, the FS1r had the digital filters from the Yamaha An1x. As for synthesis, this machine and has little on the FS1r, even if both are FM based, the FS1r was/is in another league with its formant synthesis, the Montages "FM-X" is based lightly of the FS1r, both having 8 operators and 88 algorithms, the Montage sadly miss the formant synthesis feature.

[@XenithLive]

@@Wulfcry Same way everyone thinks all FM synths are DX7's

[@alexvarietyhour4919]

sounds amazing, we need english subtitles!

[@naotomihara7010]

ちょーー！たのしそー！ これは売れる…

[@AntonMochalin]

MG, a well known American synthesizer 😂 I like the vibe of your demos, not too serious P.S. The randomize feature on these recent Korg synths is so wild

[@rubbersoul2841]

Thanks for your demo! Really dig this synth, this one is a HIT if you ask me.

[@Ve55el]

What a great demo! Thank you!

[@Ve55el]

なんて素晴らしいデモでしょう。ありがとうございました！

[@sonjaadamson1714]

Man Korg is doing all sorts of good shit lately! Still looking to get that Wavestate tho!

[@snoolee7950]

shit is right

[@TheOrganist007]

katsunori - fantastic as always

[@AgsmaJustAgsma]

Absolutely seamless opening.

[@NightProductionsDK]

Omg that intro, makes me wanna buy it

[@hustonsingletary402]

The sound of every music store in the mid to late 1980's, lol

[@Kkidzz]

....and also the sound of me walking out the door with a Jupiter-8 for $500

[@malikmartin]

Wish there were a "Desktop" version. It sounds beautiful.

[@scorinth]

If the desktop version was also rack-mountable, I'd be right there with you.

[@malikmartin]

@@scorinth yeah if you could just replace side panels with rack ears.

[@kretzschMusic]

Wish there was a bigger key version

[@FailedMuso]

ありがとう、勝則さん

[@theaudioeng]

Well .... still prefer the classic AFM tones of my SY99's and '77. Anyhow, nice synth from Korg, going in the right direction still ..... !! 👍🍻🎹🎶

[@DJDiskmachine]

Best reviews!

[@ERICF66]

That sound.....starting at 11:43....❤️❤️❤️🎹🎹😁🔥🔥

[@giquo]

I'd love to perfectly replicate with pure FM synthesis the Dyno Piano from the Korg 01/W, which is a combi of 3 layer of sounds, not there yet

[@calvincardioid]

Thank you for this video!

[@hosufin]

I wish , I could play synthe. and Thankyou for introducing how to use the synthe

Gran poder de sintesis .

[@patrizia_HARAMAKI]

DXエレピはRhodesよりも好き♡ なんかもうアナログのベースとDXベースと混ぜてたのを思い出したわ。。あーめんどくさかった笑笑シーケンサーによっちゃどちらか遅延が激しかったの笑笑 スタジオ入る時DXのカートリッジだけ持参してたわねーーー笑笑 ライブハウスじゃ対バンのキーボードの子と音色交換して笑笑OSAWAとかHERBIEとか笑笑 6オペレータ、40アルゴリズム。。 SYとかFSの音づくりよりも簡単そう。。 どっかにDXをバラして各オペレータの色んなバリューとEVのバリューを、全てツマミ化したのがあったけど、マト12みたいに内部でパッチング出来るのね。。 ポリ6とかMSのフィルターかぁ。。興味津々ーーー(^O^)多分二、三日ずーっといじってるわ。 さて発注しよ笑笑

[@hagehagehage]

ヤマハ以外からFM音源のがちょくちょく出てくるようになったのはチャウニングさんの基本特許が切れたのはもちろんのこと、ヤマハが持ってた周辺の特許も切れたってことなんだろうな。あとFM音源の再評価もあるか。てかGS-1が出てから40年たつから特許切れまくってるかw

[@fa0179]

very cool

[@hayaya_1919]

61鍵か49鍵で出してくれたら間違いなく買う。

[@horowizard]

All those great features and they couldn't give it a decent sized 5 octave keyboard? What's up with that?

[@jonathankessler4684]

just use an external. I'm sure they did the small keyboard to keep the price down

[@suereed]

@@jonathankessler4684 Then just make a module and one wouldn't have a redundant keyboard getting in the way. No I'm with horowiizard here. Your right though its cheapness.

[@jonathankessler4684]

I’d totally buy a module. This thing sounds insane, hopefully korg decided to do it

[@hakonsoreide]

You can't please everyone - which is why they have opted for what will reach the biggest part of the market. Desktop Modules don't sell anywhere near as well as 37-keyboard synths, and a 61-key model would have been pushing £900. Creating multiple models right away also makes for a far bigger up-front cost to Korg. If it does well (and it will), there probably will be a module some day.

[@orientalflux]

sounds much better than minilogue

[@giquo]

14:55 I want to go back here many times

[@EdgardoPlasencia]

Lo amé !!!

[@mdjey2]

So much for the DX10. Korg made it first.

[@yoc4444]

最後の方、絶対オーピーシックスって読んでて後から吹き替えたでしょww でもまじで良い音！！

[@Tigerex966]

Module alone or 61 keys with more poly voices and sequencer and editing controls memory and pads.

[@BlisterHiker]

With *aftertouch!* Lack of keyboard aftertouch sucks in any FM synth (including MODX).

[@mlewmisc]

I wonder why the minilogue didnt have a keyboard this size. As a unit, it doesnt look much smaller than the opsix

[@EverettDudgeon138]

No idea why they don’t release a SE version of the Minilogue with this keybed size

[@Tigerex966]

Can you layer stack split and or program breath controller voices?

[@TooSlowTube]

I wondered that too. It seems it's only monotimbral. www.musicradar.com/reviews/korg-opsix One of the comments here says you can use a breath controller. I don't yet know how much flexibility there is in programming patches for one though: www.synthtopia.com/content/2020/11/11/korg-opsix-synthesizer-in-depth-review/

[@JamesDory]

This machine is an excellent for youtubers who dont wanna be licensed musical materials on youtube.

[@dariop.248]

Flor de reló!

[@dwightddddd]

Real nice synth, but Korg can we please have 61 keys.

[@dwightddddd]

@ErsatzMoose You are right, but I would even take 49. It is just hard to play these smaller keybeds.

[@pcuimac]

Either 73 or none are the best options.

[@dwightddddd]

@@pcuimac Yep, this thing is way too small, like most of their recent synths. Pretty pointless really. They might as well make rack mounts if they want to save money.

[@montazownianr1]

Actually desktop version.

[@ObKling]

Real nice synth, but Korg, can we have something more than toy-grade build quality?

[@sergiosensation6]

Oooooooo synthesizaaaaaah

[@Jesseweijer]

I love you!!!!

[@tommymandel3326]

Hey Uejii, could you use the Virtual Patch to modulate the Filter cutoff on the Saw Operator with the Envelope? For each of the operators in a different way? Maybe that would be too much, but it would make it a virtual analog synth as well as FM beast. Also, with the additive waves and the sliders controlling the operator volumes, you could have a pretty cool clonewheel organ patch too (if you use 1 +5 on one operator, and maybe 1+2 on another one which you pitch up a fifth, for example. If it has a Rotary effect that is.) (Or invite Lester!) I love the music you did at the beginning, as always! Greetings from NYC.

[@tommymandel3326]

PS. your video inspired me to re-explore the FM capabilities of the Montage that lives here.

[@moonsofjupiter]

cool synth but is that watch from Tokyoflash?

[@fredrikw1447]

i would get this instead of digititone keys

[@RetreatSyndromeJapan]

ブライアン・イーノはどう評価するんだろう？　(^^

[@panta11tamme]

素晴らしいシンセですね。でも、、、お高いんでしょ？

[@wasay4991]

悩ましい

[@pcuimac]

I already have a SY77.

[@autumnbrushtail]

Even with an SY77, you could still do well with an Opsix since, while it doesn't have samples, you do have some more interesting operator modes that I don't think I've seen on other FM synths, hardware or software

[@madagreement]

GUYS need help ! Can someone tell me what chords is he playing at 10:44 ? Or what scale ? I am an ultra noob keyboard aficionados but I think it sounds great and I would like to jam this chords on Ableton ^^ Many thanks

[@josetex]

He plays a Fmaj9 - Gadd9 - Bbmaj and Fmaj7

[@madagreement]

@@josetex I love you dude. THANKS

[@autumnbrushtail]

Hmm... This... Or a Wavestate... Decisions...

[@zzzxtreme]

wavestate can be more "evolving"

[@autumnbrushtail]

@@zzzxtreme very true, but I don't think I'd be after evolving sounds per se. It doesn't have to be used as such, but nevertheless, I don't know what would fit my needs more

[@DOOMJESUS]

IT MAY BE EASIER TO PROGRAM THAN A DX7 BUT IT STILL SOUNDS LIKE ONE.

[@autumnbrushtail]

Last I checked, the DX7 doesn't have anything but sine waves and no filters. You can do more with an Opsix. You don't have to fake subtractive sounds when you can literally use it as a subtractive synth.

[@DOOMJESUS]

@@autumnbrushtail AND WHAT, EXACTLY, WAS IT THAT I SAID, LAST TIME YOU CHECKED?

[@autumnbrushtail]

@@DOOMJESUS You said it sounds like a DX7, but does it have to?

[@DOOMJESUS]

@@autumnbrushtail ALL I KNOW ABOUT THIS UNIT IS THE SOUNDS THAT I HEARD IN THIS VIDEO. AND I OWN A YAMAHA TX816, WHICH IS EIGHT DX7'S IN ONE RACK UNIT. SO, I THINK I KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW A DX7 SOUNDS, MY FRIEND.

[@autumnbrushtail]

@@DOOMJESUS I'm aware you do. but nevertheless, the Opsix doesn't have to sound like a DX7. that's the point I'm getting at.

[@ditchgames]

コレ見て買った半年後にmoduleが出るという

[@zzzxtreme]

this or sy99?

[@DOOMJESUS]

THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE IT WITH TEN OPERATORS.

Yamahaはエンジニアがクリエイティブじゃないね、私は本家がリメイクしたreface dxを買ったけど普通にリメイクしましたという様なつまらないシンセ、Korg, Elektronの方がそこから先何ができるかとよく考えてると思う。 mkII出たから買おうかなと思ってる、Yamahaのシンセにはもう期待しない。　消費者は厳しいよネットで他国のメーカーがどういうFMシンセ作ってるかなんか直ぐ分かるんだから。

Softsynth

[@montazownianr1]

It's too early to buy fm based hardware synths, this long time dead already fashion music style will come back in next 30 years, not sooner.

[@hakonsoreide]

Except it is back now - or this wouldn't even have existed. It's not the first FM synth of the last few years, and it won't be the last.

[@captainuniversalart3796]

Especially for film composing/sound design. FM has definitely found a place amongst those exploring the threshold. For a pop song maybe not.

[@pb879]

Actually you are all wrong. FM synths were never out of style, nor the type of music made on it in here in Japan.

[@Djboyrimo]

Modern Trance and Melodic House producers def use FM synthesis for tracks to create atmosphere

[@snoolee7950]
