Korg opsix MKII FM Synthesizer

The opsix mkII is an incredibly versatile synthesizer based on the concept of Altered FM synthesis. "Altered FM" means that it is a fully-fledged FM synth with 6 operators, but also offers five additional operator modes - namely Ring Mod, Filter, Filter FM, Wave Folder and Effect - resulting in almost endless possibilities for sound design. Thanks to its polyphony of 64 voices, even more expansive soundscapes can be realized, and classic FM pianos in combination with an optional damper pedal finally sound as big and full as you've always dreamed of. The innovative operator mixer makes FM synthesis, which is generally regarded as complicated, easy to understand, as each individual operator has its own fader for the volume and a rotary control for the tuning. Clever LED color coding also makes it immediately clear which operator carries a modulator signal and which carries a carrier signal. In this way, switching between different algorithms is no longer a problem, as it is clear at all times which function is assigned to the individual operators. A total of 40 algorithms are available to choose from. If you still can't find the right algorithm, you can also create your own algorithms - even for each individual sound program! With the powerful multimode filter, the sounds generated in this way can be further processed and then refined using the three separate effect blocks. The step sequencer offers a total of 16 steps and is polyphonic, which means that even harmony sequences are no problem. Thanks to the additional motion sequencing function, almost all of the synth's sound-shaping parameters can also be automated. In addition to the six operator modes, an extremely flexible modulation matrix with three envelopes, three LFOs and 12 virtual patch connections is available to implement even the most complex sound modulations. The inspiring Randomize function also allows new sound programs to be created randomly and used as the basis for new sound creations.
