Brighten up your game with the Operator Mixer

At the heart of every Korg OPSIX sound is the Operator Mixer: a set of six actionable faders and knobs. Each part lights up in red to indicate a sound or in blue for a modulation. You can change the position of these controllers to open up new possibilities for sound creation, bringing new life to your musical ideas.

Convenient direct control

Whether you're experimenting with a preset or building a patch from scratch, the six data knobs on the right give quick access to the parameters you need; and with the large OLED screen, you will have a clear and precise vision throughout your work. You will also find an integrated spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope that allows you to visualize the pace of your sound signal at any time. Coupled with the mixer, creating new, fresh tones has never been so enjoyable.

Six-in-one synthesis

Thanks to the infinite possibilities of arranging and modulating sound signals, the OPSIX is able to reproduce the sound characteristics of many types of synths:

• Subtractive: The most used synthesis, OPSIX uses up to six envelopes and filters to obtain its many innovative sounds.
• Semi-modular: Signal routing to dramatically shape the sound without any patches needed.
• Analogue: Analogue controls and a multitude of superimposable signals to switch from digital to analogue in no time.
• Waveshaping: Adding deliberate distortion to the signal to achieve aggressive overtones that are harmonic or non-harmonic.
• Additive: Superimpose signals and mix their harmonies to obtain a wide range of harmonious, dissonant and powerful sounds.
• Classic FM: Finally, the flexible and powerful architecture of the OPSIX delivers unique tones straight out of the 80s, with a vast polyphony, larger than most FM synths today.
