@@dingbatjack1234 I would have to shut myself off in a cabin for 5 years because if I were to ever release an album it would have to beat The Downward Spiral;)
@@Jexus doesn't even need to be that deep man! just slightly longer versions of tracks like this. weird dream-visions. you've already got all the patches for it!
I kind of like this new trend of these 37key Sonic Wonder pallets like this one. I have a Beringer Odyssey and once had a K-Station and Nord Modular. These small boards with such powerful engines are great for designing sounds in different environments, and later MIDI-ing them to performance boards with more keys to take advantage of their full range. I used to "design" and record preliminary sounds and tracks with the K-Station and later embellish with a Roland JV or XV. It's what I do now with Odyssey and my MX61. It's amazing how much starts out from the smaller, more specialized board (Odyssey). Other boards which come to mind are Modal's Argon and Cobalt series with 37 keys, Virus Indigo, Korg MS2000, Waldorf XTk, Micro Q, etc. I'd like to have a room full of these, which all travel with me sometimes, and which all take turns eventually getting MIDI'd to a performance keyboard with at least 61 keys, and having more acoustic or electromechanical sounds to bring these weird little Gnomic synths down to Earth. What was up with Jim Morrison on his desert driving rampage a little more than halfway through?
That's exactly why I love this form factor! They're small enough to not take up too much space, but the attached keyboard (full size!! super important for me since I'm a piano player first) allows you to noodle around, design sounds, and generate ideas without having to first wire it up to a sequencer or a bigger keyboard. Then, once you've perfected your sound, you can hook it up to a bigger keyboard for performance. If you've got 27 synths and need to cram them all into a closet then yeah maybe modules with no keys are better, but I think the hunt to make things as tiny as possible isn't really necessary for most musicians. Korg's wavestate/opsix/modwave series hits the perfect sweet spot for size.
Nice to see others who use the Opsix similarly to me. If I'm at my keys stand with my main controller keyboard, I just use that. But I haven't gotten the desktop conversion kit yet, despite considering it, because every so often I like to take it to the couch and spend a few hours designing sounds there. It's so light and easy to play in my lap, it helps me put up with the flimsy feel when it's sat on the stand's extra-level.
@@benbowland plus, we already got as small as humanly feasible with the early-00s Dave Smith modules and the recent boxes from 1010music. Those things are almost all knobs and legend/screen, and need a bunch of tricks to navigate them properly. If we get any smaller, it may as well just be a VST or an iPad app for all the extra stuff you'd need to plug-in to get any use out of them. IMO, nowadays, a physical instrument should always be _playable_ first and foremost. Otherwise, what's the point in taking up that extra physical space in the first place?
Great as always! Would love to see you demo one of Waldorf Microwaves (or a PPG for that matter). Not enough demos of those online and I feel like their sounds mesh with your style well
Old me: Korg Opsix, meh sound Me post Jexus: ok, the problem is i am not a synthesizer god that can see through the machine and evoke it's filthiest and sweetest character

are we ever gonna get a normal album of your own full tracks? if i remember right there's a few old tunes you did knocking about, but not a full album. hopefully one day!
5 years is better than never. i love Downward Spiral too, especially the instrumental bits - you checked out Ghosts? it's a NIN instrumental album. a Jexus album would be its own grand thing, we know your style by now :) 80's synthwave vibes with crunchy industrial beats, abrasive surprises & mysterious atmospheric melancholia all creating a documentary, even cinematic feel. i still listen to your 40-minute AN1x meisterwerk, almost like an album itself. so much potential, mate.
Can relate. But your inimitable, definitely got your own style I always know wc garbs sound when I hear it. Your visuals are next level and also unique. I’d definitely buy an album of you.
@@Jexus I'd definitely buy your album at the release date... If I were to not compose and release because of classics I'd never do anything...... albums as independent releases are complicated these days. the last few years I've been mostly making jams for youtube instead of stopping to compose long albums with many tracks. then I got a label to select those jams and make and release an album themselves. they're taking a very long time but then I'm free to keep doing what I like, without any kind of pressure.
If we want to stick to my old philosophy / terminology, the Opsix experience cannot be superb because of its limited UI (too few controls, no aftertouch, etc), but yeah, it's a solid synth engine with comfortable workflow so overall I'd say it's 4 or 4.5 out of 5:)
@@Jexus thanks I’ve been undecided on this one . I played one at guitar center but it was only going through one monitor , so hard to give it a good listen . I can tell you I hate korgs keybeds for the last few years
I'm not following Korg's "pro" line-up so I don't know what's happening in that field (Kronos, Nautilus?), but they definitely put an emphasis on the hobbyist / homegrown musician market with all the Volcas, Minilogues and now the Wavestate / Opsix / Modwave trio which are all small, kinda low build-quality but fun & cheap. I guess they learned from their Microkorg lesson back in 2002 (100'000 units sold in 2009 and still in production...)
The first synth I gigged with professionally was an N5 ex. Right now the only Korg I own is a Prophecy, I did own the Z1 at one point and that was one of my favorite ones ever! I kind of have my eye out for a trinity with a moss board in it now
Hey man I’ve been having a really hard time getting opsix sound library to recognize my opsix. I followed the instructions correctly (I think) is there any way you might be able to help me out? I can pay for assistance. Anyhow, love the sounds man keep it up
Same here with Opsix and Modwave. I was so annoyed after countless tries and tutorials, that I simply connected those two synths via good old MIDI cables.
Haha. Yeah, perfect! 🎉 Has 8 bit sine waves on board and a decimizer/bit reduction. FM in general was used for console sounds, like the Yamaha 2 OP Sound Chips. You really can't go wrong. Especially not with this machine, in addition there is so much more as only FM under that hood. ❤
@@nichttuntun3364 oh heck, I've been exploring custom patches for over a year but I haven't noticed the decimator. I guess it's in the FX section? I hardly go there. Will need to look into this :)
These sounds are for sale. But they are "patches" or "presets" rather than "loops". So in order to use these sounds in your music, you have to have the actual synth (Korg Opsix). Then you load the patches into the synth and you can do whatever loops you like :) sounds-for-synths.com/korg_opsix

Is the workflow much more accessible than a DX7? Been debating replacing my DX with one of these but not sure if it's worth it
