Korg Opsix SE Platinum

Shape your sound

Thanks to the inclusion of two-coloured LEDs on the knobs and sliders you’ll be able to instantly see the relationships that exist between each operator and the role they play in determining the algorithm. By adjusting these controls you’ll be free to manipulate the pitch and volume of each carrier, as well as increase, or decrease the strength of the modulator’s harmonics. These buttons provide you with control over the unpredictable nature of FM synthesis.

Comprehensive editing possibilities

The data editing knobs serve to empower you with comprehensive editing possibilities. If six operator mixers aren’t enough to satisfy you then you’ll be pleased to know that the Opsix SE boasts an additional seven knobs located on the right hand side of the stylish, black interface. Straight to the point, everything you need is in one handy place. Don’t waste time navigating through mundane menus to adjust one minor aspect. The handy OLED display gives you a concise overview of your sound via the six digital parameters and rotary encoders.

Think outside the box

Generate sounds outside the realm of traditional FM synthesis by utilising the onboard operator modes. This function enables you to sculpt your own sounds by using various forms of modulation. Combine a generous total of five operator modes (FM, ring modulation, filter, filter FM and wavefolder) with your preferred waveform to create the sounds that exist within your head.
