Nothing much besides droning. You would loose any musicality (if it’s even possible) at the slightest touch of a knob.
Moved some posts to Korg OPSIX Selloff — Side Discussions
Let’s try to keep these discussions somewhat separate.
Had another session with the Opsix and I continue to be pleased. I feel like I’m getting more immediate results than with the Wavestate, even just with noodling on presets. Sometimes it’s a bit cryptic whether what knobs you’re turning on the Wavestate are actually doing anything. I think the UI will be pretty easy to understand for users, too. I also think the manual for the Opsix is easier to understand. Time to hit the books on Wavestate and hopefully get some awesome results there too.
Wavestate is cool, it just seems to take time even when you’re experienced with it.
Someone on Reddit recreated 10-ish Juno patches on Opsix:

such a workhorse!
I ordered one. I found a deal, while not as amazing as $330, that was decent enough, with estimated arrival in about 2 weeks.
Maybe Korg will make another Altered FM synth someday. I’d rather not wait though.
I must have missed a meeting. What’s all the fuss about the Opsix all of a sudden?
Korg was selling them for 330 in the states and suddenly tons of people woke up on a modern classic
Rip Van Winkle is ready to buy !
Pretty interesting how a few hundred dollars off will completely rearrange how people feel about a synth.
Quite.
Still a straight grand AUD here. They could be 300 AUD and I still wouldn’t want one.
Explains what all the fuss is about. Fickle humans eh?
Can’t deny FOMO is a factor but AdamJay’s posts on this thread also sold me.
OscillatorSink’s YT videos first got my attention, ever since he started uploading them, with first vid predating the Korg selloff by quite a bit of time.
still, I don’t get why it was only in the US?
I have covid atm so ain’t the sharpest tool in the box. please excuse if I missed that bit
Yeah, I’m in the same boat. I love the interface of the OpSix, the flexibility of the synth engine and all that, but I just don’t want a keyboard in that form factor with that built-in sequencer. Digitone 4 life.
I’ll still watch OscillatorSink’s videos though, can’t deny that’s OpSix is a great sounding unit and I get lots of sound design inspo from that channel.
I actually wonder why this didnt sell (if thats why its discontinued). Feel like theres been a disire for a proper FM synth for ages. And this is proper FM made as simple as it gets right? Sounds really good too, far better than Digitone IMO (ducking )
I think that they used the method oscillator sink demonstrates here. From this tutorial, I think you could also build a lot if an analog four in the opsix.
“What went wrong with marketing/business decisions” kind of talk, speculation, etc. is happening on the below thread
Oh I get it, it’s not that I don’t acknowledge that OPSix one-ups the Digitone in the filter and routing department. But the digitone is good enough for 90% of the sounds and I am like spiritually bonded with my unit. For all the remaining 10% I can get close enough with patching in Audulus or Max/MSP.
