Solving a quadratic equation was exactly how I felt gazing down at the parameters on my DX27 as teenager in the 80s who was very bad at mathematics. Thank goodness for all the great presets it had!
Of course, it depends on what kind of music you're interested in playing. I absolutely love my Wavestate for creating ambient textures. It has that extra joystick that really transforms the sound in fascinating ways that you couldn't otherwise. It is also very cinematic capable too if that's helpful. But, if I could afford it I'd own all three keyboards and also the Prologue. If I were a rich man...
I'm in the same boat! It seems like the Korg Minilogue XD is more versatile but I truly do like the sounds with the Opsix. Let me know which one you're planning on getting (y)
Korg needs to make a full size 61 key keyboard workstation with all 3 synth engines included and a touch screen drum trigger pafs and true sequencer sampler and some sampled sounds for the basics and a 256 GB ssd. For storage of sounds and sequencer songs which includes 8 track audio recording and user sampling. We are talking about tens of thousands of sounds at your finger tip. No need for a computer daw audio recorder or sampler.
Each of these synths have different tech and sound, no one synth will cover all your needs unless you want basic sounds that are in a workstation but can cover all the bread and butter synth sounds. You might be better off getting a controller keyboard and using software plugins as they are quite advanced, you can get a lot of these sounds with Dexed which is free.
I have a Wavestate and Minilogue and they compliment each other well. I think it's good to have a little bit of Wavetable, Analog, FM. Truthfully, I'd use the OpSix more than the Wavestate. But the Wavestate has a real cool way of manipulating, twisting and morphing PCM samples.
Why not just buy a Yamaha MODX? It's available in proper sizes (61, 76, 88), offers the expanded FM-X engine, is fully compatible with DX7 sysex sound collections and is even made by Yamaha. The MODX offers more polyphony, a great touch screen user interface, and much much more. Plus newer updated synthesis methods. MODX is more expensive, but it's still pretty affordable. And FM is just one of many things it can do. Or if money is no object, you can buy the deluxe edition, the Montage for a little over twice the price.
i don't like this synth me its too purist and not housey enough for me unless it plays a drum beat when ya press a keey and has enough channels to jam out ram then not the synth for me the wave state did all that for me love that synth me but this is like 80s punk/synth pop and its just not techno trance i like fm but not enough to buy a synth that doesn't do techno trance and rave music but not psytrance hate that rubbish but it was good back in early 90s when it was english acid house but no more and its banned in this house i think wavestate is a better synth then the access virus but the opix its to pure and more about sound then having an e and a jam
The sound AND the piece you play starting at 12:27 is amazing.."SO" Korg!

i really love this i just really wish it had 1-2 more octaves!! FM synths attract 'players' more than subtractive so we need those octaves!
Best review so far.
Wow! Just wow!
Great demo! Seems to be another incredible KORG synth...
One of best review on the Opsix
Very nice. Super Demo of this fine Synth. Thanks
This synth would easily win Best in Show if all the trade shows weren't cancelled because of Covid19. Nice demo.👍
And if it stuck with the original prototype design.
0:14 - Oh Laura...
I want this so bad
Nice! Can someone remind me what song is at 7:00 again? 🙃
just subbed..... you have a good way of explaining abstract terms
Still love my TG77 but very tempted to put this one next to my Wavestate... Ultranova has to go i fear :-)
RAD! AWESOME! DUDE!
Very good job! Amazing sounds.
Omg i'm so confused. Korg Minilogue XD, Wavestate and now this?... which one to buy?... and they all sound absolutely fantastic...

This will sell on looks alone
Can it import Sysex files from Dexed?
Can it read DX7 patches?
Subscribed
Still without aftertouch as wavestate?
Is it multitimbral for stacking splits and layering?
I looked at the manual and I don't think so. It has up to 8 voice unison with detune and spread, though.
Great demo - thanks! Cool synth, but *no aftertouch?...* No, thanks.
Why not just buy a Yamaha MODX?

7:24 joosie groove
alabout house music jungle and acid house but jungle really
Truly don’t understand why anyone would want this....
Maybe you didn't grow up in the 80s?
