A new definition of FM synth that breaks the common senses.

Opsix is a 6-operator "Alter" FM Synthesizer.

The operator mixer embodies incredible accessibility and a flexible sound engine that greatly exceeds the FM sound source area to maximize the potential of digital synths.

Direct access with OPERATOR MIXER

The meaning of using hardware digital synthesizers in this era.It is the pursuit of operational sensations that are never achieved with software.

The operator mixer located on the left side of the opsix panel allows you to quickly and intuitively create FM synthesizers that tend to be difficult to freedom.

Knobs/sliders with 2 color LED lights can be adjusted directly to the pitch/volume of the carrier, and the modulator can adjust the tone brightness/multiplex intensity directly.

Full edit with DATA ENTRY encoder

You can use the DATA ENTRY encoder on the right side of the panel to make full edit of the tone.At first glance, it may be difficult as traditional FM synths.But with 6 graphical parameters and encoder combinations that show on the large OLED in the middle so you can go through editing without hesitation.

The HOME/ALGO page has all major parameters: algorithm, EG, and effects.Touching the Operator Mixer is all start.

5 Operator Modes to Extend FM Synth

The opsix has all the charm of FM synthesis, of course, but thats not all!The waveform has been enlarged to a wide list of not only signs, but also functions as a pursuit of sound including more complex treble sounds, or as a simple subtractive synth by filtering.

Furthermore, opsix may not be suitable for fm synthesis! The reason is Operator Mode.The operator mode can be used to create sound with non-FM modulation, generating a sound far away from the traditional FM sound source.

The combination of five operator modes: FM, Ring Modulation, Filter, Filter FM, Wave Folder, and a variety of waveform selections present a range of sound building.

40 preset algorithms and user algorithms

Algorithms are the combination of operators roles and connections.The opsix has 40 preset algorithms that do not fit into the classic FM synth category.

Usually, choosing a preset will be enough, but it also has a user algorithm function that can be assembled freely from the ground for the hard-minded sound designer.

Powerful 16-step polyphonic sequencer

16 green buttons at bottom right of panel.It is a FM synthesized color and is a versatile 16-step sequencer!

The Polyphonic Note Sequencer allows you to edit Velocity, Gate Time and Play Times on each note, with up to 6 sounds in one step.You can also create long phrases that cannot be created in 16 basic steps, and express stumbs and rolls with subtle timing movement.

The Motion Sequencer also supports up to 6 parameter movements, allowing you to build a rhythm that moves smoothly in the phrase and dramatically changes with step.

You can make a variety of sounds.

Extensive Modulation

It is available with 3 EGs and 3 LFOs that are independent from the operator, and 12 virtual patches for versatile routing.

Strong Filter

Total 11 filters includedFollow the sound making of an analog-synthesizer-like subtraction synthesis system symmetrically similar to FM.

Multi-Effects

It has a total of 30 high grade effects that can be used in 3 systems simultaneously.

Visual display of tone

The Spectrum Analyzer displays the output level per frequency band so you can see the distributions and changes caused by modulation.

It also has an oscilloscope function that allows you to check the output waveform.Vibrantly changing sound and visual feedback engages deep swirls of synthesis.

Randomization function

When you press the button with the "dice" icon, the randomization function will generate a new sound.

It is not only possible for the whole sound, but also a partial random, such as the operator, algorithm, or sequence.
