Korg opsix mk II

CurrentReleased 2024

Six-operator FM synth where each operator can also act as a filter, ring modulator or wave folder, which Korg calls altered FM. Operator ratio knobs and level sliders put FM on the front panel, and the mk II brings 64 voices. A friendly route into FM for people who never got on with DX-style menus.
