Very good and important to mention is that you can exchange patches between the hardware opsix and the native opsix Synthesizer plugin using the opsix sound librarian. And it has a built-in motion engine that lets you record changes of up to six parameters. It allows you to create long phrases or make subtle shifts in timing to create unique struming or drum rolls effects. It has 16-steps with support for up to six notes per step and you can edit each note’s velocity, gate time, and playback timing. Including chorus, phaser, versatile delays, and atmospheric, shimmering reverbs.Īlso onboard is the polyphonic motion sequencer that is capable to transform your opsix in a FM groovebox. Then, you get all the same analog modeling filters, big modulation engine with three advanced envelopes and three multi-wave LFOs as well as 30 high-quality effects. All this combined with more waveforms, the possibility to design your own FM operators and a synthesis per operator, gives you endless new sonic options that are not possible with any classic FM Synthesizer. Like the hardware, the software version of the Korg opsix packs six different synthesis types in a single device: subtractive, semi-modular, virtual analog, waveshaping, additive, and classic FM. Something that is much more complicated with the hardware. Both plugins come with very nicely designed GUIs that give a clear look at all features. And they offer everything you love about these boxes. Both well-known digital synths are now available for macOS and Windows. No simple editors but full soft synths with the same power as the hardware versions. Today it became clear: Korg is going yet another way by offering both digital hardware synthesizers as native synth plugins. Many are waiting for Korg’s next digital coup. Again filled with many innovative, inspiring additions. Wavestate on the other hand is an evolution of the in-house Korg Wavestation. Opsix goes back to the FM synthesis of the legendary Yamaha DX-7 and takes it impressively further. Korg opsix and wavestate are two pure digital synthesizers that revive classic concepts paired with many modern twists. Korg goes all-digital with new native Synthesizer plugin versions (macOS/Windows) of its innovative hardware digital synths opsix and wavestate.
