Korg Opsix MKII Altered FM Synthesizer Rackmountable Desktop Module

Description

Korg Opsix MKII Altered FM Synthesizer Rackmountable Desktop Module

Korg’s original Opsix synthesizer debuted to critical acclaim, attaining new heights of digital synthesis in an impressively easy-to-use form factor. Now, the dark horse of FM synthesis rides into a flexible form factor that channels the sum of its 37-key sibling’s power into a 19-inch, 4U rackmountable desktop module. With the Opsix MkII Module, its polyphony is doubled from its predecessor’s 32 voices to a massive 64 voices of 6-operator FM madness. Its versatile chassis accommodates a number of desktop, rackmounted, studio, and stage configurations to support virtually any style of performance. An elegant, intuitive interface conceals a deceptive level of depth, blending user-friendly arrangements with six distinctive styles of synthesis, allowing you to get as granular as desired in your sound design, but never more than a few steps away from one of its 250 diverse presets. Analog modeling, waveshaping, additive synthesis, and more are always on tap within the synth’s time-bending architecture, and Music Bliss synth scholars are especially impressed with its broad range of expressive tools, including assignable, polyphonic, and channel-specific aftertouch. Plus, MIDI 2.0 Property Exchange support means even greater heights of expression to the summit via 30 built-in FX, a polyphonic motion sequencer, a randomizer, and an armature of limitless sonic virtuality begging to be explored.
