Korg Opsix MKII

Opsix mkII is a digital synth like no other. The natural evolution of the 1st generation Opsix, it expands the number of simultaneous voices to 64. With a truly accessible approach to sound design, it’s perfect for studio or stage. Dive into fresh, innovative sounds, and explore further with powerful controls at your fingertips. From warm pads and deep basses to icy, sparkling chimes, Opsix unlocks new sonic possibilities and brings unique creative potential to your sound palette.

A vast array of sonic possibilities

Opsix starts with legacy synthesis and quickly evolves into something completely different. New sound components, waveforms, filters, shaping possibilities, effects, LFOs, envelopes, modulations, and more, underpin the Altered FM architecture - delivering sounds with more variety than any single synth has ever been able to achieve before.

Incredible real-time control

Whether you’re tweaking a preset or building a patch from the ground up, data entry knobs give you quick access to the parameters you need. A large OLED display provides a clear overview of your workflow which, combined with the mixer, makes creating new sounds quick, easy and fun. Opsix has a full range of analogue-style filters, including the radical Korg MS-20 low-pass/high-pass filter, and the powerful and smooth Korg PolySix low-pass filter. There are also two- or four-pole low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject filters with resonance. There’s even a spectrum analyser and oscilloscope built in, giving you visual feedback and insight into the music you’re making.
