Description
There are six sets of knobs and sliders on the opsix mkII panel, each with bicolor LEDs, which help you quickly and clearly see the relationships between operators, whose roles change with each algorithm. Make direct changes to the pitch and volume for carriers, brightness of the sound, and strength of the harmonics for the modulators. These controls give you sonic control over the unpredictability of FM just by subtracting and adding sounds as if you were using a mixer or drawbars. The opsix mkII ships with a power supply and includes a free bundle of music software.

Color Coded Operator Mixer
Intuitive Control
- Whether you're fine-tuning a preset sound or building a patch from scratch, the six knobs on the right give you quick access to the parameters you need. It is seamlessly synchronized with the display, so you can clearly define the direction of your workflow. Combined with the operator mixer, you can create new sounds easily and above all, have fun.
- Choose from a wide range of analog-style filters to add a vintage feel to your sound—from the sharp KORG MS-20 low-pass/high-pass filter to the powerful and smooth KORG Polysix lowpass filter. There are also 2-pole and 4-pole low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject filters, with resonance.
- It has a built-in spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope, allowing you to visually check the tone you are creating through the screen.
Six Types of Synthesis Consolidated into One
Subtractive
- Achieve many cutting-edge and classic analog synth tones using up to six envelopes and multimodeling filters.
Semi-Modular
- Change the tone by changing the signal path. Changing the algorithm can dramatically change the sound by changing the connection routing between operators. No patch cable is needed then.
Analog (Modeling)
- With an operating system similar to an analog synth and a rich variety of waveforms, you can quickly master everything from digital to analog sounds. Enjoy a variety of sounds such as deep bass, crisp leads, thick pad sounds, and fuzzy brass tones.
Waveshaping
- By intentionally adding distortion to the waveform, aggressive overtones such as harmonics or dissonances can be achieved. This allows you to achieve a unique and hard tone.
Additive
- By layering waveforms and blending their harmonics, you can create a variety of expressions such as harmony, dissonance, and high-tension sounds. With 6 operators available, you can also go back in time to create classic sounds from the history of FM sound sources.
Classic FM
- opsix's flexible and powerful architecture begins with a true 6-operator FM. The result is an easy way to recreate the signature sounds you've heard on thousands of hit songs from the '80s to today.
In this way, opsix mkII is able to achieve sounds worthy of being called a future modern classic synthesizer.
Beyond FM
Powerful Effects
Advanced 16-Step Sequencer
- The opsix mkII features an incredible step sequencer with the flexibility and power of a groovebox. Press the Play button on any sound to experience complex sequences. Every program has one sequence stored in it, and you can also create your own sequences.
- You can record up to 6 notes per step, and edit each note's velocity, gate time, and playback timing. It is possible to perform long phrases, input with subtle timing shifts, and drum-roll-like performances that are impossible with a typical 16-step sequencer. Additionally, opsix's motion sequencer can record changes in up to six parameters, allowing you to smoothly change the sound within a phrase or create rhythms that change significantly with each step.
Monster Modulation Matrix
- The modulation possibilities of opsix mkII are simply incredible. With 6 operator modes and 40 preset algorithms, plus the ability to create your own user algorithms, opsix creates dynamic sounds.
- Get even more power with the processor. The MOD section operates separately from the operator and features 3 EGs, 3 LFOs, and 12 virtual patches with diverse routing possibilities. You can use these features to create swirling soundscapes, add rhythmic movement to your sounds, and perform a huge range of other modulations.

opsix native
- opsix is ¿¿a digital synthesizer that provides hundreds of cutting-edge sounds to inspire your music production and experience intuitive customization at your fingertips.
- The operator mixer that dramatically changes the characteristics of the sound, and the flexible sound engine that goes far beyond the realm of FM sound sources are symbolized by the word altered and are still available, while the software's unique user interface provides a bird's-eye view of all parameters and expands the potential of the synthesizer.
- opsix native is a plug-in version equipped with the exact same sound engine as opsix. Please use them depending on the purpose, such as production with a DAW.
- For those who have opsix series hardware, Korg has a package that allows you to crossgrade to opsix native (software) at a discount. Get a coupon code from opsix Sound Librarian and purchase opsix native at the Korg Shop for a special price. Seamlessly switch between opsix hardware and software to use the same sound in a variety of environments, whether you're performing live or producing music in a DAW.
